mikeheel Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I need some help regarding where to go to browse and try on thigh-high boots in the south UK. My partner and I have decided the time has come for us both to have properly made spikey boots with 6 inch heels. I know this will be expensive and we don't want to order online and mess about trying guess sizes or find the quality is poor. Many thanks for any tips in this regard. M You won't get me wearing flat shoes...I really can't do it.
LukeVibertUK Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 First question is where in the south? Which bit of the UK? This company is based in Sidmouth Devon, however I am unsure if they accept customer visits. http://www.sky-scrapers.com I've used someone in London who has made a number of custom shoes for my girlfriend, she has wide feet and struggles to find nice, good quality shoes. We are very happy with the quality very very comfy and service is excellent. They do obviously come at a price - start at £300 for shoes and approx £500 for boots, that is unfortunatly the going rate for "proper" custom shoes/ boots. Why not try getting a pair online, it wont be the first time I am sure that someone has ordered the wrong size boots.

mikeheel Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Thanks for the tips. Anywhere in the South UK is fine inc. London. We used to go to Peachy in Bristol. There must be a shop with a stock to try out somewhere? M You won't get me wearing flat shoes...I really can't do it.
