Agreed, but would you agree that the shape, colours and designs, coupled with the fact that it's called the Budapester collection, as well as the Berta trees indicate a high probability that the shoes are indeed made in the Vass workshop?
I thought the arrangement was for Vass to make Ugolini's RTW line or have I got that wrong? It was for another brand wasn't it?
Yes, that is the origination of the Ugolini, or U, last.
For those that have had the pleasure of buying shoes directly from Vass, do they tend to manufacture and ship by the due date, or run over?
Who is G, and please someone tell me this is a false rumor. Anyone have any idea/estimate what Vass's output capacity is in a week for hand welted shoes? For instance how long would it take to fill a 100 pair order in a single style/model?It was this pic i posted here in March. Vass-ish shoes at the AS factory in Northhampton. The trees look like Vass/Berta. the Norweger, 2nd bottom row, left, looks a lot like the Vass style. still curious about the provenance and/or arrangement AS may have with Vass, and I was surprised when G mentioned Vass was moving to Goodyear welting. I checked my own recent Vass and they're all hand welted FWIW

G is me and the source is very reliable.
i know the number for shoe trees is around 2500 - 3000 per anno. do the math.
Fritzl - a few quick questions on the topic when you have a moment:
1) Have you seen any Vass Goodyear welted shoes and noticed a difference in feel and quality?
2) Will they be making Goodyear welted shoes across their entire range or just certain lasts and/or styles?
3) When will they begin Goodyear welting or have they already?
