Probs ordering brown… Anyone who can tell me whether these fit TTS?.. Also: how long does it generally take for an item to be made?..

[Seul]

Asked them about how they fill out the custom form after having placed my order…

The eejit strikes again!..

[Geo]

i think those meds are a bit too strong for you . . . along with the wine et al

I imagine someone reading my mail at the Oak Street HQ  just sighing thinking "It's gonna be a looooooong day"…

Yes TTS. Went with an 11 and they are perfect! Wore them the last two days. Will post flicks whenever I get a chance…

Width?  Get them onto my plates of meat?  I'm an E in Alden (well, I'm not any more but used to be!!)

On a SUNDAY this guy takes 32 minutes to respond… AND helps me out enormeously...  ???
Can't go into specifics (Giles pointed out some tech stuff), but yeah: I'm saved 

I linked him to this thread btw - so if you read this, THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN!..

[Geo]

that pretty much seals it for me then . . .

what's the indication on delivery?

[Seul]

I forgot to inquire about that… Sunday, eejit, meds, wine... It says 6 weeks on the site so I'm gonna be patient...

I have a feeling a few of us will have a new love in our lives pretty soon!..

[Geo]

no worries - delivery is what it will be . . . eejit!

@Geo:

Took mine about 6 weeks but if you've ever ordered anything from Quoddy (same factory, I believe) you know that time can really vary.  If you hit 6 weeks and nothing is happening, just email them.

[Seul]

Cool - thanks for that nameness!..

They come in what feels like a standard D but I want to say I've seen mention of them making different widths, just email them.

I saw them for the first time on this blog a couple weeks ago. Sine then, I really want the navy pair.
However, I’m still concerned about taxes… Which could get really high.

Are you from Europe?.. Cause they will help you with that, is all I can say…...

Family, more good news… Of course he probs knows I'm posting this here but I'll let meself be abused for this Gospel 

Eli,
Awesome - I just checked out the thread.  We don't do any advertising, and we can only keep making shoes if people like you, spread the word - so thank you!

I actually just tried on some Iron heart's, but ended up going with a pair of Warehouse denim.  I do need to pick up an Iron Heart shirt though - I love how tough they are - great quality.

In terms of how long it takes - we do make the shoes to order.  However, just so you know, we are slowly building up a stock - in fact, we have a handful of sizes in stock right now.  Everyday we are making more shoes, so that we wont have the 6 week backorder.  If we don't have the size made, then it does take right around 6 weeks for us to make a pair of shoes - but we make them for you.

Also - someone mentioned that maybe we make our shoes in the Quoddy factory.  We do not.  We have our own group of craftsman making our shoes.  We're a tiny operation - we're doing things the old fashioned way - on a bench in Maine.
