Renboots for quality, affordable period boots

What do our many customers have to say?-Here are just a very few--

Hi Doug

It was great meeting you. As Travis said this last weekend at the Florida Ren-Fest here in Broward County, I am the poster child for Renboots, at least around here. My wife and I attended the Festival nine of the eleven days. Every time I was in your tent people thought I worked there. We have been dressing four years now and about 95% of our leather is from Renboots. The "damage" this year is a baldric(to add to my other two from you), two tankard holders, a belt, a pistol, my wonderful Jolly Roger boots, two pairs of gloves, my new three corner hat(blue and gold trim), and a new color scheme for my Musketeer hat that I got from you two years ago. With new plumes and a hat band, this is the third color change for that hat.Your products are wearable, comfortable, well made and look great. The other reason for this letter is about Travis and Alison. They were by far the nicest and kindest people we met working at the ren-fest, and met quite a lot. They were honest, helpful, and knowledgeable about your products. I never felt like they were trying to sell me something I didn't want, need, or wasn't right for my look. I enjoyed just going in and talking to them. They worked hard and did a great job.

In closing love your products as well as Travis and Alison. I have attached a few photos.

Sincerely

I ordered my boots 2 days ago, and bam!!! They are already here!!!

Wow! Boots are great! (the Edward) You’ll without a doubt want to wear period socks with these boots. Tube socks were too thick. I am really pleased with the uppers,

They are big enough for my stout legs! Worth every penny!

My husband’s Edward Knee Boots arrived today and they surpass our expectations. Your delivery service was wonderful, and expediting our order so that he could have his boots for our daughter’s February wedding was much appreciated.

Although these boots are listed under “costume” boots, they are anything but what I would have expected of a costume. The leather is wonderful and soft, the boots are light weight and nicely shaped. Your directions to order them 1 size larger was exactly right on and my husband is now looking forward to wearing them on the day. He has difficulties finding footwear that is comfortable and doesn’t pinch his feet. These boots are going to make his day a pleasant one, and I should be able to expect him to be on his feet late into the night on the dance floor. Thanks again.

Hello, just wanted to let you know I recieved the hat and it was everything I expected and more. It is a totally awesome hat and I am more than pleased with it. As soon as I get my foot sized I will be ordering some pirate boots, so I expect to hopefully do this sometime later today or early tomorrow. Thank you for your prompt responses and help, cheers! :).

Hey, my name is Rachel H. and we spoke last week about the baldric and pistol. I just wanted to thank you soooo much for the wonderful items! My husband is going to freak out when he receives them. They are such great quality and beautifully fashioned. I will certainly be returning to your site for our future Ren Faire costume needs. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Plus, you were both so understanding and helpful with me on my order :-)Thanks~

Hi Doug

The parcel finally arrived today! Too late for what i'd intended it for but it will most definitely be worn another day..and another..and another!

Thank you so very much for being so prompt at your end, its just a shame that once it left the USA that it was treated to such indifference!

The guns and baldric are wonderful and the boots are simply stunning, i should have expected as much. The quality and fit of the leather is wonderful, i've rarely worn something so immediately comfortable. I wish we had leather products of such high quality over here!

I look forward very much to doing business with you again and cannot rate you highly enough.

I'd like to thank you personally once again for all your help, you are a true gentleman.

Yours most sincerely,

Hello Renboots,

Just a quick note to say that I received my Ghillie Boots today. They were surprisingly soft and supple. I put a pair if Superfeet orthotic innersoles and they were super comfy.

I'm wearing them to my wedding in Scotland with my newly made kilt. The delivery was swift and the product almost perfect. Fine tuning them with the innersoles really did the trick. I look forward to wearing these boots in the future.

Sincerely,

Doug,

Just wanted to let you know I received my hat today and it looks GREAT.

Thanks so much for keeping me posted and for shipping so quickly! Now I just have to convince the rest of my pirate crew that they need hats as well!

