Something a little different perhaps.. some custom Dogleap Chillinghams..

Having recently received my custom Dogleap Chillinghams I think Dogleap ought to have a bit of a mention here as a small UK bootmaker. They are based up in Newcastle, but there isn't too much about them other than their website. They make a stunning boot!

Dogleap Boots

Fully hand made and so plenty of customisation possible. They were happy to make my pair with leather that I supplied. I don't have much experience with higher end footwear. I have a couple of pairs of Red Wings but the Dogleaps make them look like something you might pick up in Primark, there really is no comparison.

@Tobi I've only just got them but they are seriously comfortable too already.. fully lined with a poron insole and the tongue also has padding to it. The Kudu leather i gave them to use is also really quite soft, from how they feel already I don't envisage any real break in issues either.. they truly are stunning..

There are proper pics up of them on their Instagram account, but I can't seem to link it here. Can get there through their website easily enough though link text
