from 26 reviewsFirst impressions, really happy with my boots. The service from By the Mountain was excellent. The boots were so comfortable right out of the box and look fantastic. For some reason, I thought the sole would be the weakest part but it seems really sturdy and supportive, with a grip that will be fine in any weather other than really icy. Delighted with my purchase, thanks a lot!
Nicely manufactured, very well looking. Thank you :)
This is my first pair of handmade footwear and i'm very impressed with the overall fit and the quality of the boot.
There was some delay due to supply issues but it was worth the wait
And iam allredy thinking of buying a pair of chealse boots from the shop
Pros: Definitely hand made, feels premium, quality is fantastic, they look very nice, very comfortable, genuine Goodyear stitching, durable, fashionable but still practical, excellent price, vegan friendly, have a nice weight to them, soft texture, natural color goes with everything
Cons: They are hand made so expect minor imperfections (not a big deal), I had to hammer some sole nails in, Some stich fraying, shipping may take a month or so
Overall: Great quality boots, I really like them and will absolutely buy from again, highly recommend By The Mountain, they look great with everything casual and formal and the natural wood color looks luxurious. I wear casual and even dressed up at work. Goes so well with everything. 🤌 Bonus points for vegan friendly boots
I bought mine from a Shop on Midwest USA.
Extremely comfortable, quality stitching, Beautiful leather with great pullup. Much dressier than my other boots.
Time will tell, but I am very pleased. These boots punch up and contend with much more expensive brands.
Great boots with a true handmade feel.
Very impressed with the final product and build quality .
Confortable boots built with good quality materials, highly recommend
They fit well, look great, and are robust and comfortable.
Pleased with the service and communication.
Fast delivery. Great communication. Do not hesitate to contact the seller who gives good advice for size and colour.
The boots are beautiful and fit well: I usually wear 37,5 (European size), and I choose 38 to wear them with thick organic wool socks. It is perfect. They are super comfortable. The leather is robust. And I love their design. These boots have become my everyday shoes.
In short, a perfect transaction for great shoes.
Thank you !
Très agréables à porter, très confortables et très belles. Reçues rapidement malgré la période des fêtes, la fermeture de la frontière, et COVID!
Seller responded quickly to my questions. Boots were packaged well. Great quality of material and craftsmanship. I've no hesitation for future orders.
Sehr schön verarbeitete Boots. Sehr bequem. Schneller Versand und sehr schnelle Rückmeldung und Hilfestellung bei der Auswahl der Schuhgröße.
Vielen Dank!
Jederzeit gerne wieder.
I can scarcely believe the quality of these boots. I'm looking forward to some really bad weather to give them a proper try out. I've worn them in the wet for a long walk and they are supremely comfortable. I highly recommend them
