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

Cross posting this here since so many of you know Rezso, he's started his own shoe company:

Passus Shoes

I know many of you know Rezso Kuti, who was the Sales and Production Manager at Vass for many years. I’m sure you shared in my disappointment when he left, but I am happy to report he is back with a new shoe business: www.passus-shoes.com I am really excited for Rezso as I know how passionate...

Vass Old English II, F last in a brown suede. Whenever I hold a pair of Vass, I feel like they're indistructable. There's a certain heft to them, the lasted shoe trees are very solidly made. Only thing I hate is the shoe laces they come with, which I swapped out for a pair of flat laces. The colour came out as a loden in the third picture but first two are most accurate.

Can someone explain the main difference between ordering Vass shoes through Ascot shoes and ordering Vass shoes directly from Vass?

You will be paying for two pairs and get only one if you order with Ascot.

Ok so besides price there are no differences?

the split toe derby, Kaan is exclusively through Ascot. But other than that, i think all models are available thru any retailers or direct

So they do not use any better material or workmanship?

Nope, the same

I believe Ascot will source their own exotics. I've seen on their instagram sourcing their gators/croc from Hermes.

Lower risk of Vass charm with a third party, but as noted, you're paying double.
