Over 30 processes constitute a pair of boots, from last-work to pattern-making to closing, making, and finishing with many steps in between.

To begin, la Saboteuse will measure your feet in order to adapt individual lasts (boot forms) with the intent to create well-fit boots.

La Saboteuse will propose an original boot design and its materials based on discussion and collaboration with you, then construct the boots by hand to your measurements. 

Just as each pair of boots will be singular in size and fit, so will be each design born of inspiration unique to you. 

Each pair of boots takes several months to complete, with 90 - 150 hours of labor invested in an average pair to raise the boots up out of raw materials. Saboteuse has a one year waiting list. 

Boots cost in a range from $5,000 to $10,000+ depending on the complexity of design; prices directly reflect the labor and material relationship to each pair.

The aspiration is to walk out of the Ten Footer Studio in a comfortable work of exquisitely-crafted, wearable art. -->
