The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

Whats the best and cheapest way to get a pair of Vass shoes?

PM Kolecho on the board. He organizes bulk buys. It is technically cheaper to buy them from Vass, but many people have gotten hit with a large duty tax when the shoes come into their country which then makes them as or more expensive than buying from Kolecho in the first place. And a lot more of a headache. Vass can also sometimes be unresponsive if they are very busy. Good luck as they are well worth it!

Agreed and I have ordered through kolecho myself on more than one occasion. However I've had customs charges, VAT and Royal Mail handling fees imposed when the package arrives from HK, without fail. Nothing appears to get through here, whereas incoming items into the US, even when declared at full value, seem to most often pass onto the addressee without either inspection or charging.

Does the duty apply to second-hand purchases as well? I just received a pair of shoes with an accurate declared value, but there was no duty charged.

actually, this doesn't make sense, imo, as deedee is in the EU and Hungary already benefits from the free exchange of goods within these boundaries. besides, he also benefits from the low forint.

Hmmmm.....didn't realize that was the case between the two.

Matter of opinion. F-last is a fugly round thingie in the front, suitable for uncles. Younger men prefer the more Italian look of U and K.

I guess I will know in a few days! the fugly round thingie does sound interesting

Does the F last fit true to size. i.e. Would a 9uk in C&J be a 43 in F last?

Thanks guys.

 

[VRaivio]

emc894, I would say the F last fits true to size, but has a higher-than-usual instep. I've had to use tongue pads on my pairs, something I rarely have to do.

 

[sstomcat]

Both fit true to size...
