I like the St. Croix Sure Fits. They might be like shapers but they are nothing like SX7 so they can't be a knock off of SX7's. SX7's are a thicker steel, broader toe heel pattern, harder to shape (if shaping cold), but a good shoe. The Sure Fits are a thinner steel, have a more pointed toe on the heel pattern (which I don't like so much), easy to shape (if shaping cold), but a good shoe. The heels are also finished differently with both shoes. And as far as inconsistant nailholes, I haven't had that problem, but I have with SX7's. So, for the person that started this post, it is just a matter of opinion on what shoes you need. Try some of each till you find what you like best.

I've never used shapers. They look just like the St Croix "Surefit" shoes. (which are a knock off of the SX7 imo) But the ST Croix's have ****py inconsistant nailholes. Most of the St Croixs are starting to get like that here lately, but those surefits aren't worth their weight in s**** IMO.
