The most important step in purchasing custom heritage syle boots is getting an accurate measurement of your feet. Unlike like athletic shoes or fashion footwear, heritage boots are made natural materials such as thick full grain leather.  Over time, the boots will form to your foot's unique shape. The leather will arrive stiff and your boots will fit very snug at first. Your feet may even get sore during the break in process.  This is just part of the experience with this style of boot.  Don't be discouraged.   After a week or two of wear, the leather will become more flexible and the comfort will improve.  We are confident that once broken in, our boots will be your go-to footwear for almost every occasion.
