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

[Meyboom]

Interesting delivery today. Got a black Scotch grain stomper on the P last with double soles, and the date of manufacture was marked as 2/18/2007. If accurate, that must have been lost deep in a warehouse. Leather seems a tad dry, but otherwise shoe in great shape.

Date on Vass shoes is 00YYMMDD so these were made on 7 february 2018.

Thanks for the clarification. Three years old is better than 14 years old. I noticed my heels were the new "paper" ones, so it was hard to believe they came from 2007, when the company still used leather heel stacks.

The regular cognac is such a beautiful color!

TBH I would have liked a darker brown color, but I know quite well that with much wear and some darker polish they get just perfect. Currently they are my lighest color leather (sold a pair of Vass in natural shell which was too light for my liking). I will use them as beaters

U last?

U last?

F last Museum Plum size 43.5.
These are my tricolor boots in the U last, full size larger 44.5. Still not compatible with my high instep.

Not that I needed more Vass (or shoes in general), but I won an Ebay auction for a Vass V-tip brogue, bordeaux museum calf, F last - at $300. I couldn't say no. Will post pics as soon as they arrive! Loving the start of this year, haha.

I have a high instep as well but I don't find the instep height very different between F and U last. For me biggest difference is in the toe box. I am however under the impression that Vass lasts have become snugger in recent years. Or maybe that's just Vasscharm.
