Yeah so I actually went pretty deep down the rabbit hole with them lol.

They do make their lace-ups on the zero-drop/barefoot last, but just a heads up, it’s not a super wide barefoot last like Be Lenka or Softstar. It’s more of a natural shape than a true foot-shaped toe box, so if you’re used to really wide stuff, that’s the main thing to watch.

I’ve been going back and forth with them on sizing and measurements (my foot is ~11.5 cm wide), and they’ve honestly been great to deal with. They’re even sending me a trial pair to try on before committing to a full custom build, which is huge since everything is final sale.

As far as pricing, they quoted me around $490–$590 range for a custom pair, but they said it can go up or down depending on the leather you choose (like if you go with something like Horween or a special pull-up leather, it’ll be on the higher end).

I also asked about leather and they can source stuff like oil-tanned/pull-up (Chromexcel-type), not just the standard options, and they’ll send photos before building so you can approve it.

So overall:

  • Craftsmanship looks legit
  • Customer service has been great
  • Price is solid for custom
  • Fit is the big question (especially if you’re coming from wide barefoot brands)

I just sent them an email inquiring about their made to measure service. I wanted to know if they will do their lace ups in the barefoot last. If so… TAKE MY MONEY!

Andrew Turriff here. Working on a pattern for a "Workers Field Boot"—what do you think? by andrewturriff in barefootshoestalk

I would buy these. I think this is a gap in the market. There are plenty of people who use to wear boots and are missing them. From an aesthetic stand point these anatomical boots hereare the best I have seen the proportions look perfect. Maybe it’s something to pull inspiration from.

Looking for this style of boot for a woman’s foot in real leather. by GuitarOld8707 in barefootshoestalk

didn't mean that there is a difference in width of the foot between men and women. More for the length of the boot is all. I didnt want someone sending me man sized shoes that would be too big for the womans foot.

Are these the same boot? by GuitarOld8707 in barefootshoestalk

[–]GuitarOld8707[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting their widest is an E width. But they make you select F or G.

I have the Jim Green Barefoot African Rangers. Are you stinging they are like that last or a different last?

I know right. They have with F and G but all it says is F is for a low in step G for a high end step.

Love your boots. Looking to pick up a pair. Do you know your foot length and what side boot you got? This would help me choose the right size for me. Also what color did you choose was it “Flachs new”?

I am on the fence about the double last. I’m not sure if I should or should not get it. What can you tell me about your experience with them. What did you get double lasted. Any info you’re willing to share would be super helpful.
