About Try On Pairs Service:
- Try On Pairs Service is only available for customers in USA, because of the shipping cost & custom issues. Please don't order if you are not in USA.
- Since we don't charge deposit for the pair, we require an open order with us as a deposit. You need to enter your open order number to request this service. Otherwise, we won't be able to ship the try on pairs to you. Note: a payment processing fee will be charged if you want to cancel this service
- The charge is only for the round trip shipping. A return label will be provided in the try on pairs' box, or you can get it from us through email. If you also live in SF Bay area, you can contact me to schedule a visit in person instead.
- Try on pairs are built with TCO last, only in D width, and only limited sizes available.
- For try on pairs, we only have 1 pair per size. So it could take some extra time to ship the pair to you, if others are also trying that size.
- The leather used for those try on pairs is very soft and also unlined. So the try on pairs seem a little small for you, the actual pair will for sure be smaller than you need. Don't stretch it. Make sure there is enough toe room in the try on pairs (around 1-2 finger, 2-3cm), and it's ok to feel there is a little extra room in the try on pairs. Also you will feel the facing would come closer than the normal TCO.
- The try on pairs are half finished boots, and they are supposed to be worn. So feel free to take a walk with them to confirm the sizing. But don't go extrme on them.
About TCO last:
- You can always pick the same sizes across all our models & lasts, unless you have a very narrow / wide feet, or you have a special shape foot which usually have a fit issue.
- TCO (The Chosen One), Devil Dog and Zero lasts all have a higher instep. So the facing may come closer than other lasts. For all other lasts, the instep is normal.
About Bootmaker
About Bootmaker
All Iron Boots are fully handmade by our bootmaker Kai and 5 teammates together in a small studio at Guangzhou. They are built in handwelt or hand stitchdown, with channelled insole construction, which are stronger and last longer than normal Goodyear welted shoes/boots made by machines. Each pair is 100% hand welted, hand last, hand bottomed, and also hand-sewn outsole stitch.

Lead Time
Lead Time
Current lead time is around 5 months (orders from Mar. - Oct.)
Due to Lunar New Year holiday break and end of year surge, orders from Nov. - Feb. can take around 6, or even 9 months to finish.
FYI, lead time is just an estimate, which means the actual lead time can be shorter or longer. We don't accept cancel / refund for MTO orders, even it takes longer than the estimated lead time. But if you have already waited more than the estimated lead time, you can reach out to us. We will investigate what has happened, and try everything we can to make things right.
Unfortunately it's just the natural of how customized stuff is made in a small workshop. If that's a deal breaker, you can take a look of our Ready To Wear collection instead.
