Very much so !! I got advised anything from 39 to 41.5 and just went with my gut UK6.5 EU40 and it worked out so I'm pleased and now know for future purchases.
PM sentThese look great. Perhaps they're already in this thread, but what were the specifications, and if you don't mind, how much were they?
Crockett & Jones handgrades are made of vegetable tanned uppers, for example.
Mr shoegazing I presume? If so, you have an excellent blog!
What type of leather are these? I can never get a decent shone out of my vass'.
"rikod, since you've got Alden, AE, and Vass, how does your Barrie or AE 5 last compare to Vass lasts' shape and sizing?"
Very different, AE seems narrower with low instep, Alden wider also low instep, Vass lasts higher instep. I wear US 8D in AE and Alden (Barrie 7.5D) and about 40.5 in Vass, all fit well.
You answered your own question, U-last is "too sleek", f provides a classic shape that is timeless and more elegant, but if you want to learn the hard way (as I did), purchase the U, wear it for a year or 2, then you will notice gravitation to the F and sell your U-last shoes, and purchase new ones on the F
OR
You could just trust me and order it on the F
The choice is yours
1. Saint Crispin, EG Top Drawer, AS Handgrade
2. EG, G&G, Vass
3. Carmina, C&J
In other words, Vass is awesome and a relative bargain
