I think brake pads with actual shoes look much more elegant than the pads that have the post going into the exposed brake compound- like the Eagle Claw and Continental pads.

To be fair- the Eagle Claw pads were designed for ATBs and, apparently, different boss location- The Scott/Mathauser finned shoes are just a touch too long to the rear for the front fork on both my 620 and 720.
