Kustom Kraft

Kustom Kraft specializes in handcrafted boots and uses traditional bootmaking techniques. The company sources German leathers that are not widely available outside the region.

Dennis Kieback started making boots with little prior experience or exposure to established footwear brands. He built his skills through online resources and advice from other bootmakers, including Lars Jensen of Østmo Boots and Nathan Florsheim, who is also known as NF Bootmaker.

Dennis Kieback makes all Kustom Kraft boots by hand in his workshop in Kiel, Germany. The production process uses hand tools and does not use electrical machinery. Each pair of boots requires at least 50 hours to complete.

Kustom Kraft boots use traditional bootmaking methods. The company sources local German leathers for its products. Each pair is made entirely by hand in the Kiel workshop.

Kustom Kraft produces made-to-order boots based on individual customer specifications. The company also makes leather goods such as suspenders and bags. All products are made to order and production times depend on current demand.
