So I went and tried a couple of different styles, I thought I was after the Craftsman but found I much preferred the Comfort Turnout.
Factory seconds, there was a very visible dent and scuff on the right toe of the pair I liked and they were only A$150 off list price so I swerved. Very, very comfortable tho', slipper-like! I may just pay full whack...
Gonna see if I can try a few other brands before I make up my mind. Also tried a pair of very cheap Hush Puppies at another shop, I would've been quite happy with those if they'd been a little narrower... They squelched my feet out a bit...
The R.M. Williams Comfort Turnouts are very nice tho', they have a lovely rounded shape to the toe. Very pretty.
