I'd bet they would add more style options if they really took off as a company. If I hadn't already gotten some pricey boots this year, I would try it. I like how they measure both the calf width and the top-of-boot width! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poppy-barley-custom-fit-boots-canadians-take-note#post-1089419 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 21:02:16 +0000 Glory 1089419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow great find. They are pricey but for custom fit, not mass produced I think could be well worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poppy-barley-custom-fit-boots-canadians-take-note#post-1089387 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 20:38:55 +0000 Thistle 1089387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting concept! Yeah, a bit pricey, but if you are hard tofit, it would be worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poppy-barley-custom-fit-boots-canadians-take-note#post-1089379 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 20:35:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1089379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've roamed around their site before too. I wish they had a few more options but maybe that isn't possible based on the custom fit aspect. However, if you got a pair of black boots that fit you PERFECTLY and are oh so comfy, that's pretty fabulous in my book. But yeah...a bit pricey for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poppy-barley-custom-fit-boots-canadians-take-note#post-1089355 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 20:21:41 +0000 Sarah A 1089355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks intriguing! Thanks for linking... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poppy-barley-custom-fit-boots-canadians-take-note#post-1089349 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 20:17:58 +0000 Suz 1089349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh - I stumbled across this a while ago. I think I posted it within somebody's thread so it must have got lost (or maybe I did not post after all...) Anyway -- I have no experience but I was intrigued. The styling isn't quite what I was looking for personally. And I didn't realize they were a Canadian company. Aha, the plot thickens!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Pricey is right, however. Still....if it works.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poppy-barley-custom-fit-boots-canadians-take-note#post-1089339 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 20:08:33 +0000 Diana 1089339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://poppybarley.com/" rel="nofollow">http://poppybarley.com/</a></p> <p>Just saw a link to this on another site.&nbsp; Very intrigued.&nbsp; Could this be the answer to my boot fit problems?&nbsp; Apparently they custom fit the boots based on a variety of measurements, including the ankle!&nbsp; (And Canadian fabbers - this is a Canadian company!!!!)</p> <p><a href="http://poppybarley.com/concierge/meaurements/" rel="nofollow">http://poppybarley.com/concierge/meaurements/</a></p> <p>They are pricey though.&nbsp; Has anyone had any experience with this company?</p> <p>ETA: Their base styles are still pretty limited though.&nbsp; I'm not sure any of them is exactly what I am looking for (for one thing they don't seem to offer gold zips, although there is one with gold studs).</p>
