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

[gdl203]

I'm just rarely in a mood to wear dress boots. Shoes are more comfortable and usually feel more appropriate with the rest of what I'm wearing. Bal boots and such are part of those things for me that are great on their own but don't get much wear. I've got a few ties that fit into that category...

in the same boat, always wear shoes.

This winter I wore boots to the office probably four days out of five.

Zonta ( Italy ) green/blue/grey museum calf. we have suspended with them our contract.
Bonaudo (Italy ) plum/gold/brown/gold +7 museum calf. we are currently offering these leathers. quality ok, gold +7 is new color. deeper shade, better contrast.

The ones in the picture look like they have the "HAF" sole, and resulting imbalance with the heel. Yours are better!

 

[OzzyJones]

Are those pics of the same shoe?
I lurve those!!

Yes, they are, and I based my pair on those.

I was under the impression Vass 'balanced' their HAF soles with added heel layers?

Dashing makeup my man....is the red bit around the laces suede? If i had to name this model id call it the Courtier.

Only if you ask, apparently.

I'm with you on this one for sure @OzzyJones. I see from the original post that these are cordovan. Beyond the style itself, which is terrific, I really like how the broguing seems to shade a little darker than the rest of the shoe.

I suppose I might be waiting some time to get a pair in cognac cordovan, though I suppose I wouldn't know until I ask.

I might have to add something like that to my wishlist. Right now it has far too many things on it, including:

R last oxford OE plain in cognac calf
R last oxford Budapest in burgundy shell
Budapest last Norweger loafer in black shell
Budapest or New Peter loafer in ostrich of some shade
And then I might have to add that one in the photo above... I don't know if I'm a U last man though, so I'd have to figure out the last. Probably R or F.

That's not too many, right?

Better get on that.

Maybe I'll pick one for one.
