FS: Black boots from Dr. Footers, size 9.5, reworked by Dr. Sole

[andyone]

I am selling my Dr. Footers boots, customized by Dr. Sole

Size US 9.5

The boots were made by Dr. Footers, a "one-man-bootmaker" in Italy. Upper leather is horse leather, lined with tan calfskin. The boot is inspired by an original pattern from US navy Army 1938 - he calls this model "the mariner".

September 2021 I sent the boots to Dr. Sole in Taipei and they did:
- re-last on their Pioneer last
- re-welt
- re-sole (Dr. Sole half soles in green, edges and welt dyed black)
- speed hooks installed on the upper eyelets

At the end, only the upper part of the boots are still the old ones (although with a new shape), the whole sole part is new.

The overhaul cost was 320$ (+ 2x shipping of 60$ each).

Since the boots have been back with me, they have been worn 2x by me.
Unfortunately, the last is not ideal for my difficult feet. Since I have a high instep, the upper pushes on my instep, which is why I am selling it.

Price with shipping within EU is 520 euros.
Overseas shipping can be arranged.

I'll give some spare parts with the boots: matching rubber heel (same as used by Dr. Sole)

I would also be interested in a trade, for example White's or Nicks - or other boots in US 9.5.

Are you a D width in Whites boots?

Are you a D width in Whites boots?

I never had Whites before so I don't know. An Iron Ranger 9D fits me, if that's comparable.

It really starts to hurt now...
