Another Spanish Shoe brand - Yanko

[Gavinband]

Hello gents,

Does the polish supplier have an English translation on their website? Perhaps I am being blind, but I cannot see it!

Also, how much do they charge for shell MTO? I tend to only go for vass and carmina, but willing to take a punt and try an MTO here.

Thanks as always.

Gavin

Not sure about MTO fees, but this is the closest to an English website that they have:

Most of the product pages are in English so you should be able to place an order I think.

Many thanks, sir.

Gents,

Another quick question if I may. Going to buy a couple pairs out of interest, always love to add a different brand to my collection.

I wear 6.5 uk in vass F last and 7 in U last. Any fit recommendation on the 915 for me? Assuming uk 7...

Thanks as always.

uk8.5 on the 915.

 

[Gavinband]

Really? That much larger? Someone mentioned to me it's a similar fit to vass U last.

 

[Schweino]

I would say UK 6.5 in your case. The 915 last fits on the roomy side

I beg you pardon, I wrote my size.

I meant uk 6.5. Sorry

No worries, and thanks! So the 915 is a slightly chistled last similar to Rain? Do they have and sleek looking rounded toe lasts?

I think they might, depending on what you define as "sleek looking". Have a look here:

Otherwise, from what I've heard (I have zero personal experience with these brands yet), Andres Sendra is a very similarly priced, similar quality shoemaker from Spain as well. Their line has some sleek looking rounded toe lasts. Check Cooper, Evans, Jean:

Thank you, sir! In all honesty I am just looking for a blue shell MTO and sadly Rezso at Vass cannot order me in any from Horween. I do not fancy paying the huge MTO fee with carmina (I know they stock the whole cut blue, but I want a plain cap toe), hence why I am looking here.

Emil at Skolyx is incredibly helpful, so I think I shall take the plunge and give it a go!

Rain is sleeker. 915 is even more classic than F, IMO. I really like it for a formal shoe.

My conversations with Emil have probably been the best I've ever had with a "merchant". I use quotes because he feels like a friend advising you over email, not someone trying to sell you stuff. Can not stress how helpful he has been to me as well!

I wont hesitate to go with Yanko (Carmina 50% increase is crazy)
