Rider Boot Company

I will be in New York City at the Warwick Hotel (http://www.warwickhotelny.com/) working with clients from July 17th to July 20th.  I will be wearing a few different hats, so I encourage anyone interesting in meeting with me to send a note and we can exchange cell#’s, etc.  My suite will be set up with RiderBoot as well as Martegani shoes…current as well as make-up samples.  Obviously, I will provide custom fittings, take single pair special orders, show the new patterns I am expecting to stock for Fall, etc.  More info to come.  Please send me a note if you are interested in seeing more of Rider Boot Co.!

Here we took our Balmoral Boot and made it using Rustik Calfskin (instead of Shell Cordovan) in a nice Middle Brown:

our friends at Horween Leathers have updated their website……looks great, Nick!

Recently we made a Custom/MTO boot for a nice client of mine here in Richmond.  This was a bit of a challenge as we needed to accomodate his ‘hammertoes’.  The solution was to use a sport shoe last to give added depth…..it worked very well!

and included the new Plaintoe Boot in Un-glazed Natural Shell Cordovan!  Pretty cool…..will be updated on Franco’s e-commerce site in a day or two, and will be available for $750.00 (ps – we only have 5 pair available….9,9.5,10,10.5 and 11).   edit – first customer arrived to see the boot and took the 9 – 4 pair remaining.  11 gone also….3 pair left.

We also received a fill-in of the Whiskey Shell Cordovan RBCB1 and a couple pair of the RBCB1 in #8 Shell Cordovan (only 10.5 and 11 in this delivery).

Please contact me at the normal address!  Your fit trials are in, and I am just at a loss at this moment finding your contact info…..I don’t know what happened, but please call/mail me!

As mentioned earlier, we will be sticking with BOOTS going forward…..so, we would like to move out the current stock shoes on promotion.  I have now updated Franco’s website to reflect the current offer prices ($399.90!!!!!!) for the Handstitched Splittoe Derby and a few dollars less on the remaining loafers (are now $399.90 also).  Please check out the current stock, and let me know if I can help in any way!  The Splittoe is a great shoe…..just will not fit with where we want to go, so deals are out there!

And this boot has been a project all week……I really like where I am going with this one:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think this is way cool……at least for me!  I am thinking maybe a crepe sole……very rough uppers with Horse on the heel counter……still working…..

Been swamped since returning from Italy last week……busy editing some pictures and will be posting some new sample work I am planning for next Fall.  I am very excited about some of the things we worked on, and hope to get some good feedback when I get this blog updated during the coming week!  Sorry for the pause, but stay tuned……….
