You’ve had a pair made by him / them?
How was your experience?

@Bums_Fan Would love to hear a bit more about these. Proper handwelted etc. from what I can see.

@JunkPants the boots are Heritage Boot Co. out of Austin, TX. Their boots are fully handmade, bespoke-styled boots in small runs - lemonwood pegs, hand-carved heel counters and toe boxes, etc. Heritage Boot Co. works with boot makers in Leone, Mexico to produce their boots. They are not inexpensive and some criticize the price point for this fact and claim they are overpriced. From what I can tell, the quality of construction and materials live up to a higher price point. I want to believe that the revenues make their way to the artisans creating these boots in a meaningful way, but I simply don't know if they do. I also don't live under a rock and acknowledge that outsourcing this way may be a means for this company to increase margins.

little update after 3 weeks .
they starting to mould awesome
pretty unique how they evolve. first week they feel great to wear, than second week they feel a little strange as if they are too small and than in the third week they start to fit like a glove . neglecting my other boots cause they are so awesome to wear

@Bums_Fan Thanks for the information. Very cool boots. These old school construction methods are very time consuming compared to machine based (mass production) techniques like goodyear welt etc. If you ask me the prices seem very fair. Bespoke boots/shoes made with these techniques in the US/UK typically cost in the thousands, not in the hundreds.
(I was getting into boot-/shoemaking as an extension of my leatherwork hobby before I recently decided to go back to school. Too busy these days, but hope to get back to it some day)
