More about this item

Round 2 with the same makeup! Last year's pair developed a squeak in the heel after 3 months. Adelante replaced them at no cost, so I saved the new pair for a second attempt at the Dome
Q&A

Why did you choose this item?

Availability: Custom
Style

Originally, this was my first GYW boot purchase. I wanted something that could pull double duty in the office or casual wear. I've had trouble with fit, so the I took the opportunity for custom sizing at an entry level price. This specific pair is actually a replacement, after Adelante replaced the previous two at no charge due to some squeaky shanks.

Did a "virtual fitting" with an Adelante rep who walked me through taking foot measurements over zoom. Originally, they recommended 8D + EE instep, but I'm happier with the E instep I landed on with this pair.

Original pairs had some delays due to low stock of the leather color I selected. This replacement pair arrived ~ 5 weeks after the order confirmation, in line with given estimates
