Yes I don't understand why people would pay that kind of money when you could have lovely boots made for you that would fit perfectly - especially taller boots where fit around the calves and knees comes into play.
I had my boots made by Jean Gaborit, in France.
I completely understand. If I owned a pair like these, they'd never be off my feet, unless I was bathing or under the shower.
Sadly, no longer available, which is just as well at £1100 a pair.
