Bespoke shoes

Bespoke shoes are shoes made especially for a certain customer by a shoemaker.^[1] The feet are measured and a last for each foot is created. Some people have different sizes of their feet. Bespoke shoes is a way to come around that problem. The customer can often choose between a wide variety of styles, soles, leather types and colors. When a customer first orders bespoke shoes, the shoemaker does not finish them before the fitting. This is where the customer tries the prototype and the shoemaker check if anything needs to be changed. If so, the changes are applied to the lasts and the shoes are finished. When the final lasts are created the customer can order new shoes without more measurements and fittings.^[2]
