@neph93:

Lovely looking boots. I like the toe profile a lot. Nice mix of vintage and mid-century.

Thank you!

@Shaffer92:

Incredible man. How long did that take you?

Thanks! I took my time but if I focused, I could have probably done it in a week and a hal to 2 weeks.

@Chris:

Where did you learn to make boots?

Mostly online but I did get help from a local bootmaker when it got tougher.

I made them! First attempt.

@neph93:

Some nice looking boots there. Which brand/maker?

What do you think?
