I take the same size for U, SP and S if it helps. I find that U is shorter than S/SP, but otherwise the fit is more or less the same. Fits a bit tight at the toes

I am not familiar at all with the S and SP lasts at all since you don't hear/see much about them but just the other day I came across a pic of a pair made on a last I did not recognize and it turned out it was on the S last. Not bad at all I'd say. Just curious, since you own all 3 U, S and SP, what are your thoughts? Which one is your favorite?

S is basically a longer version of the U last, with maybe just a very very slightly wider toe. However, both are soft squares and elongated lasts. SP is simply S but with a raised toecap (i.e. a "bump"). The black oxfords are on the U last, and the double monks are on the SP last. Both are the same size

@Betelgeuse
I would not recommend a 43. My guess would be a 43.5 in F last and probably a 44 in U to be safe. I wear a rain in 8.5UK but would probably go for 9UK to give my toes that bit more room. I'm a 9uk in INCA and it's a beautiful fit. I take 43 in F last perfectly almost and have 43 in U last. I'd probably go for a 43.5 in the future or go up in width in 43 for U last.

Also I take the same size in the Simpson last

Thank you. Did you notice any difference in the instep between the 3 lasts?

 

[Deeky]

Can't say. I took an oxford and a double monk - monks usually fit every sort of instep so its difficult to say

Incoming. Walnut museum calf with antic cognac scotchgrain around the eyelets.
Wing is extended all the way to the heel with a dip in the middle (kind of like the old english model).

Does anybody own a pair of U or F in size 38? If so, do you think you can post the outside sole length?

Unfortunately NMWA doesn't post measurements for 38. And Vass themselves say they don't know (terrible CS).
