I love my Sioux Mocs. The quality of the leather and craftsmanship is exceptional. The leather is luxurious! I was in Mariposa for our trip to Yosemite and had a free morning to go the Native Earth retail store and factory. The interaction with the staff was the most pleasant retail experience I can recall. They provided meticulous attention to developing a custom fit with templates and measurements. The shoes arrived a week earlier than they indicated. I put the moccasins on and was blown away by the comfort and overall feel and look. The Native Earth folks now have all my information for future shoes. I am already planning on ordering the Villager boots. I am not engaged in renaissance fairs, it is important to note that the style of these moccasins and boots are fantastic for my daily needs. The staff took me on the tour of the factory, and it was clear that all the workers were joyfully focused on quality and creating value for their customers. I recommend Native Earth shoes for their overall quality, craftmanship, and styling. read more

I bought custom boots from Nativearth 15 years ago and I couldn't be happier with them. I'm a performer and I've been through all kinds of weather on my feet for 10 hour days a dozen weekends a year, including snow and flooding rain. Through it all my feet have stayed dry and comfortable and look great. I recently had a metal button shank break off from metal fatigue. I stopped by their booth at the Northern California Renaissance faire, expecting to drop off my boots and live without them for a week or two. Instead they fixed the button on the spot. Quick friendly service and nominal charge for the buttons and I was back on my feet performing. Not only that but at my request they also fixed a second button that had been replaced years earlier but wasn't tight down tightly. And it turns out they've even improved their buttons with heavier shanks so the newer buttons will be less likely to break after 15 years of hard use. Thank you, Native Earth! read more

About eight years ago, my wife and I were wandering around the Florida Renaissance Faire in Deerfield Beach, garbed for the event, when my makeshift Renaissance boots (admittedly originally salvaged from a thrift shop) finally bit the dust, the sole separating from the top part of the boot. Luckily for me, Nativearth was peddling boots at this faire, and they measured me, had me pick out my buttons and other style points, and inside of three weeks, they had shipped me my new pair of custom boots. Since most of the boot companies were taking orders six months out at the time, I couldn't have been more pleased, and still wear them to an average of 3-4 RenFests every year. Thanks, Nativearth! read more

I special ordered my very-favorite-boots-that-I-want-to-be-buried-in-when-I-die a couple of years ago. Somehow, I managed to hit the order button twice, and accidently ordered two pairs. Dumbly, I did not notice this, but the kind and wise customer service folks at Native Earth did, and they called me to double check if that was correct. That is an unusual level of integrity and service that one doesn't often see in the world anymore. I doubt that my boots will ever wear out, but I will be forever recommending this company for both quality and service. read more

My most favorite shoes for the last twenty years from the sandals to slippers to my first- the ren faire boots have all been outstanding in quality, comfort and unique style. The service never disappoints with superb fitting and follow through with re-soling. I love supporting this local family business of expert artisan craftspeople at their Mariposa factory and all points on the compass they set up shop. My next pair will be the 49ers like my son's and I know I will get the best fit and exact style my heart desires. read more

I visited the Nativearth booth at the Northern California Renaissance Faire and was immediately given exceptional customer service. Leanne helped me find the perfect pair of boots, knew way more about how the sizing would work, where it would be a little tight/loose/etc. than anyone I've had help me in any footwear store, and helped stretch the trouble areas of the boots to create a perfect fit for my feet. The result was the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever worn and an extremely satisfied customer. read more

Purchased custom boots from the Nativearth booth at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival four years ago and couldn't be happier. They were comfortable from the first time I put them on and have only gotten better as time has gone on as they conform to my feet better. Looking forward to getting many more years of use from them. read more

I bought my handmade custom boots from Native Earth over 20 years ago and they are still going strong. I wear them to RenFaires, and SCA wars and have never had any problems with them. I am beginning to think that they will out live me. The workmanship is excellent and the price paid was more than fair. read more
