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

[Unvaccined]

Jealous not about others' Vass, but more that I'm still working from home with no opportunity to wear mine yet...

I had also been hesitant as to whether the Rendenbach soles would withstand my wooden floors but they have held up admirably so far.

Hi everyone! I'm new to Vass and would like to ask for some help. Does Vass do a buckle style chukka boot? Would anyone here have photos of that make up? Thank you!

Negative, as far as I know. Feel free to e-mail them.

Not sure if I posted this before, but here's the Austerities in their maiden voyage.

what do you mean by "buckle style chukka boot"? Here is an example of a double monk boots by Vass.

If you're looking for Jodhpur boots or single strap chukka, I've not seen any examples from Vass, but you could ask them. If they don't, a good comparable alternative that does do those styles is Enzo Bonafe

My poor Vass will complain about me to HR, after I abused them by not checking the weather forecast. (and if you ever doubted the benefits of polishing your shoes, here is some evidence for it).

Does anyone here own a Vass Norweger in P2 last? Would really appreciate a photo of you wearing it! Super interested in buying a pair in antique cognac scotch grain

For @kg13, a trio of P2. Norweger in scotchgrain, Norweger in suede, and the Theresianer in calf just to add a little balance.

Love it! Beautiful shoes! Thank you this is very helpful. Anyone has pics on feet? Or with an outfit? hehe

I really like the Norweger. It looks very casual and sporty but can be dressed up too. Very versatile!

 

[SimonC]

Will have a look for more but does this help?

The K last is a touch nicer than the U last, in my opinion.

Yes this is extremely helpful. Thank you! Looks fantastic. The high toe box of P2 really works well with the Norweger

A not Vass specific question here but related to my shoes.
Is a 24,5 cm instep a low instep for a 42 foot?

 

[DonRaphael]

Alright guys. Since my wardrobe has been gravidating towards another direction, I'm getting rid of my U-lasted shoes. Hopefully they'll fund some F-lasted shoes in the future/

dear all,

Herewith a few 'action' shots of my Vass Budapest Oxford in three museum calf variants (gold, walnut, dark brown) on the (in)famous U-last (I note the trousers a bit off, apologies for that).
Recap on sizing etc: my usual shoe size is EU42/UK8, for some brand 1/2 down. For the U-last I had considered sizing up (42.5), but based on some online reviews decided to go with my 'normal' size -- so no sizing up here for me. First there were some regrets, as the fit on my right foot was really tight and painful (left foot was good). Using a bit of Saphir's shoe-eze helped to solve the right problem (I don't know what nasty chemicals are in shoe-eze, but it works) and can wear these beauties all day now.

Clearly the right foot has more volume -- I hope that the largish 'V' will settle after a while


Nice profile and showing the three colours very well.


Thanks for looking!
