That UK 5.5 is equivalent to what Vass sizing?

Hi DpprDr
Sorry I know the questions wasn't towards me but I wear 5.5 UK myself. I have a sem-wide feet and high instep
I take 5.5UK on Carmina Rain/Inca (sometimes 5.5UK or 6UK on their narrower Simpson/Alcudia)
When I first contacted Rezso for sizing info, he recommended me i should go with 39 (39.5 for U last since he said they are narrower)
I've heard Vass makes it a little bit and recommend big so I took a chance and went with 38.5 G width.
They came and fit perfect for me. Hope that helps.


UK5.5 = EU38.5 to EU39.
Once again in line with the following link:

The reddish tint on 6125 cognac is lovely. But my antique cognac looks exactly the same as my 6125 cognac. Anyone else seeing the same thing?


Anyone else have both the antique and the 6125 cognac?

I ordered antique cognac , but I'm thinking about getting a boot, and I don't want to get a color that is basically the same a same I already have.

just an fyi, I contacted rezso about a suede color to closer match oxblood (rather than red or cognac) and he mentioned they have a bordeaux suede right now as well
That sounds good. I also have been trying to find a more reddish suede. Thank you rc121!

Try guessing which is which. The comparison may be a little unfair since the left pair is new, while the right pair is half a year old.

AC is a brown. 6125 is a dark red.
But there's quite a bit of variation within any one Vass color IME.To be sure of a clearer difference u could consider straight dark brown, a nice versatile color

l to r. .. AC, Dk Brown, 6125 Dark Cog, Red Cog

Just made this Vass chart for myself. Shows the various brown/tan shades in natural light vs. the swatches

I own all these colours and this is by far the best colour reference image I have seen posted in this thread.

IMO, Antic Cognac. On a side note, I really like the Dark Cognac. If I can ever figure out my sizing in Vass (U last), I think I'm going to get a pair made.

Just go up 0.5 size up from F, if your F last fits well.

The austerity brogue is They both are freaking stunning.


Are those pairs on one of the Peter lasts or is this what the F last looks like for greater sizes?
(I am only an EU39.5 in Vass F ;))
