Should I Try it, Teh Vass?

Primary reason being there's simply nowhere to try them on unfortunately.

If you're an EG UK size 12 you're likely a 46 on the U last and a 45.5 on the P2 and F lasts. No way of fully knowing until you try them on though!

Cool David, thanks! So the U fits narrower than the F I presume? If I did place an order it would be for something on the F.

Thanks again.

Correct that the U is narrower. Regarding sizing, just don't take my word as Gospel. Each foot is different, but that's a fair indicator of what the masses have found works for them.

too much talk in this thread and not enough buying of Vass

Buy me a test pair and there will be koppage in this here thread. If I decide to go this route I don't want it to be an expensive mistake and am trying to draw from the experience available here. If I were/wore a smaller, more popular size I might have already pulled the trigger. How often have you seen a Vass shoe come up for sale in my size here? Bruh.

what i am trying to say, my thin-skinned "bruh", is that you shouldn't think twice and buy the Vass because you wont regret it

OK, Broseph, but what size???? How do I order??? They don't seem to answer email. In English.

 

[HRoi]

i'm a 9.5 medium width and take a 42.5 in F last and 43 in U last if that helps. i don't know your shoe size.

PM kolecho, he always has the hookup

 

[NORE]

12.5 Brosephus.

Perhaps you can have a version made of it, the lambskin.

I wear an 11.5/12E on the 202. Would this translate into 45.5 on the U and 45 on the P2/F then? I have tried searching for Vass sizing and last comparisons as well as reading the entire Vass Appreciation thread but have not found where anyone specifically addressed my size.

Thank you so much for any advice you can give!

The reality is that this is too difficult a question for any of us to accurately answer. Case in point, I take a 42 in the U and a 41.5 in the F, but otherwise wear a pretty standard US 8.5D. Others who wear a standard 8.5D take a 41.5 in the U and a 41 in the F. It just depends on your feet. That said, Vass sizing is no trickier than sizing on other shoes that people don't bother to try on before purchasing. There is no strict translation from one shoe to the next, the best you can hope for is an estimate that might end up being .5 off.

That's a good estimate, but if your feet are on the wider side (an E on the 202 is fairly wide) you may even need an extra half size for each.

.5 off can =

I see many deals on EGs that are .5 off and know it would be a serious compromise.
