Why are square-toes not elegant? I have a pair of Ann D.'s that are exactly that,imo. They're designed to make the foot look elongated so that the toe itself is very narrow. Much like and old cobbler with which they made the soles out of wood. Which reminds me also,Margiela has good square-toe boots he reinterprets every season that actually do have a wood soles.Originally posted by leyla m.@Jan 8th, 2004 - 11:33 am
not pointy as the first ones. more like the last pair. no square toes please for men. i find them not elegant
thats not what i consider square toe, but plain bulky sole... you know, when the rim of the wole is so thickOriginally posted by PrinceOfCats@Jan 10th, 2004 - 5:32 pm

Square enough?:
A square toed shoe is a shoe forged or modified to follow the periphery of the foot from the heels to some point in the toe quarter, then to deviate from the periphery across the toe to the other toe quarter in a line that is fairly straight and relatively perpendicular to the midline of the foot; i.e., instead being rounded at the toe as is a normal shoe, the toe is squared off. The transitions from branch to toe in a square toe are sharp and abrupt. Square toes are usually considered a hind shoe, although some applications may find them used on the front end.
The purpose of a square toe is to facilitate turnover in a specific direction, and sometimes at a specific time, by creating an avenue of least resistance to the fourth phase of motion, turnover. The shoe creates the path of least resistance; the position of the shoe on the foot influences the timing of the foot's turnover.
