Does anybody have any horror stories, or tales of disappointment with custom boots?
Last year, I decided to order a pair of custom boots from Nick's. After getting the measurements and foot tracings taken care of, life happened. The order was never placed, and I fell back on my not-so-comfortable military issue boots (I have sooooo many pairs of steel-toe boots, combat boots, and flyers' boots to wear out, it's not funny...).
Now, I'm ready to order again, but wanted to see if there was 'another side' to all the fantastic reviews people give custom boots.
If anyone was wondering, I'm planning on ordering something from Russell's Moccasins, this time. I'm undecided as to whether I should go with a straight hunting boot, or build a compromise boot in a dual-purpose hunter/stalker, though.
