- Ask for full-grain leather and stitched (not just glued) soles — say you'll pay the difference
- 6-month warranties are standard at reputable shops; 'no like = no pay' at Friendly
- Bring photos of the exact design you want; they can copy almost anything
- Wear them for an hour before leaving town so adjustments are free and same-day
