Do you not think the cap aesthetically matches the relatively slim waist of this shoe?
thanks for confirming, nothing to add.
relatively, we are talking about vass. the p2 was designed to match the english ambitions of their crowd. the people asked for slimmer ..., I dunno, if they did, I don't follow vass since years. if they did, they should call it p2/2 and communicate to their people.

Think these look alright from Clarks (at least side on) for a knock around summer shoe:

The last desert boots I had from them were pretty uncomfortable on the soles of the feet after a few hours. They looked comfortable, but weren't.

Exactly. I was thinking to myself the other day as I was wearing a new pair of F lasts (ordered 4, all F) that they always feel so good out of the box. It is the ride indeed. I also bought a pair of EG Dover as EG has brought it out on the 32 last and the 32 last fits me better than the 82 does now unless I go up a width in the 82.
Great relative value for a hand-lasted, hand-welted shoe.
good to see this nonsense is still around the forums. do it, but please, don't praise it. it's a half-assed measure. it's a last exit scenario for beaters. otherwise, just get your things right and have your leather soled shoes versus rubber soled, done. no need to mess around on good shoes with this crap. sorry to say. I will not necessarily continue this discussion. I'm totally fed up with it and the record is broken on several lines. many thanks.
A last resort for beaters? Ok, whatever you think.
I agree to this statement, but after the debacle with this asian guy located in london - ascot shoes. big player for vass. they had to sort out a lot of unwanted issues, right?
Remember Rosa Klebb in From Russia With Love?
So, am I right in thinking you don't like to topy, klementine?

A trip to the doctor might be a better solution, Shooey. And a serious rethink about education on the whole. Or maybe find some genuinely poor people and have him live with them for a few months. If he survived, which is unlikely, offer him the choice of shoes again. Forget Big Johnny and just send him to Primark.
absolutely, it's like a nose protector for a porsche 911, even worse. as I said, it's a last extit measure for outworn beaters you love, nothing else.
I see. So you like walking round with a worn down sole at the toe, Klementine. Why do you think the smart French always topy leather soles? And not only the Frenchies: even Big Daddy Shoomen such as Shooey have been known to do it.

, topy avoids ratty looking worn down soles. Nothing worse than a leather sole that is getting thin, i'd rather have full meat on those soles at all times. Some people also wear soles more at the toe, so numerous resoles can be required over a few short years, which means the welt will need replacing, and not all factories do it. The other issue is sending shoes back to the manufacturer for repair, what if they get lost in the mail? Recently l had a pair of Lattanzi get lost in the mail, my best pair ever....Lattanzi's top shoe, a norvegese Oslo. I don't want to be sending shoes all the time in the mail each time they wear down at the toes.
hang on a sec shooey. you sent this in to them and spent damn near $2000 and got a piss poor job back yet you're just going to accept it and ride off into the sunset?Sent my shoos back to Lattanzi for a resole. Cost was 980.00 euro + $320 ASD postage to get it safely delivered within 7 days. Total cost = roughly $1,800 ASD
Result:
- crudely sewn soles with crooked wide stitches
- they arrived rattling around in a big box without any packing insulation.
Things were much worse than that, but l won't go into it. Lattanzi and I probably have a karmic relationship that needed to be settled, so l needed to take everything on the chin like a man.
Another pair of Lattanzi also need restitching, but instead of going through the drama again l might just put them in the back of my cardboard and forget about them. I am putting it down to paying off karma. We don't always win, sometimes we lose. Gotta take it on the chin like a man and move on.
