Putting the boot in...

I can scarcely believe this but a few weeks ago I had an interesting email from one of my contacts in the UK who had managed to find the original shoemakers who made Matt Smith's Season 5 and Season 6 boots. After much to'ing and fro'ing, he managed to help me secure a sweet deal to offer you guys, for the first time, the very boots that The Doctor wears. Now, I'm going to be the first to admit, for the price these are a steal. I'm doing this not for money, (goodness knows the markup I have on these are pretty minimal - beer money at best), but I felt that it would be unfair to not make these available to a wider market. I realise that certain shysters within the cosplay community have sought to keep these a bit of a secret, unfairly so, in order rinse the huge markup they have placed on them when 'selling' this secret to their so-called friends. I have therefore decided to price these honestly and as close to cost price as I can whilst still covering my costs in order to prevent this kind of scalping.

So what about the boots? You see those above? Those are Matt's boots, brand new and fresh off the bench. Well, I can categorically state these are about as screen accurate as you can get without physically mugging Smith for his personal pair. They are handmade in the UK by the same guys who made the originals, using the same lasts, the same patterns, the same leathers and  the exact same high levels of workmanship. This is the real deal.

They are all handmade to order and shipped directly from the UK workshops. Lead time is 4-6 weeks depending on the workload from their main business of being the largest manufacturer of bespoke footwear for TV, film and theatre  in the UK. We are also the exclusive online distributor of these boots so you will not be able to purchase them at this price anywhere else.

Standard sizes are UK 6/US 7 to UK 13/ US 14 (including half sizes) and are price £325 plus postage. The full bespoke versions will run to £425 plus postage. Orders are now being taken for delivery at the beginning of February.
