More about this item

C.F. Stead’s Crazy Cow is a unique version of a clear coated waxed flesh that maintains the leather’s natural veining and scarring marks giving it a lot of character. It has a variety of textures and a wide variation of color with a mildly glossy finish in some areas. I’ve read that Crazy Cow was tanned to be a tougher more resilient leather but once broken in its surprisingly supple and comfortable. The 55 Last is a game changer for me, it perfectly accommodates my high arches and is the most comfortable footwear I’ve ever owned.
Q&A

Why did you choose this item?

I had been dreaming up these specs for many months. Lace to toe is probably my favorite style, and White’s makes my favorite version, I just prefer their stitching patterns and their builds are as solid as you can get. In hindsight I think a moderate dogger heel would have been a better choice and maybe even removing one layer from the heel stack, but I’ll make those changes down the line when they need to be resoled, if I still feel that way.

How did you determine your size?

I was fitted in the store and they nailed the sizing.

It was a joy to compile these custom specs with the salesperson in the store, they were so patient and enthusiastically answered my many questions and really helped guide me through building my dream boots.
