The term "custom boots" is loosely thrown around many times by other bootmakers. While we can not comment on what they mean, for us, it means completely custom boots. Allow us to clarify: Each part of your boot (heel, foot, instep, toe base, toe width, height etc) is made to measure. This means that the bottom part of your tall boot is not simply a standard size short boot (referred to as a "semi-custom"). As an example, consider that your right foot is shaped and/or sized differently than your left foot. In this case, all these differences are accounted for when producing your custom boots. Your custom boots are custom exclusively for you.
