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

[Ranjeev]

I got mine instantly. I bought a pair tonight.

What’s up, bro? Not that I know of as these are the only shoes I’ve ever had this issue with. I’d say probably slightly but I’m not sure. This is my feet in Sons of Henrey for example.

Upon further review, I do have flat feet but Vass is the only brand to really exposed it. I went back and tried on all my other shoes, I notice it slightly on my TLB Artista and my Carlos Santos 401 last but all of my other shoes are perfectly fine. Very odd but at least now I know.

Hi! How long did it take you to receive the email confirming the payment? I just bought a pair recently but nothing on the inbox yet. Don't know if that is normal.

The confirmation of payment e-mail came shortly after the order was placed. The e-mail was automatically generated from SimplePay which I believe is the payment system/software Vass uses to process payments online on their website. Message begins with:

"Dear Client,

Hereby we inform you that transaction received on the webpage http://www.vass-shoes.com has been successfully arranged by the customer. If you have any questions about the product or regarding the shipping please contact the retailer (Vass László Kft.)."

Followed by specific detail of the buyer, transaction ID, amount of payment and product ID.

Any chance you can post a photo of the Vass pair with the gaping issue from the side (off foot), to see how they rest on a flat surface?

I don't a flat feet per se but it's more my heel that leans inwards so I get a little bit of this issue cause my weight goes to the inside if the shoe. But since I do have a normal arch the shoe doesn't gap that much

I paid last night and I got a confirmation of shipping this morning. Shoes to arrive Monday.

Here are a few more pictures including pictures including my feet to better illustrate how flat they are.

Thanks, and how about one unworn? I'm curious about where the heel/ball hit when worn and unworn. This gaping issue is very interesting to me, beyond Vass.

Vass just send all my orders to me without warning and despite teh fact that I asked them to hold the shoes until mid June. Lol they are so dysfunctional. I hope these are the ones I actually have purchased.
Will post pics on Monday.

I wouldn't daresay it's the main reason, but one of the causes is because that front part of the heel is off the ground.

I have been saying this for ages. When stepping on the shoe, the heel is forced to lie flat, pushing the quarters up. Resulting in the bowing you see around the ankle, which is just above the heel.

These are not standard Vass heels. These are lifts.

What does that mean? I bought them directly from their website as RTW.

That makes sense to me.

Not only that, the *ball* is off the ground, which I think would create the same issue. I've noticed in a lot of their product photos that the shoes seem to rest somewhere between the ball and the toe.
