Anyone know anything about sizing for the BP last? Is it TTS?
Sorry I don't know the 3636 last. If I am 9D in Allen Edmonds Park Avenue, should I get size 42 in the Budapest last?Shorter narrower and more snug that 3636. If you have wide foot I'd suggest you go up half a size...
someone at SFx10 was rocking this norweger in cognac. looked surprisingly good with a pair of slim trousers
why surprisingly?
ive always avoided the norweger/dover-esque design.not a fan of split toe but i was really impressed how good the shoe looked. perhaps more a testament of Vass quality and design in general, but I was impressed nonetheless.
still have yet to own a pair of Vass. now ive seen firsthand what im missing out on
please do not use vass and dover in the same sentence. thanks.
i dunno, if you miss something out. but, when you're going austro-hungarian in rtw, vass is definitely something you should look into. not only, because their distribution to sf is well established through various channels.
good luck
there's a little story with a few abbreviations, i hope nobody minds i share it in a pron thread:
once a friend complained to me, that he wants a norweger and he cannot find one. well, i mentioned a few sources and makers... he looked at me as i would be crazy and said: man, didn't you listen. i want a norweger. i have been looking around for years in shops, workshops... ...nothing. he then told me: the norweger is one of the most difficult designs to get it right. in the meantime he owns a nice one gifted by his wife. he still doesn't think it's done right to his very own standards. the rest is history.
you should ask gdl203 for a picture of his vass norweger, u-last with goyserer welt. probably you can find it, as it has been posted several times on request. it's been a while, though.
dover - it's a nice pair of shoes, it's a dover. that's all.
The lack of an achilles stitch makes them so much nicer.
