I respectfully disagree but I wish them all the bestGood business move then by Vass.
May I ask why? It gives them full control on pricing and leverages margins.I respectfully disagree but I wish them all the best
That’s totally fine. But I believe a good retailer will always help promote the brand better and Vass already have communications issues or slow responses with clients. If it makes sense. Carmina did the same thing.May I ask why? It gives them full control on pricing and leverages margins.
Of course, retailers generate volume. On the other hand, that is likely not Vass’ focus right now. They need to keep cost down and increase margin in a market that has become a bit troubled. Growth is not the strategy now, I assume. Also, many Vass friendcustomers are probably shoe enthusiasts who are already well informed thus not necessarily need a dealer.That’s totally fine.

this unreliability at any given time is one of the main reasons I want to make my own workshop next year.
they have fantastic shoes and I love my pair. I hope they keep it up.

Why have you soured on the u-last ?Gentlemen, I'm planning my next black shoe purchase.
I have this one already for reference.

I'm not sure which, i should get next. I like the idea of both a punched cap toe with additional punching below the lacing...

...and a half brogue black shoe (however, the medallion that I'd opt for would be the one featured with the walnut brown shoes. Basically that same shoe but in black. I featured the black half brogue so you'd get an idea of what the half brogue would look like in black).

All shoes discussed are on the F last. I'm firm on that.
I've loved the U-last for years and years. I still do, but in theory and not on me. As of lately, I've grown more fond of the F eventhough I've always liked it. Since I've started to post fit pics I've come to the conclusion that the aesthetic of the F looks better with my style than the U. Just more symmetrically pleasing. Still love the U, but not on me with my style.Why have you soured on the u-last ?
What else do you have in your stable? The first one without the medallion will be more formal than the one with. I like both, but if you want one that can be a little less dressy (still very dressy just not like a plain cap toe) go for medallionGentlemen, I'm planning my next black shoe purchase.

The first option is a classic design. The second design is classic as well, but just not sure about it in black and whether it would cause a clash of formality between design/model and colour.

Nothing else in terms of black. As for other colours, I have pretty much everything.What else do you have in your stable? The first one without the medallion will be more formal than the one with.
