Here’s my custom boots. It is made of thick leather and extremely sturdy. I wore it everyday for 4 to 6 hours a day for a whole week straight during EP3 premier week and can’t find any scratches or scuff mark on it after…
I purposely made it half a size too big and it never gave me any problem from the word go. I can walk in it for hours and not feel the slightest discomfort. Now I’m thinking of making a pair of dress shoes with the exact same leather and cutting for daily use…
It opens in front, and the tongue/flap covers the zip when closed.

I guess I should've put the title as 'Not a store-bought Jedi Boot'...he hehe
I have not the slightest inkling even on how to even make a simple pouch from leather, let alone a pair of boots...
Sorry for the confusion  |

I'd say that if their pricing is reasonable you might want to post some contact info or website link.

For a custom-made pair of knee-high boots their price is pretty reasonable...around $130. I'm a size 9 so anything bigger will of course cost more...
They don't have a website, not even an email address. Its a small shop run by an old timer who can hardly use SMS to communicate...I had to fax him a few times when he needed clarification on some measurements because we don't live in the same town...
I can act as a go-between if anyone here's interested in making their custom boots, but the shipping will cost a fair bit...
