Poppy Barley shoes are made to my unique measurements—from foot width, to calf width, to boot height. This means they will fit me like a glove and I will never again complain about not being able to find boots or flats that fit. I often have to sacrifice style and comfort to find something that does fit. With Poppy Barley, I can customize the design of my boots and shoes by choosing my favourite style, colour and hardware, so that they are uniquely “me”! Poppy Barley shoes are handcrafted by skilled artisans in León, Mexico, who have decades of shoemaking experience. This means stunning, luxurious and well-made footwear that is built to last. All the materials are individually sourced to achieve the highest standards—this includes premium, AA-grade leather and goat leather lining for the ultimate in softness. This makes me happy. All Poppy Barley footwear is made ethically and transparently—you can find out about their production practices, employee wages and studio conditions here. Buying Poppy Barley shoes means being part of a global movement toward making socially conscious buying decisions. Poppy Barley is a startup with a vision to change the way we buy footwear and is solving a real problem for women (over 60% of them, including me, have trouble finding boots and shoes that fit properly). Supporting them means challenging the conventional footwear industry and the standardization of sizes that alienates people like me! I love Poppy Barley, and you love me… so, you will also love Poppy Barley. Convinced this is a great Christmas gift idea? Send your loved one a MAJOR hint.
