Selling an Oxford shoe from "Vass VÁRS". Mr. László Vás, the head of the company, was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1946. From 1964, he trained as a cutter, sewer, shoemaker, and designer at the Hungarian Fashion Institute, and then qualified as a shoemaker in 1970. He entered a private workshop specializing in handmade men's and women's shoes, working as an assistant chief designer and shoemaker. In 1978, he opened his own bespoke workshop in the center of Budapest. From 1988, he dedicated himself to traditional shoemaking with 20 staff members. He is also known for winning the International Shoemaking Skills Competition, and many people call his ready-to-wear shoes the best in the world. In fact, Mr. Yamaguchi, the head of the Guild of Crafts, has stated that Vass is the world's best ready-made shoe. "Our shoemaking, of course, includes welting, and the outsole stitching is also hand-sewn. There are few workshops that can make shoes in this way now, but we can still do it because we have good craftsmen," says Ms. Éva Vás, the founder László Vás's daughter and the company's head. The soles are reinforced with rubber from Rendenbach in Germany, and the insole sheet is a full sock to the toes, giving it a luxurious feel. The construction method is hand-sewn welted, and it is carefully crafted, resulting in a very satisfying quality. When you actually hold it in your hand, you will be impressed by the excellent arch support. Color: Brown系 (Brown-based) Size: 40, no size indicated due to being a custom order *Outsole length approx. 29cm, maximum width approx. 10.4 cm This is a last that is difficult to obtain in Japan.
