Fritzl, Marcell...and anyone else with a knowledge of the history of Central European shoe designs: Why did wing tip designs become associated with Budapest...while semi-brogue aprons (Alt Wien) were associated with Austria-Vienna?

according to the Vass-book(p. 62, 64), there was sort of a rivalry between this two capitals of shoemaking.

so each of them developed an unique style, which made them distinctive.

i'm pretty sure marcell has an anecdote handy...

Demeter Halmos Norweger on the round last, Goyser stitching. The Freudenburg leather is beautiful, a dark brown with red depth under bright light. Work is mostly by hand - welted, lasted, but not as refined as Vass. Sole is not Rendenbach, bit less flexible. Last a bit more traditional than say Vass F or P2.

I don't think that there is an answer to this question... It is just tradition, style and taste.

I can find some out if you want.. I guess it was about making their shoes different from the those shoemakers of the other city. Anyway... it was a nice competition - thanks for it!

I don't think that would be a good idea. Legends shouldn't be born like this. I believe that competition just happened, as the two cities were relatively close and this craft was highly appreciated in both.

OK, one more thing - the father of my great-great grandfather's journey book (or whatever it is called) from 1844. From this picture on these two pages and the fact that the revolution has started 4 years after this - you can guess his (and all other master's) national and professional pride...

Sorry for the quality - I will make some better photo soon. And... just looking the date - I might revise my guess about 1876, when Koronya workshop has started (this is what I show in my logo). This shows a much earlier date... This document got into my hand 2 days ago btw.
