HERSEY is taking orders again!

[cjsmith]

Holy moly! I waited over a year for these guys, maybe close to two, checking their web site every month only to be told "our order queue is too long, check back in a month" every darn time. Then I just plain forgot about them. I figured things would never improve.

But a LJ-friend of mine said that she has just received her Herseys. So I looked. And they're taking orders again!

I sent them e-mail asking whether, in my situation, they'll want casts of my feet or just tracings and measurements.

If they are willing to do shoes for me, which isn't at all a given, it could mean I could have closed toes for rain and snow. It could mean I don't spend $50 every three weeks on shoes that fall apart. It might even mean I could go to a job interview in shoes that don't cause massive pain, because maybe the Herseys could be made to look somewhat normal.

Fingers crossed.

This place sounds ultracool!

Um, just a thought, but maybe it would be wise to wait on these until you've seen the pain doc in NY, just in case the doctor has some specific things for or about your feet that will affect your order.

Hersey's seems to be the gold standard for custom shoes.

Good point on the pain doc. They won't be able to start cutting and stitching my shoes for a good six months, either way.
