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

[sinequanon]

Please let us know the last of the shoes, your Brannock size and the shoe size. That would help the forum members to provide specific help.

My Vass is a 39.5U (probably should have gone 40U). My feet are slightly off-sized, right foot is slightly longer and wider and in this case some pressure to my pinky toe. It's the lateral side of his heel area that really hurts, the leather is so stiff and somehow there's a small area that are particularly eating my foot when I walk.

Vladimir! I saw your video on the Vass black cap toe and that is the reason I started looking at this brand. Thank you

I wear the following but not really consistent in sizes.
Allen Edmonds in 6.5D US
Carmina Rain 6UK (bought a 6.5 but was big so waiting on my exchange)
Vass 40 but probably could go to 39.5
Koio sneakers 39

I used this measuring picture to send my measurement pictures to Peter and from there he was able to size me correctly.

Got it, thank you! I'm still trying to dial in my fit with Vass as mines don't fit.

Vladimir,
Will you have any new shoe videos coming out ?
I am interested to see what shoes you put in your $1000 plus black cap toe shoe selection.

I do actually. I'm working on the top shoe brands between 1k and 2k. The BCTO version would be done at a later date.

You should try that measurement guide and send him the pictures. He could probably get the right fit for you

Thanks for the advice. I was able to make contact via IG and he recommended that I try MTO next time by sending in my measurements. He also advised me to try a thin shoe pad for the gaping issue. I just ordered one from Amazon and I'll see how it goes.

Vass question, but sort of related to the current Vass conversation. I'm a US 13 D, looking at a pair of Black Italian Oxfords in a U Last. FYI - I'm a big guy, if that matters. Available size is UK 46. Thoughts please.
Dumb question perhaps, are the RTO Vass shoes Beveled?

I tried the pads on another shoes and it make the shoe fit tighter around the foot(Laced area) if that is what you need.

He recommended it because my foot is apparently too flat for the last. We'll see how it goes.

If length is good then it should make it fit better if it’s a little loose

Very nice Saurabh. Norvegese stitching makes this pair standout! Which last is this on? U or K?

Thank you. It’s the U last on these.

Thank you. It’s the U last on these.

Thanks. Can you please help me on the U last sizing - compared to Carmina Rain/Simpson or Alden Plaza or similar lasts.

Vass is tricky. I would always recommend buying and Trying from stores with free returns before you decide to break them in. U is the hardest to size IMO.
