No customizations to the last, when I had them resoled I did have a lift added to the heel which increased the arch a little and made them feel more supportive
The fit and feel is very good, they have a moderate arch but a decently sprung toe, the heel is comfortably narrow giving a nice locked in feeling and the forefoot is nice and roomy making sure there’s absolutely zero pinching or anything from the steel toe caps even though they have a fairly low profile toe compared to some others I’ve worn

More about this item
The kilties are from Canada West boots in Red Dog leatherWhy I Own This
I purchased these since as a mechanic I need to wear protective footwear but I also enjoy the heritage of traditional work boots so I sought out a vintage pair with a protective toe cap and was able to purchase these locally, I also really like the nylon corded biltrite soles because the grip you get on oily shop floors is honestly unmatched
How I Sized
I based my size off of other boots I had worn from the same brand, but still ended up a little bit different (they actually fit me better than I expected)
Ordering Process
I messaged the guy selling them and then came over to see them and try em on and left with a lighter wallet but I was the owner of a pair of boots I’m confident I’ll never see another pair of
