silverhearted maggie Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Does anyone know where one can buy custom made boots? Or some with buckles up the side? I saw some lovlies at the Georgia Ren Faire but lost the makers business card. I'm afraid me dear mother passed on her thick calves gene to me . The boots I have now are Ok but I'm a-wantin' something a bit more dashin'. Thanks, S. H. Maggie Long Live the crew of the CrimsonPermanent Assurance!

Hunting Hawk Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I usually make me own boots, or rather remake me own. Find yerself a pair o' boots ye like, at least the shoe part an' change the tops. I find that a pair o' "Dingo's" with the square toes are adaptable fer most time periods. All ye need do is carefully cut the threads to remove the tops, use the old tops fer a patern. Make sure ye have leather large enough to make them as tall as ye need. Sewin' leather isn't much harder than fabric. You might want to buy an "Awl for all" (now available at Walmart), they make a good locking stitch. Doin' it this way ye can make any pair o' boots ye wan't at about a tenth of the price ye can buy them for. I think, therefor I am. Or maybe I just think I am.

silverhearted maggie Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 Hunting Hawk, thanks for the advice. Thanks kinda what I have done in the past...They turned out OK but are getting a bit worn out as I can detach the top and use them for everyday boots. Harbour Master, Thanks for your link as well. The problem isn't shoe size but leg circumference. I have pretty but plump legs and that's the problem. Thanks for the link, though. I must say I am impressed by the speed and amount of help one gets from the pyratical community here!!! Thanks again and here's to ya!
