Vasco Marine Sandals - Mustard Camel Leather

£255.00

Sold out

Size Medium Large X-Large

Description

Vasco make beautiful and very well made lifetime leather goods and we were so pleased to hear that they had ventured into the world of sandals. It’s really quite hard to find a solid long life pair of sandals and as expected with Vasco, they have made a great version.

The leathers are slightly stiff but soon supple thick cowhides in very rich hand burnished/ washed colours. In no time the leather will soften up and shape to your foot and patina galore. Vasco leather is fantastic stuff.

The sole is solidly built with a double midsole (insole glued to midsole) which is cemented to the very hardwearing Vibram outersole and then nailed through. It’s a solid choice, will last a long time and you can also have them resoled much further down the line.

Take a look at the sizing info but the sandals have a good width, shaped arch support and are immediately very comfortable for the warmer months activities and around the house/ garden year round.

Made in Japan by very particular craftsmen.

Sizing information

Vasco sandals are very accommodating for a wide range of feet in width, they have good width at the ball and toes and are immediately very comfortable and supple. The do come up smaller than you would expect for their sizes so please go by the below info for a good guide. For US sizing, I would say keep to the below as most customers will experience there is no actual difference between US/ UK sizing with the brands we stock, all makers sizing is quite individual. Vasco size Medium = 6.5 - 7.5 UK (heel to toe along the outsole: 27 cm) Vasco size Large = 7.5 - 8.5 UK (heel to toe along the outsole: 28 cm) Vasco size X-Large = 8.5 - 9 UK (heel to toe along the outsole: 29 cm) Please also see the measurements as detailed here. Please also get in touch with any sizing questions you may have and see our size guide for a bit more in depth info on the brands we stock. We will do our best to assist you in as much depth as we can to get your sizing right. We have experience with a number of UK, European, Japanese and USA made branded shoes/ boots to help with comparisons and can take any measurements you may need.

Exchanges:

Please follow the same steps as for refunds with the exception of:

Please inform us by email that you wish to exchange for a different size/ item and if in stock we will reserve your exchange item for you or alternatively order your size/ item in especially for you (subject to availability).

The exchange item will be sent out to you with free Shipping within the UK and at a discounted rate for EU and International customers. Please note that only the first exchange item will be sent out with free/ discounted shipping. Any subsequent exchanges will incur normal shipping charges, which will be payable prior to the item being shipped. We will contact you with shipping costs.

EU EXCHANGES: Unfortunately we cannot cover the import fees (VAT/ Any duty) for the exchanged import to the EU. We cannot recoup the costs of the initial import and so therefore it would mean too much of a loss for a small business like ours. We will make it very clear on the exchange paperwork that it is an exchange and be as helpful on the paperwork as it allows so that the fee’s are kept to a minimum.
