Our custom fit allows for wide, narrow and standard feet as well wide and narrow calf fitting boots FLARE, September 2014 - Poppy Barley Feature pg 62. Poppy Barley offers made-to-measure shoes and boots for men and women, sizes 5-15. Our custom fit allows for wide, narrow and standard feet as well wide and narrow calf fitting boots We are so excited to share the news that Poppy Barley is featured in the September 2014 issue of Canada's FLARE Magazine!

In a story called, "The Shoe Fits!" by Heidi Sopinka (click the image above to expand + read), the Atelier column goes inside the offices--and minds--of some of Canada's up-and-coming designers and entrepreneurs.

In June 2014, Ania B. and her business-partner husband, Tyler Stalman, drove north to Edmonton from their hometown of Calgary to photograph our office (prior to that, the photo editor at Flare asked us for a few snaps of the space... and then encouraged us to clean.

We know, we know. And we did. As Kendall describes the office to Heidi, it's "creative, messy, and fun," but what better way to inspire a cleaning session than a photo shoot for a fashion magazine!). We learned so much from watching Ania and Tyler work with our boots and shoes, and the space--from their impeccable attention to detail to their true alignment of vision.

What a team! Make sure you pick of the latest issue of FLARE and share it with us, and while you're at it, read our interview with Ania here.

Belt Measuring Guide

Belt Measuring Guide

A - High-rise style:

If you plan to wear your belt around your natural waistline, wrap a measuring tape around the narrowest part of your midsection. Then, add 3” to determine your high-rise belt size.

B - Mid-rise style:

If you plan to wear your belt lower than your natural waistline, you will require a dierent size. If you have a particular pair of bottoms you intend to wear your belt with, wrap a measuring tape through the belt loops while in a relaxed position.

When wearing your belt in your preferred style, it should fasten in the middle hole. The belt will relax with wear allowing you to cinch it tighter, as needed.

If you plan to wear the belt in both the high and mid-rise styles, you have two options:

  1. Select your high-rise style and fasten it more loosely when worn in the mid-rise style.
  2. Select your mid-rise style and fasten it more tightly when worn in the high-rise style.
