What is the MTO price if I order from them directly?

Vass is one of the few companies who do not charge a MTO fee if u order directly from them.

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.

Oh .. that’s a bummer. I know how much u like Vass.

Your videos on the black cap toes was one of the reasons I want to buy the black Vass cap toe Oxford.

I am a UK 10 in trickers and Carmina’s Rain last. Do u think I can maybe go down half a size in their F last ? A 43.5 maybe ?

Actually, Vass F Last is true to size.... almost. I am UK 9.5 and on Vass F last 43.5 loafers, it is a very snug fit. Don't think you can size down.

I would be very surprised if you could.

It’s so hard to say, I would guess not. But it’s probably worth a try if you don’t mind going through the hassle of shipping them back if they don’t work out.

I did find when i walk there's a little bit of gaping at the sides. When i'm standing still it's fine. This happens more with the U last than F last. Personally i've found the F last to be the most comfortable for my feet but the U last to be the more visually appealing

It’s the opposite for me, mine is when I’m standing still. I really can’t stand that.

Not an expert, but i feel like the insole around the arch is too narrow for your foot

Not really sure what you mean by the insole. But one thing I know is the gaping usually happens when someone has flat feet and that’s not the case with me.

Vass F last museum. Shame I can't capture the different tones of the leather, it's quite nice irl

I agree with the inconsistent sizing between lasts. I have a few 42 Vass shoes now and some fit snug, others with lots of wiggle room int he vamp and others are just too big.

The real problem is not being able to identify the last because it's not on the shoe. It could be stamped somewhere inside or on the sole under the size. Unless you're the first owner or have the box there's no way of knowing it or at least I haven't found it even looking at their website I'm not 100% sure of the lasts that my shoes are made on.
