Nice stuff Tom! Do you take the same size in all the lasts? Curious to hear your thoughts on how they all compare fit-wise to each other.

Two things on this, having recently asked the Vass sales guy about related questions:

First, I'm pretty sure he said, or at least suggested, they've stopped making shoes on the banana last.

Second, he agreed with this description that the P2 is "a slimmer and more elegant version of the banana."

sdolina, thank you a lot for sharing those pics with us!
I think Carmina Forest is not only wide but also a bit too long for your feet as the creases are very deep, maybe you could go down half a size?.

At least my RL Marlow penny loafers are still tide after 10+ wearings.

By the request of the SF member this morning I made some additional pictures of Vass New Peter and Carmina Forest and Rain.

Comparisons (Click to show)

The NP maybe is the narrowest from the three, but its shape fits me the best.

The heel part is 7 cm NP and 7.5+ cm Rain and Forest, so if one have narrow heel he may prefer the NP last.

NP vs. Forest

Rain vs. Forest

Rain vs. NP

Forest is close to NP, the disadvantage of the Forest is the wide heel and arch parts, despite the shape of the sole the boot itself is rather wide in this part, and for someone it could lead to slippage.

I would say New Peter 43,5 would match to the forest 9,75 EE, if such existst.

Comparing Rain and Forest - you can see the difference from this pic - Rain is wider in the widest part, but the toebox is narrower.

Rain 9E vs. Forest 10EE

Rain 9E vs. NP 43.5
