To be frank, I am still awaiting another pair of boots from Vass.

those came out great, the calf looks fantastic as well. is the blemish you mentioned earlier on the right toe vamp below the punch cap? any plans to fill it in? and how so?


Yeah, not sure if that was how leather was but not really any light spots elsewhere on shoe. Black polish / wax should fill it in over time

@Zapasman
 - holy crap, what a haul!

@stevent
 - the green looks even better to me now - congrats again.


Thanks, shade is really nice

Came today. Vass's shipping is lightning fast - they fit perfectly! Only thing is that the balmoral vamp doesn't cinch totally shut. I like the F-last though, will probably get a derby/blucher boot on it in the future.

@RogerP I have still in mind a copy of your double monks in Oxblood. Maybe in 2016, LOL!!

@Exdeath. +1 , even for some of my shoes. Nice boot collection, specially your last purchase.

^ Why did you sell your nice boots to this dipshit? I hope you charged him a ridiculously stupid price matching his b&s listings

Love these boots and the goyser on the second pair. amazing. What brand donegal pants are those?


Thanks, they are epaulet latte donegal tweed. Highly recommend, easily my favorite.

@Ironist specs on the pair in the third pic? Great collection


Thanks, specs below:

Pic 1 - Whiskey Shell Wingtip Boot P2 Last Double Leather Sole
Pic 2 - Antique Cognac Shell Budapester F Last 360 Goyser Double Leather Sole
Pic 3 - Oxblood Shell Long Wingtip Blucher F Last 360 Goyser Double Leather Sole
Pic 4 - Gold Museum Calf Austerity Brogue U Last Single Leather Sole

I'm starting to think the conversion of

F Last = US Size + 33
U Last = US Size + 33
P2 Last = US Size + 33

is wrong. I've seen some posts where people are saying F Last should be US Size + 32.5 which I may have to try myself.
