does anyone have any experiance dealing with these guys?
i found them by searching Mongol armor, and was impressed with their versions. then i looked at clothes (mainly for the wife) and was again impressed. Footwear? ive never seen a single store with a greater variety.
would love to know of their quality and reliability.

Re: armstreet?
I currently wear a pair of their "Renaissance High Leather Boots" as a part of my ranger kit. They were custom sized to me, and fit perfectly, around my feet AND calves. I added a gel insole for comfort, but it wasn't completely necessary.
They were making my boots when they realized there was a small, minor defect in the leather, so they informed me that there would be a delay, and they started over to ensure that I was getting what I paid for. Not pictured or discussed in their description, is that they are held shut by velcro, which wasn't a big deal. I am in the process of replacing it with eyelets and lacing, and adding a buckle to the strap around the ankle, but with the winningas I'm currently wearing, you can't tell the velcro's there, and they don't open during use at all.
In short, they're great.

Greg nice looking boots.
They have a lot of nice looking stuff and prices seem pretty good, except shipping seemed kinda high.

Re: armstreet?
That explains a lot then, I didn't look that far into it. Thanks for the info.
