Vass shoes = crap or the best deal on earth ?

I was thinking about buying bespoke shoes from Vass.

Indeed not their old/traditional lasts which are for rich dressed-up farmers going to the city to find a woman or for poor farmers going to the city to become rich.

I don't like the U last either. Looks too pointed, too exentric for dress shoes. Reminds me a little the shape of cowboy shoes.
Look like shoes that Elvis was wearing with his fancy costumes.

The shape I like is the F last.

They look close to English shoes. Is it correct ?

I may go to Budapest and order 1 pair of bespoke. If they are good, I will order more.

Has anyone been to the shop and tried the F last ?


P.S. When i say crap, i mean ugly shoes, because I know they are well made

Brown is for farmer. Green is for hunters. No loafer with a suit. No BD shirt with a tie.

I like that model of English half brogue they make.  Has the substantiality of an Alden or old J&M, but is more elegant.
