The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

[TRINI]



Trini, was it you that was concerned with the width of the F last earlier in the thread? I'm in a similar situation and I'm curious to hear what you did for sizing and also how they fit. Length doesn't seem that confusing to me (nearly positive I'd be a 43.5), but width is another story. F last looks like it has some room in photos but photos can be deceiving sometimes.

Yup. I'll let you know as soon as I get them.

iirc, i mentioned that before. why don't you take your measurements and send them to vash. they'll tell you then.

FWIW they didn't respond to my email....

But i've taken a chance on the F last anyway. Hopefully it works out.

from my personal experience, email is not an appropriate tool in hungary, can't speak for vash, though.

Those look awesome!

Those look awesome!

Totally agree Trini , i'd love a pair of Vass but just cant get a handle on what size i'd be and dont particularly fancy dropping £600 ish on something that may not fit. Is it the case with most here that its trial and error with Vass you just gotta get a pair and go from there??

thanks this is an under used desing IMO but one that Vass does so freeking awesomly

loving those BO's

Kev id say 40 - 40.5 depending on F and U also if you are normalish width feet

That Burgundy shoe above has great proportions and looks remarkably like G&G FWIW.

From another angle - I wouldn't have recognised these as Vass at all:

love this photo

Agreed. I feel as if there's a lot of variation with the Oxblood color based on photos. I really like the eggplant scheme that runs through these.

+1 qft, some of Vass burgundy can look a little plastic but this is good - is it Italian polish Stephen? ?and what sole? the proportions look balanced to me

FWIW, I am 9E on the C&J 337 and 43.5 on the U.

Enough talk now, time for some Appreciation. I chose this model as a summer-staple: MTO Old English II in cognac calf, F-last, leather soles with rubber inserts.
