Boots & orders — quick answers
Handmade in Monemvasia, Greece. If it’s not here, ask us in chat
-
Measure foot length & width in cm. Leather molds in the first weeks — start snug, not tight.
-
Expect a few millimeters across the width as the leather molds to you. Length doesn’t grow. That’s why we aim for a close initial fit.
-
Most people feel the boots “disappear” after 3–10 wears. Wear for a few hours at a time, alternate days, and use mid-weight socks. A tiny pinch at first is OK; true pain means the size is off
-
We do — a small family workshop in Monemvasia, Greece. We cut, stitch, and finish each pair ourselves, then pack and ship from the workshop.
-
Full-grain and Top-grain cowhide from reputable Greek tanneries. We hand-select hides, so natural marks and grain variation are part of the character. Expect a rich patina with wear. -
They’re naturally water-resistant, not rubber wellies. Brush off dust, apply a light conditioner or wax occasionally, and you’re set for everyday rain. If soaked, stuff with paper and air-dry — no radiators or hairdryers.
-
Yes — small custom changes (eyelets/hooks color, contrast stitching, laces, leather shade) are usually possible before we cut. Tell us what you have in mind in chat; we’ll confirm feasibility and cost.
-
Often yes. Tell us the date and your size; we’ll confirm what’s realistic and prioritize your order if we can.
-
Typical build time is 3–7 days, then shipping.
-
Yes — tracked worldwide shipping from Greece. EU orders include VAT. Estimated transit times: EU 2–6 business days; US/UK 5–9 business days; elsewhere varies. We’ll send tracking as soon as your pair leaves the bench.
-

-
Gladly. Leave your note at checkout or send it via chat; we can exclude pricing in the parcel.
-
Brush after wear.
Every 4–8 weeks (or when the leather looks dry), wipe clean and apply a light conditioner; buff after 10 minutes.
If wet, air-dry with paper inside — keep away from heat.
Use shoe trees if you have them; they help shape and odor. -
Yes — good leather develops a deeper tone and patina where it flexes and catches light. It’s the best part of owning them.
