Can someone help me with sizing of Vass.

I am UK 10 in Carmina's Rain last and Trickers 4497s last.

What size should i go for in Vass F last ? 44 or 44.5 ??
I love Vass. They are for me the best price/value/style handmade shoe by a country mile, however sizing is tricky. I would say 44 but I would also say if there was any possible way to try then do so. Get your sizing right and Vass are just sublime.

I am interested in buying the Black Cap-toe Oxford on the F last. Actually i am in the market for a cap-toe oxford in any last.

But 44 is not available. 43.5 and 44.5 is available.

Going by the conversation above. 44 seems to be the correct size.. Well, i guess its just my bad luck.

Pretty incredible pricing for non-eu buyers. Sub $400 after shipping. If these come with trees, it's a stellar deal. Without trees it's still a good deal.

I think they do come with trees.

i agree, its a amazing deal even at 20% off.

Unfortunately my size is not available in the model i want ...

I found the F last to be pretty generous in thr Ball of thr foot. Whereas the U last was very snug there

i have slightly wide-ish feet. u can call it a US E width... If there is not a option of width available, then do i need to size up ? or is this a accommodating last ?

In my experience, sizing is extremely tricky with Vass. I have somewhat of a high instep and wear a 7 UK in every shoe brand that I wear including Carmina Rain. I first bought a 41 on the F and it was too big. The V was completely closed and the shoes gaped on the side.

I was then advised to try 40.5, they fit much better but still gape. The odd thing is I’ve tried a lot of different brands and never had that issue. I love Vass but maybe they’re just not a good match for my feet. I put all mines up for sale, sadly.
