Budapester oxfords - as Vass as it gets:

Probably the most comfortable last for my feet. They look chunky at first glance but fit quite tightly, without unnecessary free space around. Additionally, they provide much better heel support than shoes made on the P2 last I own.

For people who own both the U and K last, what are your thoughts. Any preference if yuo had to buy another pair, and why? Also, is the fit pretty much the same between the two?

I own both and they fit similarly but are not the same. K is longer and narrower and I regret ordering it, as I have wide feet. I can still manage it, though. I find the U last more forgiving overall, and give it my strongest recommendation.

Anyone with experience/info on the P3 last which seems to be available on their site right now? I'm assuming it's an updated version of the P2 but not sure in what way. Thank you in advance!

Hello all, this is my first post here. I recently bought a pair of Vass Alt English U last 41.5 shoes from this forum and they are too narrow in the front of my foot and almost fix to in length (my measurements: 26,8cm length,10.9cm width and 26cm circumference). I am planning to sell them and buy another pair from Vass. I don’t think that I will solve the width problem by going to 42.5 instead I have to choose another last or to order a custom pair in G-width maybe. From what I read here; F has the widest front. What last and size do you suggest? (I also have another 8 E Uk pair of Meermin shoes RUI last and 7 1/2 Uk F Santoni) Thanks

How long do they usually take to answer e-mails? Maybe they're swamped with the sale right now.

Their lack of stock in the bigger sizes in the last couple of sales has been a godsend for my wallet :)

Lots of questions from me here, but they're not answering on e-mail. Do you size down on the P-last (loafer)?

Is it possible to pick up the shoes from the store in Budapest instead of having them shipped?

It is better to call them, they pick up the phone when there is no customer in the store.

And yes it is possible to pick up the shoes, but it is better to call ahead so they will have your size in the store.

From my experience P last run small. I am in between 8.5/9uk and 9uk would be my size in P last.
E Mail. Try with sales@... or info@....

Hope it helps.
