Dear Cecil,
Please look at what happened to the sole of the boot you sent me. It was dry and just broke. I'm glad I found a craftsman here who replaced the sole with this one - see the photo of how broken it was. In the other picture, how it turned out! Finding an old-fashioned German shoemaker took a bit of work, but I found one of them. No problem. I'm waiting for my new order!
All the best,
Carlos
These are the best walking shoes I’ve ever had. I thought they might be a bit large since I normally wear 9.5/10, but the 11 is just great. No break in necessary and I walk about 2.5 miles a day in them!
Footskins "Herd Wear" Bison Leather Walking boots. B 4540
I got what I think is the best service I have ever gotten from an e-shopping site. And, now I have really great boots
Bill: Great customers deserved good service ... and thank you for taking time to report in. Glad the re-soling is up to your expectations. Footskins are just excellent at both moccasin construction and taking care of business. And if you need another re-soling in a few years, I'll bet we can get that done, too.
Best wishes always
Cecil
The uppers are great. Supple comfortable leather. Well made. The soles are some hard plastic stuff that is slippery on hard surfaces and has no give. Very hard for me to wear.
They are great. I have not experienced a leather as supple and resilient as this. I have not had a chance to wear them extensively as of yet, but on initial. Inspection they feel great. Quality is solid,and I appreciate an American-made product. Thank you for making these.
I ordered my Chukka Boots and have been very pleased. They are light weight and very comfortable. Like wearing a house shoe but rugged enough for most any situation. Soft buffalo leather and solid sole is mixes comfort with utility. Highly recommend this boot!!
Are these true to size? I wear a 11.5 normally. I’m thinking if these are like normal leather boots getting an 11 and having them stretch to my foot is the best bet. Thoughts?
Travis: Good morning.
Excellent question. Keep in mind these are true moccasins; no "shank" between the sole and the insole. The two layers of bison leather will "shape" to the foot, but not stretch in length. They also come in whole sizes. I wear a 9.5 in most all shoes and boots. I wear a 10 in these (have two pair and eyeing a third). The 10 was perfect from day one ... and now, roughly 3 years afterwards, they are like old friends. I wear one pair or the other at least 5 days a week ... and I am pretty hard on footwear. I have had both pair re-soled (yes, Footskins will do that).
So, I would suggest a 12 for you. Looks like (if the inventory is current) we have all 4 colors in stock.... and can do custom color combinations if that is your preference.
Hope all this helped; they really are great footwear.
Best wishes
Cecil
