"I'm giving away all my Orvis/Gokey boots, can't compare to yours which are the genuine article. I have been wearing my Special Order 12" Highland Lace-ups all day, they sure do fit well and are very comfortable." See the boots
...Donald Woodson, Valley Center, California

"I wore the Highland boots today and they fit perfectly. I haven't owned a pair of field boots so fine since I received my first pair of Gokeys 30 years ago. I will enjoy wearing them and each time think of the skill and dedication required to make them. You can be justifiably proud of your boots."
...Lance Hungerford, Tampa, Florida

"I got my boots today and they are absolutely beautiful. At first blush they also seem to fit perfectly. Thank you very much for your wonderful work!"
...Ed Kreps, New York, New York

"Five pairs of MacRostie Leathers Shoes and 17 years of wear, I love them! I first met you at the Art Fair on the Square in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1991. Since getting MacRostie Leather shoes, I wear no other. My feet and I thank you! Stay warm this winter and thanks for the great shoes!"
...Jim Keene, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin

"Thanks so much for the magical, wonderful shoes!"
...Mike Rivard, Minneapolis, Minnesota

"The boots came today and they fit perfectly. It is amazing how important that wiggle room in an exact measurement helps; it was just enough to keep my feet comfortable when I took a six-hour hike over rocky terrain. Thanks again!"
...Steve Taylor, Denton, Texas

"Since wearing the MacRostie shoes, I can wear no other. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned, and I am 83 years old....I'm pleased to note your continuing success and congratulate you and your husband for producing such a quality product."
...Bernard R. Gold, New Rochelle, New York

"Thanks so much for the great shoes (oxfords) and the repair. I expect I'll be calling again for re-soling in six years! I've worn these shoes pretty much 7 days a week since I purchased them."
...Chip Jacobs, Duluth, Minnesota

...Bill Fuller, Gardena, California

"It was almost shocking when I first put on my new mocs yesterday. They fit my feet so well... like they were hand-made or something. Hah. Within the half-hour, they had already formed to my toes and the ball of my foot, and by later in the evening I had the sensation that I wasn't wearing shoes at all, but rather a new layer of skin. Gotta love'em!"
...Clyde Willis, Jacksonville, Florida

"My boots, shoes and bag are some of my most treasured possessions. If only everything were as thoughtfully designed, beautifully crafted and tirelessly useful."

...Satbir Bedi, Earth

"Dear Elves,
Believe it or not, I can't find your mailing address. My Town and Country boots are taped in a box. I miss them, already. I may take them out for the day. I know that they need your attention. I am so lucky, as they are, to have you!"
...Jimmy Ibbotson (Ibby), Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Woody Creek, Colorado

"Hi Elaine, The boots (Highland Handmade Pull-on) have arrived! They are everything that you said they would be, a real work of art — it almost doesn't seem right to wear them. The fit is very comfortable — my toes thank you — I have more of a paw than a foot. The workman(workwoman)ship is certainly beyond anything that can be bought elsewhere! I shall treasure these boots always. A customer for life!"
...Greg Schulte, Staten Island, New York

"The boots (Highland Handmade Lace-up) are unbelievably comfortable. My feet just melt into them and I don't want to take them off!

Thanks for making it possible."
...Stephen Felker, Monroe, Georgia

"The boots and moccasins fit perfectly and are beautifully made. I have never had so comfortable shoes. You are a treasure and I look forward to the next order arriving at the end of the year. Thanks for your excellent service and craftsmanship. I'm so glad I found you on the internet."
...Tom Baugh, Roanoke, Virginia

"Shoes arrived today and they're absolutely stunning - rugged (as expected) but still visually distinctive, stylish (almost in a l9th century vintage sort of way). I love all the personalizing details of your products, website and business (personalized emails and notes written on your telltale legal lined paper). Even the year long wait is a bit of a novelty in this on demand retail world. You guys really are something special and I do feel lucky to have found you (on the impersonal internet, of all places!)."
...Lesli Larson, Eugene, Oregon

"I know you've heard it before, but I just have to say they are the very best shoes I have ever had in my life!"

"I received my [repaired dog-chewed Town & Country] shoes this morning. Oh How Pretty They Are!! They are my No.1 riding shoes/boots, hold a spur perfectly in place, and I can walk away from a horse in the best of comfort. You can add that to the description of these shoes!!"
...Jennifer S., Lafayette, Colorado

The moccasins are beautiful, definitely fit for a princess or queen! The workmanship is beautiful; you must be very proud of your unique work. I have been looking for double-soled moccasins for so long....and I found you through BMW motorcycles - the rally in West Virginia that you didn't come to!"
...Sydney B., Sarasota, Florida

"What a wonderful surprise to open the box and find the (Gokey*) boots looking and feeling better than ever. Lyle did a wonderful job, they now fit and are more than comfortable. You have indeed learned your craft. I'm filing your letter and address away so after I've worn them for another 25 years I can and will pass them along. Thanks again...and good luck."
...Daniel F., Fort Thomas, KY

...Randi S., New York, New York

"I recently discovered your website and found it a true joy. As a wearer of Gokeys for many years, I found it difficult to contain my excitement at finding that, at this day and age, a business such as yours still exists. I wish to order two pairs from you..."
...Greg S., New York City

Golly, the boots are wonderful and you even did all those extra things. I am the happy fellow here. They look great and feel perfect. The buckles are just perfect, too. What a pleasure!

On Peter's behalf, thanks again! The shoes fit like gloves!
...Marilyn M., Lindsay, Ontario, Canada

Hey guys, I just wanted to say hi from a cafe in a little town of Glenorchy on the south island here in New Zealand. The boots have been on my feet since I received them. I've greased them up several times now and they haven't leaked a drop in all the rain we've ridin (motorcycle/beemer) in.
...Brian B., Philomath, Oregon

Yea...just picked up the boots and they fit great! It's a beautiful day here in New York so I think I'm gonna go take a ride (motorcycle/beemer) and see how they go... Thanks again very much. They are beautiful and well worth the wait!
...Jan R/G., New Paltz, New York

Incredible fast turn around! And what a beautiful job. With the new soles and whatever you did to rehabilitate the uppers, they are like new. Many, many thanks!
...Abe Katz, New York, New York

My boots came in last week and "wow!" what a great fit! Thank you so much for the work you do. There's an art to your craft and the time and attention-to-detail are so evident in the final product.

Imelda wouldn't have needed 3000 pairs if she came to you first...Thanks for the great shoes!
...Steve B., Cape Elizabeth, Maine
