Isn't that true always and everywhere?

Given that, what in particular are you referring to?

Stilmacher is not a Vass fan. On the other hand I'm not a Corthay fan, so I suppose that makes it even

I'm not a Corthay(styles) fan, too. Sadly we are misbalanced again

From memory, I think cordovan chukkas were an extra 20,000 forint ($100).

I have some Corthay Arcas and get lots of compliments on the greenish brown color. Several (who don't own either) have guessed them to be Berluti, which suggests that the Parisians have common style elements. I prefer provocative Corthays and Berlutis to traditional British styling, but the Corthays are not my best fitting shoes. Corthay fit may stop me from buying another pair.

20,000 forint = $116 today
110,000 forint = $637

I will be visiting Vienna in April; what kind of selection of Vass shoes can I expect to see, and where would I see it?
