I have owned several pairs of Hayway shoes myself back in my TV days and I cannot fault their service, workmanship and value for money. They will not do leather because you have to buy a whole skin at around £70-80 (more if it's just one skin) and after making a pair of knee boots you will have a third of it left. To make a pair of thigh boots takes a skin and a half so to make one pair would be a waste. With man made materials you cut whatever you want off the roll and you can cut it any way up without worrying about the direction of stretch. |