Yes you helped me quite a bit. I ordered the Strider Buckle and they fit great. I came into your TRF (Texas Renaissance Festival) shop a few weeks ago to have the straps tightened and now they are perfect. In fact I believe I spoke to you on the Sunday of my trip about putting in a sheath for a boot knife (which I have yet to find the "right" one) and about my friend "Big" Randy L.
My wife tried on a pair of the Strider Buckle and the Guinevere and we both liked the latter and are going to order a pair for the next ren season. I have also been pointing everyone I know to your shop for a pair of boots.
The service I have received and the quality of your boots will keep me coming back to you for any period boots I need, and as an actor, there is a good chance I will get another pair.
Again, thank you for returning my email and the great service I have received.

Thank you,

I have received the boots and hat and I must say I am both pleased and impressed. You put out a quality product at a fair price. You are a craftsmen. It is a pleasure to do business with you.
Thanks again.

Hi Doug-

I wanted to let you know I received my new boots (Lancelot) as scheduled
Wednesday, and as you predicated the size 10 for that model was plenty big
enough for me. The boots are beautiful and comfortable and I look forward to
putting them into service immediately this weekend.

Thanks again for your outstanding follow-through and customer service, it's really been a godsend.

Best regards,

Well, its Tuesday July 19. We bought the boots on Saturday July 16th and Trish loves em! They are the most comfortable boots she has ever worn, she says. We purchased them Saturday morning (at Silverleaf Ren Faire) and she wore them all day Saturday and all day Sunday. Thanks again for the great service the gentleman and lady at your booth gave us. Have a great faire season!!

I wanted to let you know that I received my new boots on Friday, in time for the faire. They’re beautiful and fit great. I had a lot of compliments and people were asking me where I got them. Thank you again. I have very large legs and was surprised at how easy it was to get a quality custom fit boot. I was also especially pleased with how quickly you were able to get them done. I didn’t expect to have them so soon. Thank you again. I will definitely recommend you to the rest of the crew.

SUCCESS! I was able to get the Barbossa boots on. Still a struggle but the split up the back enabled me to put a long shoe horn in to help my heel, also I bought some ladies knee high nylons and they work great. Thanks for working with me. I really love the boots and am looking forward to all the fun I'll have wearing them during the many parades I'm in. I don't know if I told you or not but I am a Shrine Clown. I started having a reaction to the grease paint on my face and my doctor told me I could not put it on anymore but I loved clowning to much to quit so I switched to a pirate character and am able to use womens cosmetics to make up with no reaction. I get a few weird looks in the cosmetic aisles but other than that it's working great. Thanks again for your help. I'm really proud of these boots. I'll wear them with pride and share with anyone who ask your address. See you later.

Mr. Dealy,

I know I just called you yesterday to say thank you,
but I also wanted to write a quick email as well. I
truly think that your product is a work of art. The
Lancelot boots that I ordered are perfect and the fit
is incredible right out of the box. The lugged Vibram
soles make all of the difference and will be perfect
for the all day outdoor activities I have planned. The
leather is so smooth and soft as well.
I also have to say that the product is only half of
what I truly like about Renboots. The other half is
the customer service. Your kindness on the phone and
great personality made all of the difference when
ordering and deciding on the boots that would be right
for me and costuming them to my needs.
Thank you again and I look forward to recommending
you to my friends. I just know that my wife will want
a pair as well, since she is already jealous of mine.
Sincerely,
Douglas K.

RE: Blackbeard Boots

You guys are all terrific! The boots arrived today, and they fit Warren
perfectly. He loves them. Thank you so much for all your hard work! You
make a high-quality product, too.
You guys really ROCK!

Thanks again!

PS-I'm also going to tell you how wonderfully comfortable they are! I
don't know how anyone gets by without Vibram soles, though. We spend
hours walking around, standing and talking to people, and our feet felt
great! I saw a link to your site from some pirate site that said your
boots were the "high end", indicating that someone new might want
something cheaper. Well, you get what you pay for. They feel so good
when you're walking or standing, even on concrete. We'll recommend you
to anyone wanting the best boots.

Thanks again for working so hard to meet our deadline!

Just wanted to let you know that my boots arrived today and they are fantastic! I wanted to thank you for your help in getting my boots to me so that my groom and groomsman will have something covering their feet at our wedding! You were an immense help and worked with me to get me the boots on short notice. Will definitely be purchasing from you again for any future boot needs and will most definitely recommend you to my friends! Your boots are superior quality and worth every penny I paid.

