What is a custom Fit Boot?
What is the difference between a "Custom Fit" Boot and a "Custom Parts/Build" Boot?
This is a question we often receive.
Custom Fit - Boots built on a last that are specific for your exact foot measurements.
Custom Parts/Build - Boots built from specific pieces of leather (colors, weights, height, etc.) often built on a last that might be close to the shape of a customers feet.
What do we do at Peter Limmer & Sons?
For over 100 years, we have built "Custom Fit" Boots
- Take your specific foot measurements
- Build a custom last to replicate your foot.
- Build a pair of custom boots to accommodate your specific foot length, volume, width, etc.
What is a custom parts/Build boot?
Other companies offer a "Custom Boot." These boots are often constructed from materials that the customer selects. They can be built on a last that might be close to your foot shape and volume, but they are not "Custom Fit" to the customer's specific measurements.
