in the Vass shop this afternoon to pick up some MTO's. They had an amazing derby boot Red/Brown suede that caught my eye. Great colour.

And a bonus

left to right: vass f last (45f), Edward green 202 last (uk11.5E), Alden Plaza (12D), Vass U last (45.5f)



Also,

Trickers slicker city last 2298 (uk11 5 fit), p2 (45f), f last (45f)
Namor - Thanks for the impressive line up of comparisons. Just out of curiosity, regardless of fit, which is your favorite last (vass)?

So these valways with the suede "uppers" - is the idea to try to get the best of both worlds: shell on the visible part of the boot and comfortable suede around the ankle for lightness / comfort? Or is this a pure aesthetic choice? Or is part of it also a lower price bc it's only half shell? I'm thinking of an mto so curious

Just placed an order for a color 8 shell chukka boot in the new SP last. Now the long waiting starts.


Can't wait to see that last. Sounds like a great makeup.

U-cap brogues in grey museum calf, which don't look nearly as nice on this photo than they do in person. I'll try and take some pics in natural lighting.
