I am considering a pair of VASS double monks on the U last, double sole to single. I have seen that it has been suggested to ask for the sole to be cut closer (trimmed). Could anyone please post pictures so I can see the difference between a Vass with and without such trimming.

Thanks.

Sorry for the picture quality...I was gonna break out the SLR for the first time for a SF post but I just moved and it's...somewhere. The black spots on the toe cap are artifacts.


Want. Badly.

I have ordered a pair with and a pair without such a request. Frankly, I don't think it makes a big difference. I am in the middle of finals, but if no pics go up by the end, I will post some for you.

Fantastic shoes.
One thing I would do differently; I'd order the same perforation on the heel counter.

heel counter and a medalion, i might be inclined to prefer a punch cap toe insted of the wing, thus more like the berluti one

Lovely shoes Pied. Is that 6319 cognac? Yours have a buttery richness many others in 'cognac' do not. Love the colour contrast of upper and sole too.

From what i can see in the catalog, the "6319 cognac" boxcalf is different, more brownish. This one is just named "cognac".
