Frequently asked questions
Bespoke shoes are made to measure footwear that is designed and crafted specifically for an individual. Bespoke shoes are tailored to your exact measurements, style preferences, and specific design details. The process involves consultations, pattern creation, fittings, and skilled craftsmanship to produce a one-of-a-kind pair of shoes.
Bespoke shoes are fully customised and tailored to your individual measurements and design preferences. The process involves creating a completely new pattern, choosing specific materials, and crafting shoes that are unique to your exact specifications. Bespoke shoes offer more personal attention to detail and a higher degree of customisation.
Made-to-order shoes are created based on your selected design and size from a set range of styles, materials, and options. While the shoes are custom-made just for you, they are based on existing patterns and designs allowing you to have a personalised experience at a fraction of the cost of Bespoke shoes.
