Creating your footwear begins with a cast of your foot and your customized order. With our
Instructional Casting Video you can do this simple duct tape cast yourself in the convenience of your own home. There is an additional charge for two fittings: See "Do I need two fittings", on the Q&A Page for further information. SodHoppers accepts PayPal, ViSA, M/C & Discover credit, debit & Bank card transfers. Your Order and Payment information is kept confidentially off computer records. Payment can also be made by personal check or money order.

Before we can make your custom footwear, we need your usable foot tracings and the completed cast of your foot. To obtain the casting Video, fill out the order form below and send in your down payment, minimum $100, payments can be made at your leisure within a one year period. The Casting Video will be sent by USPS First Class mail ASAP. When we receive it back, along with the tracings & cast, with payment made in full, your boots will be scheduled for completion within a 3 week period and shipped Priority U.S. Air Mail, Insured with Delivery Confirmation.

TWO PARTS

1. Fill out the order form below.

2. Submit Order and proceed to the Payment Page.

If you want to order any of the boot examples, simply make a note in the comments section below. You can custom design them to any height and change any of the options, such as colors, buttons, etc. The price is effected by the height and the optional choices. Feel free to call or email me for a quote.

So what is a basic boot? The base price for a particular boot height includes the following: Any color combination, any base trim design, any sole except the Goop sole, any standard buttons (optional buttons as priced), a complete finished edge piping and removable insole. Options are extra due to expense of material or time and labor of application.

Many typical questions have been addressed on our Questions & Answers Page If you know that your feet are very different from each other, or in doing your cast you determine that you need to do two fittings, see "Do I need two fittings", on the Q&A Page for further information, there is an additional $35 charge. If that is the case, check the Two Fittings box just above the Comments Box.

1. Button Height of Moccasin Choose Height 2 Button 5" $225 3 Button 7" $270 4 Button 9" $315 5 Button 11" $360 6 Button 13" $405 7 Button 15" $450 Kneehigh 8-10 Buttons 17-19" $495

The higher the boot height, the more total body support you get. The Kneehigh Boot varies in height between
8 -10 Buttons (No Additional Cost) depending on the height of the individual. They come to about an inch below the knee. The 2 Button boot comes just above the ankle. The 3 Button boot is the minimum height needed to start feeling a boot-like support. The 5 Button is a lower mid-calf high boot.

2. Choose Color Smoke Buffalo Saddle Buffalo Tobacco Buffalo Redwood Buffalo Chocolate Buffalo Black Buffalo Green Elk Gold Elk Smoke Elk Saddle Elk Tobacco Elk Chocolate Elk Black Elk Red Bullhide Green Bullhide Purple Bullhide Tobacco Bullhide Black Bullhide  View Leather Colors
This is the overall color of the basic boot itself, prior to adding any trim.

The best choice for the main body is Buffalo! It is thick and has excellent stretch, strength, texture and feel. The Bull is also thick and has great strength, but doesn't have the same stretch qualities and takes longer to break in. The Elk is thinner, stretches great, and has less strength and weight than the Buffalo or Bull, no break in period needed. This is a great choice if you want a light weight moccasin not designed for rugged use.

3. Design of Front Piece Trim None Scallop Straight Roll Celtic Natural Edge 2-4 Button $15 Natural Edge 5-8 Buttons $20

A front piece is not mandatory, but adds beauty, and very needed backing strength to the button attachment.

                    
             Scallop               Straight               Roll            Natural Edge

For Celtic Design examples see Moccasin #'s 13, 15, 21 & 30. View Moccasins

The Natural Edge is taken from the edge of the hide. There are limited areas to use for this purpose and the demand is high, plus it is harder and more time consuming to sew, which is why there is an extra cost involved.
For great examples of boots with natural edging look at Moccasin #'s 3, 10, 11, 16, 20, 23, 26, 28 & 29.

4.  Choose Color Smoke Buffalo Saddle Buffalo Tobacco Buffalo Redwood Buffalo Chocolate Buffalo Black Buffalo Green Elk Gold Elk Smoke Elk Saddle Elk Tobacco Elk Chocolate Elk Black Elk Red Bullhide Green Bullhide Purple Bullhide Black Bullhide Turquoise Deer Green Deer Blue Deer Purple Deer Red Deer Gold Deer Cream Deer Saddle Deer Tobacco Deer Redwood Deer Chocolate Deer Black Deer  View Leather Colors

If you choose one of the thicker leathers for this trim area, I may substitute it with a lighter weight leather of the same color. This is due to compatibility of the leathers and how they will best function.

