^^ Nice shoes....but that stitching of the dainite sole at the toe looks quite untidy.

Maybe dainite is quite new to Vass, anyway - you didn't see my AS Bensons from the group order ...

Got my suede F-last austerity brogues inspired by rikod (post 6465) , but m ine are on the dainite. I've sent Rezso my measurement to modify the last for my high instep, and the fit is really perfect.
Smashing! Very nice make up.

Yep, but I think - not much. If you tell me how much is the "normal" Vass MTO today, I can calculate the difference.


Thanks. I do not know the 2013 price list. I know that in 2012 a RTW Vass cost 420 Euro (excluding shoe tree).

Anyone have style 75 (cognac wingtip bal on the U) and have pics of them with some mileage? Curious as to how they look after some time.

Trying to decide among these:

Vass
700


Alternatives
700


700


Leaning towards the Vass to try the U.

I'm not sure but the dainite sole seems to have been glued atleast most of it. Also the stitching on the top sole seems crude.

Slightly off topic from the current flow of discussions...

Trying to find out if the brown cordovan from Vass is same as Cigar? Any pictures will be great.
thanks
