I usually have something made each year by French Leather, and this trip it was having my daughter's boots copied in my size and colour choice.These were to take 4 days to make, and luckily I ordered them early on in my holiday.
Unfortunately, the first pair were made too short, as the bootmaker adjusted the length of them by 2.5cms shorter(unrequested), as well as the requested 2cms less width as I didn't want them as baggy as the original pair!
Ivan(shop manager and Mat's righthand man!)promptly ordered a second pair for me, and they arrived very quickly(2-3 days) and were exactly right. These boots are well made, slightly ruched with a very small heel & metal studs, and in dark grey leather with anti-sweat lining, & cost me $AUD70.
As with everything made to order in Bali, one needs to be very precise with their directions/measurements, and if you have a sample to copy, all the better!(well, usually).
