Austro-Hungarian school of shoemaking

[fritzl]



Can you explain this. These are handwelted ( I presume) so that the insole is securely stitched to upper, welt, etc, which means that it cannot be removed (without destroying the shoe)? Is the footbed just the heel liner? but that is very thin

sure. sorry for the misleading use of the term footbed and no it's not the heel liner.

it's a full sockliner which is applied on a layer of cork. ca. three milimeters. there's also an arch support(pelotte) built in. this conforms the "footbed" and is a common practice in the austro-hungarian shoemaking tradition. certainly the insole is handwelted and the sole is woodpegged.

hope that helps.

I have to tell you, these cork lined sockliners sound very comfy.

right you are. imo, they are also helpful in adjusting minor fit issues. been there, done that, got the shirt.

Ok, Me too but it have to be identical to that one, nothing less.

Agree

much appreciated. they now belong to fellow member itsstillmatt: Hey Gerd, They arrived .... Beautiful shoes, and the fit is spot on.

My next shoe is going to be a Norweger for sure!...cheers

What is the difference?

What is the difference?

both are the wiener model/style. wiener is either the name for a last and a model.

whereas they both look good, the first one is a hybrid. the wiener never came with a goyserer welt. to make things more confusing and complicated. the first one is on the 3636, which is vass' name for the original wiener last. yours is the wiener model and is made on the p2 last.

This style is one of my favorites. Good stuff.

let's talk budapester then. same as the wiener, budapester applies for both - model and last. the budapester is a very distinctive last hence the nickname sharkmouth.
ambassador and one of the most popular wearer was budapest born stock market expert André Kostolany

pictured is a budapester model on the, i have to guess, p2 or F last.

the budapester comes in three basic variations:

standard welt, as pictured

270 degree goyserer welt

360 degree goyserer welt

unfortunately the website with a pictorial of the historical development of this iconic last has changed and is no longer available.

Nice looking shoe. Why do I always see this shape forefoot associated with the budapester?

 

[imatlas]

^ that would be the aforementioned Budapester last. They look like clogs to me.

That is the F, more narrow & pointy, I ordered that one inspired in a photo posted by A Portnoy in the first few pages of the Vass thread. Love this shoe, but only for business dress, too sleek for my taste to wear casual with jeans etc. My next budapester will be in the P2 or 3636 in shell.

Very interesting, thanks. I saved the image in my hard drive and was drooling over it for awhile and inspired me to order mine. I decided to order without the goyser stitching because I wanted to make it a little less casual for use at the office, in my mind at least, I would've make no difference looking back now. I'm pretty sure both are in the new peter last though.

Guys, what about plain toe derbies?, one of my favorites. I have posted this images a few times in the Vass thread. Vass grain is really nice and lustrous. The cognacs obviously casual with vibram soles. The bordeaux I use for everything, actually Vass made a mistake with those, I ordered with a double sole and they made it double tapering to single. I was disappointed initially but I quickly forgot about it, no problem with the soles, very happy with the color too. The suedes are very nice as well, Love PTB's,

There are some unbelievable ones at the beginning of this thread, tell me something about them?
