Really? The Chelsea's look a whole lot stumpier than the ones in the pic

Is the lacing on oxfords on the 337 last supposed to close completely? Here is a picture of my Audley with a visible V-shaped opening. I measure 11B/C with one foot slightly bigger than the other, but I suspect that my foot volume is actually greater than indicated by the sizing due to quite high arches and little fingers sticking out. This shoe is UK 9.5E on 337 and it initially felt tight in the vamp under the tongue. After wearing them around the house a bit they start to feel more comfortable in the vamp, but I doubt I will be able to close the V much more. I am on the lookout for a few more pairs on the 337 last, but naturally I want to make sure I don't keep buying misfitting shoes. Should I be concerned about the V-shaped lacing or is this part of the design? Are there other C&J lasts or shoe manufacturers that would suit me well? Please no comments on the color choice, I needed a pair of black cap toe

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I think if you went wider they would feel too loose. I don't think they should close all the way.

BB Black Fleece #8 Captoe Boot, Double leather .. Storm welt .. Snowed the other day so they received a light brushing only. No Reno or paste was needed. Very nice cordovan leather on this boot, full of oils.

Loving your Islays with the navy laces, where did you get your laces from?

Actually, they sadly aren't mine - I was quoting CTBrumimie's post: just a few posts prior, here

Updated C&J collection shot.

Mostly boots, but I've got at least one pair of shoes for this upcoming spring and summer.

^Nice collection. Now go and put some decent wear on them and make them beautiful!

Got the Islay laces from this old-school site. Pretty decent selection of colours, at least for my purposes...