Thanks Again!

Doug,

I am the young lady that you helped in Salt Lake City, UT over the phone. I ordered a pair of boots from you, and you were very knowledgeable and patient with all my questions. Just two, short days later my boots arrived! I couldn't stand it!!! They are not only gorgeous, but very slimming to the leg, feminine and will be the envy of all the privateers at my party!!!!

I am off to the N. Cali Renaissance Faire and I KNOW these boots will be so comfortable to wear all day! No BREAK IN TIME! You guys are my NEW and ONLY place for renaissance boots!!!!!!!

Thanks,

Dear Doug,

Just wanted to let you know you have another satisfied customer up here in
Dearborn Michigan.

I was looking for a pair of boots to finish my renaissance wear and was
fortunate enough to come across your website. I was very impressed with the
selection, as well as the prices. I called the telephone number and talked
to a very pleasant lady named Cheryl. She was so helpful. When a question
came up that she couldn't immediately answer, she contacted you (you were...out of state...at the time, lol) about it and then got right back to
me. She also called and let me know the boots had been shipped and were on
the way. Now, this is all well and good, and I was very pleased with the
service to that point. But then, a few days later, I received the boots.
They are your new Percival line. I bought them sight unseen upon the
description Cheryl gave me. And I was extremely, happily, and pleasantly
surprised at the quality, and the look of the boots. The fit is very good as
well.They are, in a word, Perfect ! ! !

As I stroll the grounds of Holly Grove at the Michigan Renaissance festival
this year, and many to come. I will be sure to tell one and all whom my
inquire as to where I purchased the boots, that I got them from
Renboots.com.

I commend you and your staff on a great product, excellent service, and fast
shipping.

My sincere thanks,

AWESOME BOOTS!
I received my BROWN boots on Wednesday and went to the Faire on Sunday at
Stafford Lake in Novato, California - They fit perfectly! After 8 hours,
even though the rest of me was tired from a day of fun and frolic, my feet
felt like a million dollars! I can't say enough about your boots, and hope
that you continue selling them for many years to come. I did do some
bragging about my boots while at the Excalibur Leather Tent, where I bought
a BROWN leather baldric, and a few of the folks there later asked me about
the boots and baldric, and how did I like them.... Well, what could I tell
them - THE BOOTS ARE AWESOME! GET A PAIR, YOU WON"T BE DISAPPOINTED! I do like the thin sole that I got on these, and think that I will get my next pair with the Vibram Sole so that I can compare them!

Thanks again for the BROWN Boots!

Dear Renboots,

I just received a pair of you(r) Little John Boots, and I am absolutely thrilled! Their color matches perfectly with my costume and the fit is incredible. Having a wide foot, I am used to suffering through dozens of pairs of footwear to find one pair that fits, and then spend weeks breaking it in. Your boots, however, fit perfectly, no breaking in needed! The quality and the leather work turned out well above my expectations, as did the short shipping time.

Thanks again for the wonderful service!

Dear Renboots-

I just wanted to send you a "thank you" e-mail. I recently ordered a pair of your Maid Marion Boots, and they are absolutely wonderful! I have never wore anything so comfortable in my life. The very first time I put them on they felt like slippers, with no breaking-in required. This has never happened with a pair of boots I've owned before, and I was amazed.

The quality of the boots is impeccable as well!

Thank you so much for making such a wonderful boot, and having such wonderful and dependable service with it's delivery. I shall definitely be buying from you in the future, and recommending anyone who needs a pair of boots to come shop through you!

Thanks again!

Heya Doug!!

Just thought I'd let you know, I have just spent the last week learning to ride a horse!!

Since I had no professional equipment of my own, I opted to ride in my Prince John boots....and boy do they ROCK!!

I must have had twenty different admiring people asking about them, many wanting to know where they could find a pair of their own!!

I can understand why. Aside from looking simply fabulous, Renboots tall models are perfectly suited to riding when worn above the knee. The soles grip the stirrups well and the leg shafts are comfortable enough to avoid chafing from the stirrup straps.

