Lunch was at P.F. Chang's - Delicious!
Next, we went to Loveless Custom Boots and Orthopedic store. Mel ordered 2 pairs of custom made boots - one for dress and one for work. It was very interesting and informative about how they do custom boots. In 3 - 4 months Mel should have his new boots.
Lunch
Store for custom boots
This is one of 4 racks for selection of leathers for boots.
Mr. Loveless visiting with Mel about boots
The Process:
Draw around the foot
Measure the foot
Make an impression of the foot
Record information on the impression box
Impressions of Mel's feet
Elephant skin for his work boots
Another style of elephant skin - for his dress boots
Elephant skin is the most durable of leathers for boots. We were told just to clean then, put some polish on and they will look as good as new! That's what Mel needs!
The custom boots will be featured when completed.
