I have invested extensively in tools, leathers, and various supplies to craft custom footwear for myself and others. If you have the patience and resources to “lend me your feet,” I will create a custom wooden last shaped exactly to your feet, tailored to the style of shoes you desire, and develop the pattern we agree upon. This initial step costs only $60.

To produce the shoes, I charge separately for the leather and an hourly labor rate. The final price varies depending on the style (which affects the amount of leather used), your choice of color, texture, and whether I have those materials in stock. Typically, the cost for your custom shoes will range from $150 to $600.

If your request falls beyond my capabilities or toolset, I will gladly refer you to other master shoemakers who specialize in such work, though their services may come at a higher cost.

My services are not suitable for those seeking the equivalent of a pair of $4000 Italian dress shoes but only willing to pay $100. If you look closely, you may find evidence that your finished shoes were crafted by a human, not a machine. They will look good, feel great (especially after a break-in period), and last longer than you might expect. However, they will not be without flaws. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, we might be able to collaborate.
