A bit confusing; he seems to be referring to U- and K-last in the same offer. Since K is not offered on Vass' website, my guess this is a U-last.
K-last is the new Vass last, being made in a first-ever batch for Isetan in Tokyo.

I've seen them in the Vass warehouse in Budapest above the shop. These shoes are a bit sleeker in the front than the U-last and have a beveled toe (for the lack of a better word). The pics you see on the Ascot shoes ebay site are indeed K-last.
I think this new last will be announced soon. Not sure when. The officer who showed me the samples (which look EVEN better than the U-last, if that were possible) didn't know the formal release data.
At any rate, I won't be holding my breath to have the release on the website. It's clearly not a terribly high priority on their to-do list. You can write to Vass though and expect a better response than speculating here.
HTH.
I'm not saying it's an ugly shoe, just not a good representation of the F.
Makes the shoe look shorter and wider than it is
the K is rounded at the toe as u say- more 'Deco',

It is certainly more deco (as in G&G).

That's why almost all the pics of the U-last shoes that get people swooning on threads like this one are taken *from the front*, at nearly the same height as the shoe itself. But this is hardly how the world and you will experience your shoes. So to me, U-last is a bit disappointing when seen in real life.

New K-Last, whats all that about???
