Here are examples of four lasted Vass trees. From left to right: Budapest, 3636, U, and F.

In all of my Vass, the trees fit as one would expect: that is, better than a generic tree.

Given all the reports of ones that do not, I will chalk this up to be lucky.

It's like tea leaves or goat entrails: you have to know how to read the shoe trees.
