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

Really nice, congrats!

I am about to make another Vass order.

Considering the green museum calf in the OE II but I am ever so torn and might be safe and just default to brown museum!!! Also going to go for a split toe blucher on F last, torn on colour here though! I am such a sucker for plum though....

Check this out, maybe your size

Alas, not my size, but they are the pair that got me considering the green!

Only reason I consider is because I have plum, oxblood and brown coming our my ears....

 

[Jazzmenco]

This is a nice subtle shade of green, not too crazy. Alas not my size either.

Alright, a few more shots of the pair posted earlier today. Enjoy!

Stitching and pattern are MTO.

Are those in dark brown? Amazing shoes btw. Love the swan neck stitching.

Hello vass-aholics! I need help with sizing for Vass shoes as it is a total new world for me. Hopefully I can be helped because I don't have much, or any, experience in truly chiseled lasts. I'm hoping someone can tell me what I would be on the gauntlet of Vass lasts so that I am more knowledgeable when they appear in B&S, and when I save up for a new pair from Budapest.

9D - Brannock
8.5C/D - Barrie (Just got a pair of 947 C's that seem they will stretch perfectly but I previously wore Indy D's with room in the toebox)
8.5E/9D 888 Last EG
8D/E - 5 Last AE (Either fits but the E is roomier)
8.5G - 133 Last Church's
8 Stefano Bi Jodhpurs (Unsure last)

All of my other shoe experience doesn't really pertain to Vass. 42 CP/MMM Sneakers. 8.5 Oak Street Oxfords. 9D Quoddy. 8.5D Yuketen Etc.

Help would be VERY much appreciated.

Thanks! They are made out of standard oxblood calf.

Love the swan neck stitching. 

I don't know what it is about seeing the curve of the swan neck on an oxford - it just takes the shoe to the next level

Derek,

Your sizes are similar to mine. Based on your Brannock, Barrie, Quoddy and Yuketen, I'd say 41.5 Vass F last, but I have a low instep. Others may chime in with 42 on the F last.

I would like to suggest 41 in the F last. You seem to have lightly narrow feet to be able to fit in the AE 5 last and EG 888 last. I size 8.5E in the AE5 last and US9D in the EG 888 last is slightly too tight for me. I take 41.5 in the F last and 42 in the U last in "G" width. Thus, I would conclude 41 F last for you.

Got 'em. They look great, but went right back in the box b/c weather has been so bad I haven't even thought about wearing them. I'll try to snap a pic in sunlight this weekend.

So would I be a 41.5 on the U Last? What width on the U? What about P2? Thanks for your help so far!

Gents,

Going to ask one time before pulling the trigger again!

Split toe blucher, Oslo or Norweger. Anyone have thoughts? I quite like both in all honesty but only going for one and my other order will be OE II in green museum.

Opinions/thoughts all appreciated as always.
