News and updates as of May 05, 2013
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE. I AM NOW 100% COMMITTED FOR FILLING ORDERS. I CAN NO LONGER ACCEPT ORDERS FOR SHOES THAT HAVE TO BE MADE TO COMPLETE AN ORDER. THE WEBSITE AT THIS TIME ONLY SHOWS STYLES THAT I HAVE INVENTORY IN. IT WILL ONLY ACCEPT ORDERS FOR SHOES THAT ARE IN INVENTORY FOR THE NEXT MONTH. I AM COMPLETING THE ORDERS THAT I AM CURRENTLY COMMITTED TO FILLING. I AM MAXED OUT.
It would be shear folly on my behalf and unfair to the people who currently have orders in with me to continue to accept more. The website has been changed over to accept orders only for shoes that I have in inventory in the size and colour you order. I can pick, pack and ship these within a few days. This will be for the month of of May as I also have several commercial contracts that have to be filled at this time also.
Welcome to the website of Robert Land Historic Shoes. A small (one, two man) shop specializing in the reproduction of 18th, 19th and early 20th Century shoes and boots.
Thank you to everyone who has ordered shoes from me this year. It's been a banner year. As a matter of fact it's been a bit overwhelming (That's an understatement!). Seeing it's the third year of the 150th ann. of the American Civil War. The second year of the 200th ann. of the War of 1812. The ending of the Napoleonic wars 200th in 2015 in Europe. And people are now preparing for the the upcoming 100th of the Great War for Civilization in 2014.
IF IT'S NOT INSTOCK YOU CANNOT BUY IT, AND AT THIS MOMENT IT CANNOT BE MADE FOR YOU IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. I AM FOCUSING ON THE ORDERS THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON MY ORDER BOOK
I am not Walmart, or Amazon.com. They give you low quality, but they give it to you cheap and fast. I'll speed things up. But, I won't give you crap. I don't have 30,000 employees or sales greater than the GNP of some small countries. I am ONE man who makes good handmade shoes. If you don't want to wait for something that is hand made, goodbye, and go back to Walmart. Sorry for the rant. I do my best. It's been a long hard year.
Please note our shipping charges, methods and policies HAVE CHANGED AS OF MAY 01. Visit the "our policies" link to view.
