BB Captoes are Snap last, I believe. LHS is Van last, although some folks have said it's Copley.

I'm pretty sure the BB captoe bluchers (which are the suede shoes in question) are on Aberdeen. The Captoe bals/oxford are on the snap last. Perhaps SevenFoldTG can confirm. My BB medallion cap toe bluchers are on the Aberdeen, but not absolutely sure about the other BB ct bluchers.

Second the frustration over no 'e' widths at Epaulet orders. Wide footed discrimination!

Interesting...most of the calf shoes on barrie that I have fit better than my shells. For example...the PTBs I have for sale fit a smidge snugger than my barrie lasted shells. But they overlap wear wise with my shell PTBs, so moving them.

Makes perfect sense. You can't really last shell as tightly as calf so this tracks and shell will feel a bit bigger

if alden uses combination lasts, why do you never see something like an a/d instead of b/d?
