Heel

Dress shoes, on one hand are regarded very boring as the patterns had been invented for so many years, for laymen, they even look all the same, maybe only the difference of with lace or without; on the other hand, numerous shoemakers are still keeping innovating and designing amazing patterns. If we only look at most conservative designs, there are some elements shared my each one, the back seam is one of them.

Back seam helps on lasting as seamless heel needs more skilful handlasting to control the stretch without tear off upper leather. But their aesthetics are different, here I rank them from the best to least loved by me.
