There are custom boot makers here in Texas but a good one will not make thim without a face to face so they can measure, sometimes several times. Youmigt contact the Justin boot company and see what they will do

If you want custom boots, then you have to go to them, ie: the boot maker. Had a pair made down near McAllen, Tx. Camargos, They measure your foot, right and left, you say what type of leather, sole, heel, whatever, took them about 6 weeks to make and send back to me in Wisconsin. They fit like a glove, but spendy.

Only thing I would stay away from is the leather soles on cowboy boots you can bust your a$$ on asphalt. Never had a pair made so can't refer to anyone

Funny you should mention double H boots, have a steel toe pair and broke in real easy, and comfy, worth a try.
