    Yeah, sorry, by 'synthetic', I just meant 'human-made'. Cactus leather would be phenomenal if I could find it. And, yes, I'm going to have to accept the downgrade in quality to align with my vegan perspective. I will say, though, I can usually get a few years out of daily usage of vegan Doc Martens before the leather-esque surface starts to show meaningful damage, so I'm not super worried about decent quality faux leather boots holding up relatively well, since I won't be wearing them anywhere near daily.

    Any faux leather boots in the correct style without zipper will do just fine then. But as costumized, don't know if it's easy to find. Cactus leather as pointed out is a good option too. Hope you find what you are looking for.

    @kman With what you said, I will go head and hold on to them and continue to look for some one you can help modify them down the road, they are really nice boots that and the price was about the same as the Hessen Antiques brand, and I have grown attached to them lol,


    I want to take a moment to thank you and all the other people who have helped me out with this endeavor of mine; your advice and info have been excellent. Hopefully, I can apply soon in a couple of months and start having fun with you guys and gals.

    I contacted Wehrmacht for Black Friday, but it seems I am blessed with wide foot, large calf, and short leg… (boot is too high).

     

    Looks like I need a custom boot, ugh.  Does Hessen do custom?  (Does Hessen source boots from Wehrmacht (?))


    is Crowprops better now than the tales of old?  I asked about no zippers and they referred me to their page with the model having hidden zippers…

     

    Where is best nowadays for people that need a custom boot?

     

    I might look for a local leatherworker, otherwise…

     

    Try Mux leather, if not, then yeah try a local leatherworker 

  4. I still recommend DN just like Danny. I truly do. Yes the price is a bit stiff. Its not a debate, its truly been an increase in prices. But the quality is wonderful.

    But what about Magnoli? MazCave has good options and payment solutions worth considering. But Cossky is a decent option.

    Not my best picture. But damn DN was wonderful, but yes a bit large for me. But it was one of the better otions.

     

    I hope whatever solutions you find will solve your problem and give you the satisfactions you need.