Hold tight, I think business may be picking up......

Thanks again,

SUBJECT: I GOT BBBOOOOOOTTTSSSSS!!!

Good Morning Doug,

Just wanted to say thank-you very much for the boots. They arrived in prompt fashion at exactly 10:00 Friday morning, so I had a lovely surprise waiting for me after work. Just what I needed following a long week of office silliness!!

Firstly, the boots themselves: Quite simply, I slipped them on, zipped them up and they sat like slippers on my feet. They required no breaking in and they fit perfectly, and I do mean PERFECTLY. I have never had anything like this directly 'out of the box'. My British Army 1982 Falklands War issue combat boots took 12 years of hard action to be this comfortable. My sincerest compliments to your craftsmanship!!

I wore them all waking hours of the weekend, be it lazing around with videos, fighting against my Swordsmaister or just running around the woodland (a nice little field test).

From the word go they were fantastic, very hardwearing and well suited to a life of action.

Secondly, one of the more endearing factors was the kind of sole you used. I play a Thief character in my roleplay group and we often play at the Napoleonic forts of Portsmouth. Usually you can hear me sneaking around because all our shoes make this loud 'Clack' sound on the concrete floor, but the Renboots are almost completely silent!!

Now that's cool!!

Also, I noticed that you had updated the website with a new offer of a Tshirt. I cursed myself when I saw that, since my order had been placed only a few days before. Yet I was destined for further surprise when I find you had kindly sent me a Tshirt too!!

My housemates were also present at the opening of the box since I had been raving about this for ages and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Upon seeing the level of regard you afford your clients their remarks were along the lines of "Wow, what a dude!!", albeit in modern colloquial English that even I do not fully comprehend :-D

In summary I am happy to say that this whole experience has been both a pleasure and a delight.

I thank you wholeheartedly.

Hello,
Just writing to tell you that you have a great product! I just recieved the Little John Knee Boot and I am very impressed. Fast shipping, great fit, and the quality for the money seems well above average. I won't hesitate to upgrade with your line in the future. Or recommend them to my friends.
Kudos to you!

I placed an order with you guys last week and finally got the money order in the mail this past Tuesday. I assumed it would take a few weeks for you to process the order and the like (like most places that I have ordered from over the net) but imagine my surprise when I see the FedEx truck pull up today with my boots!! (It's only Thursday by the way-two days!! WOW!!)
The boots are wonderful and I will definitely be suggesting you for anyone that I know who may be in the market for a good pair of boots. Excellent job!!

Just wanted to drop a line and say "thank you" and that my boots are wonderful. I spoke with Doug on the phone yesterday (Friday) about my order which had recently arrived at your office, and he mentioned that he hoped to have everything shipped by the end of the day. I was quite happy with that and, while a little disappointed I wouldn't be able to wear the boots to our Twelfth Night celebration today, was quite happy they would be in my hands soon. IMAGINE my surprise when there was a knock on the door this morning as I was preparing to leave and the FedEx deliveryman dropped off my boots! I think that was wonderful, and I feel you really went above and beyond for me... The boots fit great and they are so soft I was able to wear them all day with no break-in time at all. I will certainly recommend your services to anyone I know looking for a good pair of boots. Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Dear Doug,

Thank you so much...we received the gorgeous pirate costume just in time for Halloween, and my little Jack Sparrow slept in the shirt last night because he wouldn't be parted from it! It's a great testament to how comfortable as well as beautiful your things are.

Just wanted you to know that you've made one little boy in Shanghai, China very, very happy--bless you!

Doug,

Thank you for taking the time to work with me regarding the Little John knee boots and trying to get them to fit. I guess I am one of the oddballs with the thick ankles and the small feet. As a testament to the quality, as hard as I tried to put them on not a single stitch broke on them! Extremely durable! I'm sure the Prince John boots will be of the same quality and last me through many Renaissance Faires.
It makes a big difference in a company when you can have a great conversation with the owner and get your issues resolved all while getting a laugh or two in the process. You will be the first I recommend to others to get their boots! Thank you for your outstanding customer support!
Take Care,
