Flame Panda Boondocker

Shinki Black Teacore Horsebutt

Perfect match

I've been overjoyed with these boots. I'd order them again in a heartbeat (even with the long wait time). I think they're some of the best boots I've handled and are even more remarkable given the relatively low cost compared to some other high end boots.

Why I own this

Custom
Style

I worked with Peng to design boots that would match my Joe McCoy 1930s mobster jacket - black teacore Shinki and silver hardware to match the ball and chain zippers. These two pieces have been in the majority of my outfits this fall/winter - and will continue to be going forward as they've become my favorite boots and leather jacket. I'm excited to watch as the pieces continue to develop alongside each other.

How I sized

Brannock Measurements
Compared to Other Lasts

I told Peng my Brannock measurement as well as the sizes that fit in all the boots I own - including a pair of Flame Panda in 181 last. He chose the size for me.

I ordered directly from Peng via Instagram for both of my pairs. It was a long wait, but worth it as they've become some of my favorite pairs.
