Unfortunately you can't customize things like shaft height or calf width, but they do have two different heel heights, foot widths, and a whole boatload of different leathers to choose from.

Thanks for the link. I tried these on (the OTK version) and my boyfriend just shook his head "no" -- I was wearing grey skinnies. I think he thought the look highly unsuitable. So now I am looking for knee high boots, and the 50/50 is on my list but I want it with the 1.75" heel. I had no idea these were 20 years old! Now that's a classic you can buy with confidence.

I tried to ignore this ad the first time I saw it. Now you have forced me to look at it. I don't think I can live without a pair of burgundy boots. I didn't know this until about 20 minutes ago.

Sanity returns. I tried on my nearly unworn black SW boots from last year. I love SW, but I have extremely skinny ankles and small calves, and long feet. The boots collapse a bit around the ankles, still gap at the calves, and my feet look extraordinarily long in this type of footwear. Wow--Just saved $600++!

MsMaven, I have to admit, I laughed when I read "I don't think I can live without a pair of burgundy boots. I didn't know this until about 20 minutes ago."

Thank you!

These aren't for team wear it now! They take 10 weeks to arrive.

Hm, I love the idea, but the options seem kind of limited for a 10-week wait, and I think some of the combos came out as regular releases, no? So what's the point of them being custom? A black pony hair would have been cool, though.

Ooh, I would love that slightly higher heel.

My SWs are a half size big on me. I mitigate it by wearing thick socks, but the ankle is quite loose. Makes me wonder if I should sell the ones I have and put the money towards a new pair in my proper size with the heel height I like. Does that sound crazy?
