U-last Vass austerity brogues at the tipping point of blue to black. So sharp I cut myself twice taking these pics. :biggrin:





I normally don't like blue shoes for men, but those are nice. You can barely tell that they are blue and not black. I would also love to see some austerity brogues in the form of an non-perforated U wing oxford.U-last Vass austerity brogues at the tipping point of blue to black.

Thanks. There's probably a case to be made that the plain cap toe is still more formal, but in practical terms it would be a distinction without a difference, IMO. Assuming the same colour, there aren't any circumstances that I have encountered where I would select the captoe over the austerity brogue on the basis of a difference in formality.Beautiful!
They're almost too beautiful to wear. Without the broguing, are these still considered less "formal" than a plain cap-toe shoe?
They have it in the round toe F last at No Man Walks Alone. It's either that or the U cap Budapester for my initial foray with them. Whenever that is.If Vass makes an austerity brogue in the New Peter last, I might have to start some planning.
Thank you, Roger.Audi S5 TC - I like your idea for U-wing austerity brogue.
They made one for me. Oxblood. (It would have looked nicer in U or F, but...)If Vass makes an austerity brogue in the New Peter last, I might have to start some planning.
