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

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

OK so I'm now looking to get my first pair of Vass namely something like these below. Whats the best way to do this as reading through this thread it seems a minefield both pricewise and delivery !!! Any constructive advice would be gratefully received

I have a pair of those, also bought from Sartoriale. If you need MTO proxied, I recommend kolecho, he's destroyed my wallet many times.

Thanks for that, now sizing UK6.5 Med width is ????????

Kev, the model you want is called a French Oxford.I would recommend a 41.i bought the boot version when i was there this week and had to size up from a 41.5 to 42 as its in the U-last.Fits me perfectly,I would post some pics for you tomorrow.

If you want to proxy, I have a friend in Budapest who is 10 mins away from Vass.Mr Vass knows him and has met him and he gives good sizing advise.He will proxy it for USD600 and accepts Paypal.Plus he brings sketches of your feet and discusses it with the sales manager there.

I saw a navy version and it was drool worthy

prices have dropped since I've been to buda... my Vass cordovan was more than that and paid in cash.

It seems like they are both on 3636 last, can anyone comment?
Saved pics from here

This is likely P2. The toe appears to be longer and narrower at the end than on 3636.

Not extended like P2 - P1 or Budapest?

yup. I went in 2008. the HUF has halved basically since then.

I've been in touch with Rezső today inquiring about a potential order. Turns out that they've temporarily suspended the production of cordovan boots, bummer.

Did he state a reason?

to save Namor funds.

Unfortunately not. I guess that it might have something to do with the availability of cordovan since it's only temporary. Then again, he did say that they were still making cordovan shoes. In any case, I sent him another email asking if the stop was just for high boots or if it applied to ankle boots as well. It's a shame in any case, I want a pair of the austerity brogue boots that Pikachoo posted earlier in the thread.

I've been lucky enough to place an order on the same boot as you are reffering to with some makeup, whiskey shell*.
That was 3 weeks ago.

*That was a choce between saddle, whiskey and cornac and Rezso stated that whiskey had the darkest shade.

Nice NAMOR! Coincidentally I also ordered a pair; however, calf, since I wanted to get the size right. Mine, black calf Austerity wingtip with a curvy thing on the side:

Learn your technical terms man, that is a curvy thingy. I would have thought that by now you would have learned a little something around here. You are such a dissapointment to me.
