The last two shoes (well, boot and shoe) posted above look to be right up Roger P or Momsdoc alley: elegant shoes/boots, beautiful looking construction and with a real pop of style.

Actually, I thought Flanderian had just sneaked into RogerP's shoe cabin and taken photos.

Don't believe so.
However, these are Roger's! :happy:

Think these rather interesting too. Horween hide! Didn't know Horween played in this league!

Betcha Eagle will like 'em! :devil:

Weejuns - Vass style!

Maybe the best excuse to purchase a pair of black shoes that I've seen recently.

Those Vass boot are not only right up my alley, but virtually identical to the makeup I've discussed on and off with Ascot Shoes over the past few years. They remain on my wish list.

I had been certain that they would be becoming a reality for this upcoming Winter. My son had gone back to school and graduated last Thursday after a seven year hiatus
between getting his Associates in a 5 year attempt, and then spending a year at Temple before deciding school was not his bag. He spent seven years of reality in the workforce, watching coveted job, after coveted job, for which he had the knowledge and experience slip beyond his reach due to the fine print of "Bachelors degree required". It was not a waste of time. Aside from prolifically producing independent films with other Temple and University of the Arts students (for a grand total income of Zero), his day job at MWH allowed him to develop a great appreciation for Men's tailored clothing.

I was finally to be free of tuition and support. He was to complete an Internship in LA this summer, then begin a career working in the film industry at his chosen field.

Alas he has to put that off until September as he will be donating a kidney to his mother next month. She has been on dialysis these past 8 months and while it is a lifesaving proceeedure, it is a miserable agonizing limbo that she is undergoing only to bridge her to a transplant so our life can begin anew.

Meanwhile, he has been bitten by the academia bug. Unless he is offered a job he cannot refuse during his Internship, he will be embarking on a three year Masters program. His schools of choice, Columbia, NYU, USC, have tuition and living expenses that all but preclude frivolous shoe purchases. I have had to be content with J. Fitzpatrick, Carmina, Meermin, and a single Bonafe for the past two years. It hasn't been easy "roughing it".

Seeing that Vass has reignited my interest, and I may well pull the trigger this summer. After all it's just a spit in the bucket compared to $65,000 annual tuition.

It obviously takes some young folks a while to find themselves, he's only fortunate to have such a caring father. And may the kindness you've shown be reflected in his gift to his mother.

⇧ If I didn't work from home and have way too many business clothes sitting unused in my closet already, Vass would be the shoe company I'd explore next as the quality, style and price all seem impressive.

I think the details of the workmanship of the best work of Japanese makers surpasses what Vass makes. But in practical terms, we're perhaps talking about the difference between a 9.3 and 9.8 if we were to assign a 10 point grading system. And while many of the finest Japanese shoes are certainly very beautiful, I suspect Vass' slightly more robust aesthetic might marry better with my own.

Do want.

From the friends at Ascot Shoes. From a few years back, I believe it may be an MTO from Vass.

Wow!

Ditto.....Leather Porn! It is addictive.

Pretty sure they're Vass. What a lovely hide!

I generally don't care for double monks for a variety of reasons. But mainly because I don't find most attractive. Here's an exception to the genre -

Would you say you have a Vass Deference?

Carl Perkins, eat your heart out!

Err . . . !

How about a blue pair that more easily slips into a business wear rotation. Vass asuterity brogues in navy museum - which by some fluke is a noticeably darker than standard and all but bereft of the traditional museum mottling.

When brand new:

And now:

Gorgeous!

Amazing? Yes! Wearable? Not by me.

Replace that lovely olive hide, with a cloud grey hide, and then it might be something.

Possible answer to the question, what shoes do Veyron drivers wear?
