Fantastic boots, overbuilt for what I do!

I love these boots, but they are built much heavier than I need for my application. A thinner midsole, insole and cork through the whole footbed will make them much more wearable. I designed these boots when I was landscaping full time, and wore them when I was studying full time. I can't wait till I can wear them for work again!

Style

I love Western packer and cowboy boots, but have no need for their features. I very rarely ride horses, and spend more time in lecture theatres than cattle sheds! The red and black was chosen as I wear a lot of red and black clothing, and wanted something that would compliment well.

How did you determine your size?

Online Guide

I bought the lasts from Lisa Sorrell and followed her guidance, but went up a width fitting.
