Sorry, just have to share AGAIN. I love these, and one day will wear them to a special place. Or, loan to a special art gallery. Sigh, just admire.....


Agree they are wonderful especially that mustard and brown combo. Total dandy WTF shoes.

The order was for cigar cordovan and medium brown suede. However, this cigar colour is different from others posted here and from the cigar offered by Alden. As a colour reference below is a photo of Alden vs Vass cigar.
Alden Barrie - Vass F - Alden Plaza.

I actually think the Alden Plaza boots are the winners in this trio - love the blind eyelets.

I recently purchased my first pair of Vass, U Last I think. I've worn a few times and the shoes, particularly on the right foot, continue to pinch some across the vamp. I do like the shoes and am considering another purchase, this time on St. Peter Last, I believe. How does this last compare to U? Also, what are the chances that the shoes I own will loosen up? I wouldn't describe these as having soft, pliable leather.

The U last is much narrower as opposed to the Peter last. Furthermore the Peter is round and not as pointy as the U-last. When I was in Budapest I tried on the U-Last and it was too tight for me so I went with the New Peter, which was a perfect fit.
