More about this item

Modified the last to lower the instep and widen forefoot. Also added a fully gusseted tongue.
Q&A

Why did you choose this item?

Availability: Custom
Style
Outdoor Activities

I wanted a unique hiking boot that was in a functional, but also interesting leather. These Enzo's were really the only option on the market. They have access to more leather options than basically anyone, and they've developed a really interesting variety of styles.

How did you determine your size?

Recommendation for Foot Shape
Compared to Other Lasts

I spoke with gurav mehra about my foot size. I initially gave him bannock photos along with some foot measurements. He then asked for my take on different lasts. I discussed over 10 lasts with him and he recommended the 173 last, lasted open, with a modification for extra room for the toes. Absolutely nailed the sizing.

Emailed mehra about the process before I was ready to purchase. When I was reading to purchase we spoke about sizing and leathers. Unfortunately, some of the leathers I wanted were out of stock (basically natural kudu and similar), and he guided me to the natural bison. I'm very pleased.
