Custom Work: Except for the pre-made items available, each boot is custom fit and made for the customer. I use measurements and a foot tracings from each customer and new and unique pattern will be created for each new boot or shoe made. All work is hand done. The work and materials are guaranteed for 1 year.

How the Boots are Made: Boots and shoes I make are designed to hold up to everyday use. In period, shoes and boots held up to 4 months of use. By using some modern materials and techniques, my boots will hold up for years. I use the finest quality 4 to 6 ounce chromium tanned leather, recycled artificial mid-soles to prevent rotting and delaminating that occurs with leather mid-soles making the boots more reliable, and crepe soles to provide a comfortable walking surface as well as good traction and a less mundane look. 

 Unlike the cordwainers and cobblers from the Middle Ages, I do not use lasts. Each boot is made to fit tightly and then stretch to the owner's feet over a short period of time to give a comfortable and aesthetic fit. When first looking at your new boots they will look plain and flat but after a few days of wear will take shape. I encourage that after a few days, athletic in-sole inserts be added to provide arch support and to ensure a very comfortable boot.
