Oh just beautiful Vass shoes today, yours are really lovely. By the toe burnishing (if it was done inhouse at Vass) I would say they were made before 08.2017.
I also plan to burnish my Budapesters tomorrow at workshop, can’t wait to see results.

Thank you. These are more than 2 years old and at that time Vass never used to do burnishing in-house. This was burnished by a specialist in NYC.
Looking forward to see your results.

Yes I am absolutely milking the last of boot season, without apology.

Hi Guys,

Hope all is well! Any thoughts on home repairs for this pair of Vass boots with a Vibram sole that is starting next to come loose?

Is there a special glue and / or special nails I can use?

Thanks in advance!

Those look great (except for the sole ). Some Barge cement should probably take care of it.

You would otherwise be a sinner if you have a pair of amazing boots like that and let them sitting on your shoe rack

Question about the sole on those Vass - is it not supposed to be stitched down?

 

[cattitude]

Incoming from Vass. I wanted to try something different, with a causal version of a typically sleek model. This is the OEII on the P2 last, with a beveled waist. It is a dark brown shell cordovan with a contrasting light edge trim. I know this will not appeal to some, but this is exactly what I was going for! Great work by Vass as usual.

No of course not how can you stitch down through Vibram lug sole, they stitch it through leather midsole that’s it.
At Vass they don’t stitch it through Dainite as well, it is stitched through leather midsole and then Dainite or Vibram glued upon.

Sorry, are you saying stitch down rubber soles are impossible?
