Buday Shoes - Hungarian Shoemaker

You too? Too good a deal to miss eh?

No, just affirming your choice.

And what deal....?!?!

Has Ed put a sale on? Of course even if he has he usually doesn't stock my size (it's 10.5, Ed, ahem...)

 

[Jazzmenco]

Inbound!

I bet you're the one who bought the 9.5's

Nope! Size 8 for me

Yeah, sale on these at $439 but you're right, he doesn't have your size.

Shoot. That is a great deal. Good for you!

It's been such a pleasure finding out about Buday and that I can order them through Ed so easily, I can't really complain!

I may have to go for the 10's! How do these fit for you? TTS or generous fit? Buday tend to be a generous fit. I'm a 10.5+ not quite 11.

Carmina 9.5E UK Rain is comfortable with thin socks for me (viccel summer socks kinda thin), painful after long wear to my last 2 toes if i wear normal socks (standard dress sock) steep taper isn't for me. 9.5 UK of these fits me nicely (normal socks) even after a long day. And I tie these up almost to the tightest.
So 11 might be slightly big for you, unless you intend to use it with thick socks.

@Jazzmenco do you have any Vass last sizes to compare to?

 

[Jazzmenco]

Quote: It appears we have a very similar fit. 9.5 Rain is my size also although some of my pairs can be a touch snug. I have a bit of a high instep also. These will probably be a touch big but with thick socks and inserts??? They are stunning looking shoes. The angle of your photo sold them for me.

Ozzy I have a hard time with Vass, I have F last in 43.5 & 44 , U last in 44. U is not kind to my foot.

 

[OzzyJones]

I think the 10 will be too big, Jazz.

I'm 42.5 in U, F & R and on Ed's recommendation, I've gone UK8 in these. I already have UK8 in the BP39 last which I find high in the instep

 

[Jazzmenco]

That's what I'm afraid of but still very hard to resist. I'll sleep on it

Anybody have experience with either the Mako, Pilis, or Zala lasts?
