ORDER NOTES (Optional): If you have any special requests, such as having this order made in a color from a different model from our website, please write the name of the model and color in this box.

We will email you to confirm all your customizations and allow you to make any changes before production starts. Production starts 1 week after we have received your foot molds back.

FITTING OPTIONS

By Foot Shape: from the comfort of your home, step in and out of our Bio-Foam® precision foot molds, engineered and made by Smithers Bio-Medical Systems in Kent, Ohio. Our unique process allows us to obtain an exact replica of each individual foot up to 2 inches above the ankle bones, including its volume, dimensions, fitting preferences, and elasticity indexes throughout different areas of your feet to arrive at a proper fitting shoe (details).
Reorder: if you are a returning customer, we will use your personal bespoke lasts stored at our warehouse in Italy to craft your order.

SOLE CONSTRUCTION

Cemented: the sole is attached to the upper part of the shoe using cement.

SOLE MATERIAL OPTIONS

Italian Pietro Presot Leather: leather tanned by the Pietro Presot family in Porcia, Italy, since 1932. They are known for their flexibility, impermeability and durability (details).

Once we receive your foot molds back we will create and share by email several blueprints with toe box shapes ranging from pointy to round, custom designed using your foot shape so you may pick the one that you like best.

French Calfskin: "Box Calf" 1.4 - 1.6 mm French full-grain A-grade calfskin produced by Tanneries D'Annonay, founded in the South of France in 1838, owned by the Hermès Group. Box Calf is known for its suppleness, durability, and superior quality (details).

FIT GUARANTEE

Our shoes and boots are handcrafted using your exact foot shape, dimensions, fitting preferences, and elasticity indexes, or we will remake them, free of charge.

LIFETIME FREE SHOE LAST ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM

Fitting Box: 3 business days within the US and Canada through UPS. 10 business days outside the US and Canada through DHL.

Footwear Order: 4 months

The cost of this order covers the creation of a pair of bespoke lasts carved using your personal foot data. These lasts will be kept at our warehouse in Italy for future use if you decide to place additional orders. However, if you wish to own the physical lasts for use by another shoemaker, you may buy them for $1,695 per pair here.

If you use insoles or orthotics, we are able to obtain the exact thickness and volume of your insoles during our foot shape acquisition process so the right amount of room is created for both your feet and your insoles when we make your bespoke footwear.

Additionally, we adjust the leather pattern around your ankles to prevent your heels from slipping out due to the added height from insoles or orthotics.

Size Accomodation: The longest bespoke shoe we can make is 15.3 inches long or 39 cm. This is equivalent roughly to a US men's size 18. The smallest shoe we can make is 5 inches long or 13 cm, equivalent to roughly a US toddler size 8.
Perfect Width Fit: Your shoes will be crafted to precisely match the width of each foot throughout the entire foot.
Sensitive Toe Areas: We provide adequate room for sensitive big toes and pinky toes, preventing discomfort.
Toe Box Space: We create the appropriate amount of toe box space at the front of the shoe for natural toe movement. This includes raising the height of the toe box if needed.
Instep Customization: Whether you have a high or low instep, we adjust the pitch or inclination to fit perfectly, avoiding any pressure points.
Heel Width: Whether your heels are wide or narrow, we tailor the fit to prevent slipping or tightness.
Ankle Rubbing: We design the shoe to avoid rubbing around the ankle bones.
Heel Comfort: We prevent the back of the heel from pinching or digging into the back of your foot.
Pressure Sensitivity: For those with specific areas on their feet sensitive to pressure, we provide extra cushioning or space as needed.
Bunion Accommodation: Extra room can be provided for bunions to ensure comfort.
Leg Length Differences: we can make one shoe higher than the other to account for different leg lengths.
Other Issues: If your specific foot issue isn't listed, please reach out to us. We can discuss whether we can accommodate your unique needs with our bespoke footwear crafting process.

Bespoke Lasts:

Custom Creation: We do not modify pre-existing stock lasts. Instead, we carve bespoke lasts from scratch for each foot. This process ensures that every detail of your foot's shape and your fitting preferences are meticulously captured to create footwear that molds perfectly to your feet.
