Legitimately raise their price??? They can charge whatever they want! I don't quite think that price has to do with any of this... it has to do with the channels used to purchase the product and/or the producer is overwhelmed. Regardless, it gives pause that Vass doesn't immediately say, "we received the correct order, accepted the price, but decided to give you something else". They can just say, "the order was processed as received" and then the blame falls on the "dealer".
It's always a risk to order something like shoes through non formal channels to save a few dollars or forints... There is NEVER an excuse to receive something you paid for and received totally different (no matter the price paid or channel of purchase), but there are a lot of injustices in this world.
Unfortunately, this is one of the downsides of a living in the US (GREAT country, but service - not manufacturer oriented). In Europe - I can't speak about England, but can about Italy - they care much, much less about a "name" and much more about quality. But they can find a quality cobbler or tailor much easier than we can, and at much better prices.
You're paying a premium for the Vass name (though that name does have some value). Alas, a bargain isn't a bargain if you don't get what you want....
