For an extra €59 you can also book a 2.5 hour return business class train ticket from Budapest to Vienna :-)

And pick up some SCrispin and sample the other delightful shoe makers in Vienna...and the nightlife memorable too ;-)    

May I know what are the other fine shoe makers in Vienna? Thanks

This question screams for fritzl

Out of the top of my head - Scheer, Maftei, Materna.
If I recall correctly Balint died recently, so that one not anymore.
Also doesn't Vass have a store in Vienna as well?

Those are nice looking

Balint's family did intend to keep things going. The son and widow both had a fair bit of training. Not sure what's up now-- I only got one pair from them (around when Mr. Balint died), and haven't been back yet to have the pattern tweaked.

There are some dealers of Vass in Vienna, but I don't know that there is a Vass-owned outlet.

Here's a shot of the P3, along with most of the others. I think the size of the shoe photographed isn't the same as that of the P2 or R, so it's not a great comparison. Nevertheless...

The more I see the Budapester on the P2 last, the more I like the combination.

Haha; who knew a random joke comment would lead to a discussion. I do personally think of the higher grade shoe makers of this world that Vass is the best bang for buck and if I had a choice I would go to Vass and get what the website calls 'Bespoke' (assuming a hands on MTO with a last maker from the info on this thread). Also would love to check out Materna remember seeing a pair of Materna's in person a while back!

Though sadly never had the pleasure to see a pair of vass T_T

I thought the P2 was no good for you?

Question, I had tried a 45.5 on the F last and the length was good (perfect for left foot, a little long for right) but the width was just a tad too narrow for comfort. I'm thinking about a budapest or norweger on either the P3 or Budapest last. Should 45.5 still be the right size?

I have an order literally just paid for today that is a pair of P2 and P3. So we'll know for sure in a little while.

Irrespective of how they fit, I do like the look of the P2. I like the F even more, of course, but have been told not to bother trying them.

What's the biggest size they make in RTW?  The pricing a few pages back mentions 48, is that it?

Vass F and P2 same size:

 

 

 

 

The P2 is more rouded in the small toe curve, this is better for my feet.

I mailed to Vass to order shoes in shell cognac but they told me they only have Bordeaux and black in cordovan. How come they have it only sometimes?

Anyone have an opinion of the Bordeaux calf? Is it good looking? Or should I choose something like antique cognac instead?

Cordovan leather is a rare commodity and some colors are even less readily available.

I advise that you wait for the color you want if you must have cordovan, or buy calf if you can't wait.

I would wait for shell cognac.

Just sayin.

Do you mean Bordeaux Shell or Calf? If it's shell - there was a gentleman who recently posted several pics of a Bordeaux Shell boot

2 pages back.

 

Vass import their Shell from Horween Chicago - And they have problems keeping up with demand at times.

 

And agree, Anitque Cognac Shell is very nice.
