The thin is that late game sorc's shoes will give you nothing if you already bought a void staff which you should buy anyway so saying that sorcerer's shoes are better lategame is just wrong. They add more burst damage early-mid game, but as stated before, being able to combo more than once in a teamfight with the CDR boots more than makes up for that fact.

Vladimir is just a different kind of caster, I'm not saying that sorcerer's shoes are bad on him, but saying 'they are the best' is plain wrong. I think every pair of boots has its uses, and generally I think that the ionian boots of lucidity are on the better side for him.

I mean, sorc's are great when they enable true damage something that will never be true late game. Late game means void staff territory, thus making sorc's shoes quite subpar. I'd rather get mercs shoes than sorcs.
