Customer Feedback:

Our customers report our boots run true to size (TTS). Our boots are American Medium Width. If you have a wide foot they will be a little snug. If you consider your foot narrow, you may want to use an insert. We don't make half sizes, if you wear a 7.5 we don't recommend you size down to a size 7, but rather go up to a size 8. As always, we recommend you measure first.

MEASURE TWICE BUY ONCE: Please note that even though we offer one free size exchange for adult shoes and boots, a size exchange comes at a high cost for our small shop and for our environment. Always measure first with socks and then look up our size chart for the best fit.

How we make them

A craftsman cuts the leather by hand, choosing the leather carefully and making sure that he follows the grain of the leather, his expert eye tells him the best way to cut each piece. He then sews each piece with accuracy and exactness only seasoned cobblers have mastered. Each upper body is placed then in the shoe form and with skilled and strength, the master cobbler dresses the form and prepares it to attach the leather sole. The soles are then layered, one on top of another, he then cuts and sands the leather to perfection. Once the glue is dry the leather Artisan then carefully builds-up the finish with an expert’s eye, and touch, to achieve an aged patina in just the right places to reflect the aged qualities only time, wear, and frequent care could have accomplished naturally.
