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

[Concordia]

This came up elsewhere. The consensus was some mix of mahogany and black (and/or navy blue). If you're trying to darken a conventional burgundy down to oxblood, dark brown is also part of the mix.

I've only used neutral so far, very sparingly - they're still pretty new. But depending on how I am feeling about the colour, I'd happily use burgundy or brown or both.

[FrankCowperwood]

Really nice. You are taking good care of those @RogerP

 

[NAMOR]

k last? very nice rogerp

man i want to try out k last. from some angles its as though i could pull it off

 

[Goodman]

Love that shoe as well and you are taking great care of them. You should post your regiment for these on the Shoe Care Tutorial thread because whatever you are doing it's working. (I guess Vass gets some credit for using great raw materials and making a great product - must help, can't hurt.)

 

[RogerP]

Thanks gents. Namor - yes, these are K. The toe box is more confining than U - so let that be your guide.

Its incredible that they still look just like new. Truly a testament to the fine leathers used by Vass, and of course the good shoe care regime implemented by @RogerP

Every time I see these babies I tell myself I really need a exact pair like that. Pure class Roger!

It´s with great pleasure I join you after several years "eating" your shoes threads, especially on Vass. Mny Thaks to all of you, especially the coinnoisseur masters who I prefer not to mention cause the list is ambicious.

To introduce myself: shoe lover and a bit obssesed. Small collection made step by step over the past 12 years, all RTW; I started with JM Weston ( love Demi Chase) and them I throwed away my Lotusse´s and Sebago´s. Then followed, Church´s ( love grafton binder and my Ketsby booties), Alden (love shell 8 norwegian front derby), C&J and Carmina (I discovered the shell). I must add that, at the present moment I am a gunboat shoe follower and fully apassionate of AustroHungarian models/construcction due to some members...BUT NO VASS SHOES!!!...It is like to have no shoes.

I finally decided to e-mailed Vass directly 4 days ago to order 3 pairs of MTO shoes I´ve seen in this forum (3636 black shell Windsor (U cap) with medalion 270 goyser, P2 last Old English Black, F last Whole Cut Black ) but there is no reply. I whish I could fly to Budapest to try the lasts on and order, but If I do so,I will lose my family (no joke).

Could you please tell me if they will pay attention to my demands or I must go there to order anyway?. If yes, I must pay in advance and pick my pairs up there or Vass send them?. Any up to date description of the iemail purchasing process?. Any piece of advise, I am desperated so no sleep!!.

Many, many thanks.



Pics of Shell Carmina (sorry no Vass). I wear them in good health.
PD.-Sorry to open a new thread with same content.

They will get back to you but it can take a while; I think Rezso Kuti deals with all emails himself!
You can order by email, pay when complete and they'll fed-ex them to you.
(At least, that's how I did it)

Then I should be patient,

Great thanks, I did not like to push Vass with further e-mails.
