Maryam Miltons

I thought I’d be slick and standardize my done photos, but I’m in Japan training with a shoemaker now and had to change the setting for the final submission…oops. Anyway, I’ll probably have these boots for the rest of my life, and am so glad I got the chance to order from Nathan. Will I dome next year? Idk…why would I need another pair of boots?

Q&A

Why did you choose this item?

Availability: Custom

Alex (@boots.and.brews) had a gorgeous pair from Nathan the previous year in the same leather. I also really wanted to try some Maryam leather, so it was an easy choice.

How did you determine your size?

Brannock Measurements

Nathan helped out a bunch but at the end of the day we just trusted the bannock and it worked out great.

What was the ordering process?

For those that don’t know, I’m a bespoke shoemaker. Nathan and I had been discussing the possibility of me coming out to Cleveland so I could watch him make a pair to learn more about making shoes using stitchdown construction. He suggested I just order a pair from him and I could watch him make those, which I was obviously thrilled about. So not the typical ordering process.
