We offer a one-to-one personal service as we explain below, which is necessary for the making of bespoke shoes that fit correctly, therefore appointments are necessary.

We do not charge for any appointments at our workshop in Bristol or for home visits within a 25 mile radius. For further distances please contact us to discuss.

 

This is the procedure we follow when designing, fitting and creating your
hand made pair of shoes.

Measurements.

In order to achieve the perfect fit we have to measure your foot. The
measurements are used to create a mould and allow us to accommodate for any
specific requirements, special insoles, inserts, corns, bunions etc. At this
stage to proceed with the making a 50% deposit is required.

Designing.

It is up to you at this stage how involved you want to be, we are happy to
advise you on what we believe would be best suited for your needs or you can
feel free to suggest any design ideas of your own that you would like to try
and we will be happy to help where possible.

However whether you want to be involved in the designing or would prefer to
choose a more standard design we still have a wide range of leathers and
materials for you to choose from.

Finishing.

After 15 - 20 days the leather has been cut, stitched, and made into your
shoe ready for a fitting, at this stage the shoe is not finished, it has a
temporary heel.

At the fitting we will check if there are any problems that need correcting
(i.e. too loose, too tight etc) and if so a 2^nd or 3^rd
fitting may sometimes be needed.

Final stage.

When you are happy with the fit we finish the shoe with a sole of your choice
either lightweight micro, commando unit or a classic leather sole with leather
heel.

The average time we aim to complete this procedure is 1 month however as with all bespoke procedures it may sometimes take more or less time.
