My father has a pair of suede DMs with Dainite sole. What would you like to know?
Hi, what's DMs?
I would like to know how breathable Dainite sole is.
Thanks.

Are DMs = Double Monks?
Greetings all,
I am a long time lurker but I just had to post. I've been through a good 60ish pages of this thread, including googling on vass f last sizes. And I've been more confused than if I hadn't tried at all. I'm amidst talks with mr Rezso to commission my first pair of vass saddle shell cordovan captoe boots.
I've read that for a US9D, I can be anywhere between 41-42.5 on the F last. Plus I read somewhere on here that cordovan models size large, between 0.5-1 size difference, like seriously? Vass could be the hardest pair of shoes to size online!
I am a US9D, slightly on the narrow D side.
8.5USD for Alden's Indy in trubulance, shell chukka in Barrie, for a perfect gloved fit with ample room in the toe box.
I know this has been asked way too much, but I could use some help! Does vass cordovan shoes really run larger than calf models? Any thing I should take note for a 7 eyelet derby boot on the F last? Help a man forge his pair of dream boots!
Need some sizing advice, have slightly wider shorter feet
Good fit:
Alden Trubalance / Barrie / Modified / Grant: 10.5D
Carmina Oscar : 10UK
C&J 337
Edward Green 202 10.5E UK
Trickers (non country lasts): 10UK Fitting 5
Ok fit kinda narrow
C&J 325 9.5E UK
EG E82: 10.5 UK just a hair tight
G&G TG73, MH71 10.5 E just a hair tight
Meermin hiro: kind of long for me
What last / width would work best? And to order just email the info@ vass email?

Hi
Yes DMs are Double Monks.
As to the breathability of Dainite soles: It's zero. Rubber is hermetic.
But that is not the point: I have several shoes with Dainite soles and I don't sweat more in them as apart from the sole they are built from leather and other breathable materials. I can't imagine there's much breathing going on through the sole, also if it's leather. Some others may chime with more technical knowledge
