            Anyone know anything about these.  Thinking of getting a pair of lace-ups made….

            Beck is known for making tough, no-frills boots for working cowboys/ranch hands.  Their primary customers are the ranchers in the Texas Panhandle region.  I don't know anyone with a pair, personally, but their reputation is good.  Prices are in line with comparable bootmakers, too.

            The sizing kit is of a style I've seen before- you should be able to get a very good custom fit.  Make sure you follow the directions carefully and add in any information you can about your feet- tendency to blister, corns, bunions, ingrown toenails, history of broken bones, etc.  The bootmakers take all of that into account when they're constructing the lasts and more information is always better.

            Hope this helps, and let me know if you need anything.

                Yeah, I figured that would show up in the impression, but it might be worth mentioning…

                    Good stuff, Giles!  Looking forward to some pics when you get them!  And out of curiosity, just how many pairs of boots/shoes do you have?

                            i think those impression sizing kits need to be a universal standard in the custom boot world…

                                Beck Lace Up Boots.  http://www.beckboots.com/Beck%20Lace-Up.htm

                                Chocolate Anvil Rough Out
                                Leather sole
                                French toe (can't remember if I went wide or regular)
                                1 5/8 in Tapered Heel

                                They have just added the option of the Forties Square Toe, which I would do next time

                                  Those are sick! May have to invest in a pair.

                                        congrats!
                                        btw. G. are you the one that decides if you guys/IH is doing a collab with an other brand (becks in this particular case!) or did you have had to ask Haraki for his ok, since he actually is the one that has to put his name on it?!
                                        also does the size of the other company matters (becks=smaller brand, only G.needed - viberg=bigger brand, H.and G.needed)?…
                                        think I already know the answer, but maybe it still would be nice to know how you guys/IH are sorting things when it comes to a collab and such!...

                                          I have not even mentioned Becks to Haraki yet.  I get the product and if I think it is good and worthy, I discuss with H.  H always has the final say, but he is happy for me to look around and find suitable companies to work with.  Basically G plays with companies he likes and then talks to H….

                                            has Becks attracted much attention from the Japanese the way Viberg and White's has?
