Does it look different on different size U-last shoes?
I have a close cut U-last and it looks, from the pics, identical to PG's shoes.
Again , from your experience does the welt shows more on larger sizes?
Perhaps I should consider ordering a regular welt from now on, since it does look good on PG's pics.

These are standard welt, duble sole, U last, size US 10. Don't think they are bumper like.

Vox - I LOVE that Norweger in Cigar, and I'm not sure what is driving my fascination for it. I don't even like bluchers all that much (except for 2-3 eyelet derbies on a sleek last). It's probably all in the execution, including the leather/color choice.

I can't recall, did you say the Cigar was leather you provided as part of MTO? Do you know if there is a color similar to Cigar amont their RTW?

Quite right, Ed. If we look too hard, we might go blind

BTW, your Norwegians are on New Peter last, not Peter.

Thank you, and thanks for the correction. You would know...

Thanks. Correct: Vass does not stock cigar cordo. For detailed questions, I would refer you to the Vass afficianado that I thank first in this reply.

Perfect. Thanks.

U last sizing? I wear a perfect US11.5D and 10.5EUK in Lobbs and CJs. I have the Budapest last in a 45.5 and they fit like a US12 (a bit large on me). I think the Budapest runs a little big?
Should I get 45 or 45.5 for a pair of Vass in U-last?

PS. This is also posted in another Vass thread, I need all the input I can get.

Those chukkas make me drool.

More for the database:

Left and rightt: black boxcalf U-last penny loafer, and antique cognac boxcalf F-last Italian oxford (the latter double sole going to single at the waist).

Center: dark cognac boxcalf and dark cognac scotch grain Bupapest last Alt Wien, double soles with Goyser stitching fore of the heel.

- looking at Eds & Bazz' black shoes make me realise that I need at least one PAIR!

Wow! Voluptuous...

Vox,

I love the work done on your Budapest on Alt Wien last. I've seen such shoes in real but i do not dare buying a pair as they look a bit too "roundish" and "clunky" for my taste.

Have to agree; those are beautiful and in no way clunky, even if sturdy. Wow.
