Prices start from 350 USD for local leather

500 USD for imported leathers.

Since its MTO, depending on leather, models and other options prices will increase

Does the Onderhoud SVC03 fit true to size? Meaning, would you take your Brannock size, or size down half (as is usually the case with boots)? Most Indonesian makers seem to go by Euro sizes. I'm an 8 UK and 42 Euro, that's the size I give them and that has worked fine. Not sure is Onderhoud follows the same method.

if you order from him he will talk about sizing. ask measurements as well (if needed).

He has a few different lasts and the sizing is a bit different in them. so its better you have a conversation with him about sizing

My experience has been positive with him. I have 3 pairs and all fit very nicely

Thanks. I would have spoken to him but he often puts a condition on his Instagram lottery posts that you have to know your size in order to place an order with him ! Meaning , repeat customers only.

Hence the question specifically about SVC 03 since that's the model I am interested in. Would like to know your experience on that particular last.

I’ve never had any luck getting any form of reply, I like RenavGoods. I did a monkey boot design and he produced it as an mto/ready to wear line and we are doing a Boondocker. That’s not quite ready yet. I find his stuff fits tts. Also Benzein do but the last two Chelsea boots I got off him seem big. Aesthetically look a lot larger than others I’ve had so……

I am selling my Santalum service boots, made in Horween black waxed flesh, 44. These are just too big and voluminous for my skinny feet. They have had tongue pads in. Please note that I was wearing them when I had a paint spill and there was a bit of splashage (see some remaining marks on sole, which can easily be dealt with), and a bit of paint on the body of the boot itself which I dyed over on Horween's recommendation with Fiebling. I also managed to take a small chunk off the midsole of the right boot, outer side (see pic just above small paint splash), which has been dyed. Shipping from the UK. Despite the cosmetic damage they are in otherwise very good shape and barely worn, as the soles show. I love the look but the fit just wasn't right. I have no idea how to price these. They cost $390 (plus shipping, I think); make me an offer.
