Get ready for autumn style with made to measure boots!

Even though I’m writing this smack bang in the middle of the school holidays, and as we welcome the return of sunnier weather after a cool and rainy spell, my mind is turning to autumn style. We’re only weeks away from those first autumnal days now and the leaves starting to change. There has been a distinct chill to the air recently which hints at the shift in the seasons soon to come.

While I love all the seasons, including long, lazy summer days and balmy evenings spent alfresco, autumn is very special. There’s something magical about walking the dogs as the early morning mist and dew burns off to reveal blue skies and glorious fall colours. At the other end of the day the drawing of the evenings can be an excuse to totally relax; lighting a scented candle and curling up on the sofa to read or indulge in easy-to-watch TV. 

Autumn fashion is on the horizon

The changing of the seasons means changing fashions too. Floaty dresses and light linens get washed and packed away and we unfold cashmere and wool sweaters to check if the moths stayed away during the summer months. That also means the return of autumn footwear and it won’t surprise you to hear that makes me very happy indeed. It means long boots are back! As the name suggests, helping my customers find their perfect pair of boots is my mission.

In the past 10 years, knee-length Spanish-style boots have become an iconic element of country and equestrian style, being sported by stylish women of all ages and pairing beautifully with jeans, skirts and dresses. They are comfortable, versatile and with the right TLC will last for years. It’s no wonder they’ve become so popular and in demand. 

A stressful struggle

But I know that, for some women, buying boots can be a stressful and disappointing experience. Some of my customers come to me because they want to make sure that if they invest several hundred pounds in a pair of beautiful suede boots, they want them to fit like a glove. Even just a slightly too tight or loose boot just won’t cut it. Some women come to me because they can’t make an off the shelf pair of boots work at all. We’re all different and some have legs which are shorter, longer, bigger or thinner than the ‘normal’ size. Other people have one foot larger than the other or even one leg longer than the other. Whatever your shape or size, you certainly shouldn’t have to go without!