5. Optional - Edging On Front Trim None Edging 2-4 Buttons $20 Edging 5-8 Buttons $30

6. Choose Color Smoke Saddle Tobacco Redwood Chocolate Black Green Gold Red Purple Turquoise Cream

7. Style of Heel Piece Trim Choose One Full Heelpiece As Front Trim Design Full Natural Edge Heelpiece 2-4 Buttons $15 Full Natural Edge Heelpiece 5-8 Buttons $20 Cap & Tabs

    Full Heelpiece  Or  Cap & Tabs

You must choose one of these for your heel piece

If you choose the Full Heel Piece, it will usually be cut in the same trim design as the Front Trim. The Full Heel Piece is all one piece with lacing tabs included.

The Cap & Tabs style consist of individual pieces, the cap is the half-moon piece that covers the heel, and the tabs are the individual diamond shaped pieces that the lace goes through.

Either style gives you the needed second support piece around the heel, the difference is mainly a matter of visual choice. The Full Heel piece adds a bit of weight as well as strength & support. The Cap & Tabs makes the boot a little lighter and more maneuverable.

8.  Choose Color Smoke Buffalo Saddle Buffalo Tobacco Buffalo Redwood Buffalo Chocolate Buffalo Black Buffalo Green Elk Gold Elk Smoke Elk Saddle Elk Tobacco Elk Chocolate Elk Black Elk Red Bullhide Green Bullhide Purple Bullhide Black Bullhide  View Leather Colors

This Heel Piece is an important strength piece and should be made from either the Buffalo or Elk, or in some cases Bull. The more colorful Deer frays easily and can damage easily when scraped.

9. Optional - Cuff  None Straight $40 Natural $50

Straight Cuff  Natural Cuff 

10. None Smoke Buffalo Saddle Buffalo Tobacco Buffalo Redwood Buffalo Chocolate Buffalo Black Buffalo Green Elk Gold Elk Smoke Elk Saddle Elk Tobacco Elk Chocolate Elk Red Bullhide Green Bullhide Purple Bullhide Black Bullhide Turquoise Deer Green Deer Blue Deer Purple Deer Red Deer Gold Deer Cream Deer Saddle Deer Tobacco Deer Redwood Deer Chocolate Deer Black Deer  View Leather Colors

If you choose a leather that is either too thick or too thin for the cuff,
I may substitute it with a more compatible leather for best function.

Toe caps add strength to the toe box region of the boot. If you are hard on this area of your other shoes you probably should add the toe cap. It will take them a bit longer to break in due the the second layer of leather. I don't recommend using the deer hide for this because it will tear through too easily.

Curve Wave Straight Natural

I can also make a “One Piece” toe cap that is a continuation of the front trim piece -

12. None Smoke Buffalo Saddle Buffalo Tobacco Buffalo Redwood Buffalo Chocolate Buffalo Black Buffalo Green Elk Gold Elk Smoke Elk Saddle Elk Tobacco Elk Chocolate Elk Black Elk Red Bullhide Green Bullhide Purple Bullhide Tobacco Bullhide Black Bullhide  View Leather Colors

This Toe Cap is an important strength piece and should be made from either the Buffalo or Elk. Warning: The more colorful Deer frays easily and can damage easily when scraped, and Bull is too stiff.

13. Optional - Fringe None 4-6 Button $40 7-8 Button $60

14. None Smoke Buffalo Saddle Buffalo Tobacco Buffalo Redwood Buffalo Chocolate Buffalo Black Buffalo Green Elk Gold Elk Smoke Elk Saddle Elk Tobacco Elk Chocolate Elk Black Elk Turquoise Deer Blue Deer Purple Deer Cream Deer   View Leather Colors

If you choose one of the thicker leathers for this trim area, I may substitute it with a lighter weight leather of the same color. This is due to compatibility of the leathers and how they will best function.

that to purchase a 5 Button Boot for example, requires 10 Buttons.
