5% OFF footwear orders when you come to us!
Go to "Menu" and then click on "Ordering Footwear"...there you will find information on how to place an order remotely, as well as the 2 part video. We'd love to hear any feedback you may have on the video or the written instructions for ordering. This is a work in progress and one that we have high hopes for. If you're interested in ordering or have anything to share please contact us.
Many of you are familiar with this land of soaring alps and plunging canyons that we call home (Ahhh...Joseph, Oregon!). And--given our remote, tucked away location--many of you are not. Either way, it is truly a place to behold...well worth the flora-flounced, serpentine drive from any angle! Imagine that you could take this epic adventure into the Wallowa Mountains AND get your foot/feet cast-ed for an entirely customized pair of shoes/boots that you get to design...MY HEART JUST SKIPPED A BEAT! you're exclaiming...well, now we're offering a 5% discount when you come to us! That goes for both locals and out-of-towners.
If the situation requires it, we are fully equipped with both masks and gloves, and, if it's a nice day, we could even do the casting in our yard under the irresistible and unflappable gaze of Chief Joseph Mountain!
We are also open to coming to you; in fact, we are planning a "tape-casting" road trip (probably August) or two that will take us around Oregon and potentially up into Washington, over to Idaho, and maybe further. If this interests you please contact us. The more orders we can get on our list the further we can travel.
We can't overstate how much we appreciate all your support on our mission to be-clad, in leather, every tootsie and trotter we can get our hands on...not to mention shoulders and waists with our head-turning and utilitarian line of bags...and then there're wrists and necks...and jars...oh my!
All the best!

]]>Our chief product is our entirely customized moccasins. To place an order, your-feet-in-our-hands has always been a requirement. Given that this is impossible for the time being (however long that may be), we are making efforts to produce a video that will lay out all the steps for tape-casting a foot. This will allow folks to do the castings at home and then mail them to us. Most likely, we will be releasing this video on our eventual YouTube channel. Stay tuned to find out more about this and possible Kickstarter or GoFundMe campaigns.
We’ve been at this leatherworking/shoemaking gig for almost 9 years now, and in that time we’ve developed and honed an array of quality products, generating a real fervor and appetite for what we do. As well, we’ve met and befriended so many good-humored, artistic and wholehearted people along the winding show-road. We are determined to do everything we can to adapt to these changing times and keep Alkahest Leather going. We can’t tell you how much your ongoing support means to us…a big ol’ hat tip of gratitude to you! With vigor in our steps and honey in our hearts, we’ll get through this together!
All the best!
