Thank you for the beautiful knee high leather moccasins that you hand crafted and designed for me to match my "Zena" theme outfit.

They are an awesome, incredible fit and have a wonderful look with the outfit. I have enjoyed wearing these boots and thank you for the quality and workmanship that you have put into their construction.

Truly, you offer a special gift to the public as a family-heirloom of original creation for custom-fit quality, moccasin craftsmanship. I look forward to ordering from you again soon.

When I was 16 years old I went to Pennsic for the first (and so far only) time, accompanied by my Dad. I was smitten by your wares, but as a sixteen year old I did not have the cash to swing the boots. My dad, observing the quality and talking with Atrayew, was so impressed by the work that he encouraged me to invest in a pair and fronted me the deposit.

16 years later, these boots are still in my regular rotation. In fall and spring I wear them about every other day, and often over the summer and winter. I've had them resoled once. I get so many compliments on them, but the highest compliment is from my feet, which are strengthened from being able to have a full toe-spread and natural, not-excessively-padded sole. In these boots, I use my foot muscles to walk and support my body, not rubber and foam!

18 months ago I lost my Dad very suddenly. These boots, always favorites, are even more special to me now. Whenever I wear them, they remind me of the wisdom of my dad all those years ago in recognizing craftsmanship of the highest degree; they remind me of the value of a job well done, a life well-lived.

Thanks for being a part of my life through your excellent work. Now that I've found you again, I can't wait to finish my degree, get a job, and invest in another pair to mark my passage into a new stage of life.

I love my boots. My feet love my boots. For the first time since forever I am not aware of my feet because my feet are not in pain. Life is better, Work is better, my family and love life is better because I am not in constant pain. And not only am I not in pain, they look fantastic!! Totally, absolutely worth the cost. Thank you, thank you!!!

I received my moccasins a few weeks ago and I just have to say the moccasins are better then I could have dreamed of. Next year when you are at the Castle of Muskogee, I think you will have some new customers. These are, by far, the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned.

Dude more boots!
I need another pair of winter weight soft house shoed that won't slip. We won't buy anything else!.
I tell you, these have made a huge difference in my walking. The summer weight boots have the right thickness for me to feel the difference in terrain, which has made my failing sight a lot less frightening. My muscular dystrophy has given me a lot less grief since I started wearing them almost 24x7. My feet don't swell anymore, my knees don't hurt nearly as much as they did before the boots. My husband doesn't want to see me without your footwear for the rest of my walking life.

My Turtle Island boots are wonderful and exactly what I was looking for. They hardly need any stretching at all. Just a little snug on the tops of the toes, but after one day of wear they are comfortable.

I just wanted to let you know how much I love the moccasins you made for me. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Also, I've had people stop me on the street and tell me how nice they are. Thanks so much!

I’ve literally searched for years for a pair of shoes or sandals that fit me properly. I have size 13, very wide, flat feet. Nearly everything I try on, even at expensive shoe shops, is too narrow and/or has arch supports that hurt my feet. Usually I end up buying cheap-o shoes at Wal-Mart or Dunham’s Sports because the cheaper shoes at least have lots of extra room and no support whatsoever.

However, at Pennsic this year, I found a shoemaker who builds custom-fitted leather boots, moccasins, sandals, etc. A bit pricey ($225), but they are hand-made, and fit my feet exactly, so they’re well worth it.

I picked the design right out of their “sample” photos. I could have chosen different colors or designs, but I thought the red-on-black-with-Cross-Pattée design was catchy! I ordered them and had my feet measured on Tuesday. Richard, the guy who makes the shoes, is a “second generation custom shoe, boot and moccasin maker. He really knows what he’s doing. He had me stand up on a pedestal and took outlines of my feet. They were ready by Saturday. I was walking back to camp with some friends right after I picked them up, and I remarked that they were more comfortable than any sandals I’d ever worn before.

I highly recommend them if you want a well-crafted, good fitting pair of anything. Especially for people who have weird feet, like me!

I adore my boots! I'm on my feet most of the day for work and they are the only pair of shoes that help me survive the day. With other shoes, my feet & ankles, and some days a hip joint, would just ache so bad they would still be hurting the next day. I feel stable & supported all day and that a wrong step won't happen; and no more twisted ankles! It still feels good coming home at night & taking them off, but me & my feet feel ready to face the next morning when I get up!
