If i have to decide basicly to buy a pair of new shoes which country you suggest me premise that I like Vass

just off the top of my head I woudl say that if you are living in italy, hungary will be more of a "different" experience than madrid. so go to budapest.

Budapest will be significantly less expensive. So much so that you may be able to buy a second pair of Vass, which would make it better IMO

You might also want to consider the time that you are going, as Budapest is COLD in the winter.

when you go to hungary , please let us know what the Vass store charges per rtw shoe. I am curious how inexpensive the cost may be.

Dior, when I bought my Vass U-last in Budapest last August, I would guestimate that I paid around $500-550 minus any VAT. The New Peter full brogue derbies were, IIRC, between $400-450. This is an estimate based on the Forint to dollar conversion. My total for both shoes came out on my credit card at about $1000 minus about 100 or so for VAT. Since I had multiple purchases in the EU, I got a lump refund so couldn't give you more exact numbers with regards to the refund (rough estimates including any conversion charges, etc.)

now those are very low prices.
400-450? my c.c will go crazy at that store.
