Don't, it can get him into trouble

well put, agreed

probably you made some valid points and i'll think over my "shoevinism".

operation paprika is a very special and emotional project to me. a learning process in progress.

back to vass, agreed?

They are all good stuffs, you get what you paid!

I agree with YGWYP!

Ok, a lot of strong words here. About shoes. This could never hapen in real life.

I think, fritzl is sometimes misunderstood (deliberately). He does not "hate" all shoes which are made by non-austro-hungarian makers. He is simply trying to point out that any discussion about "value for money" etc. we are leading here is useless without saying that there is almost no place left but Vienna/Budapest where you can buy a shoe that hasn't seen any machine in its whole genesis. Fuuma et al. might think slightly different about fancy sole finish and tapered schnickschnack had they ever seen a passionate one-person shoemaking business in real life. I mean, we can discuss oh-so beautiful EG, G&G and Sutor shoes ad infnitium -- at the end of the day, they are all nothing more but generic. Anyone willing to spend the money can buy them. Of course, he is buying shoes then that are much more precious and solid than 99% of the population but he still has bought a mass market-oriented product.

And FWIW: So far, fritzl is not really selling shoes, he is proxying undelivered bespoke orders largely without profit. His interest in shoemaking is by no means a commercial one. So I've got to learn in various discussions with him in the last half of a year.

Now, back to those Vass shoes!

I have no real desire to continue this, but that was, again, a rather condescending and self-important post. Let me paraphrase: "If you simpletons only knew what we true shoe connoisseurs do, you would realize how pathetic your "prestigious" Lobbs appear. Now go forth and be saved from mass-market consumerism."

Sorry but what does this mean? I never had Vass decline to use a double sole on my U-lasted shoes.

I cant begin to tell you on how much i disagree with this post, it also comes across as pompous and as previously mentioned so condescending. I wonder how many people at both EG & G&G realise that , in certain quarters, that the shoes they are producing are both merely generic and mass market oriented product????? Ive never heard such much twaddle poppycock and BS all in one post.

I may not love the styling of a lot of the Austro Hungarian efforts posted on these forums but i can certainly appreciate the workmanship and craftmanship.

Back to VASS , what a wonderful thread full of so many beautiful works of art !! Compliments to all who have bothered to post their beauties.

Well I got my Vass Whiskey Shell PTBs in today from a fellow SFer who sold em NIB to me, came with the original box, lasted trees, and shoebags ... but best of all, they fit like gloves!

Looks great, furo.
