We know what it’s like to buy things online. As soon as your checkout is complete, you’re waiting by the door for the package to arrive. The industry of handmade, made to measure shoes hasn’t quite caught up yet- usually, traditional shoemakers may need months and months to create luxury quality shoes. However, we’ve revamped the process of creating shoes, that’s turning the industry on its head. Now, it takes as little as 2-3 weeks to make your handmade shoes ready to wear, and at your door. How long does it take to deliver handmade shoes? Not as long as you think!

They arrive, presented in a chic shoe box and protected by a dust bag, also making storage easier. Here’s exactly how long it takes to deliver handmade shoes to you…


How long do I have to wait to get my handmade shoes delivered?

Shoemakers work hard- each pair of handmade shoes can take up to 50 hours to create! To ensure your shoes are the premium quality you expect, we work with a team of shoe crafting specialist, not just one.

Having a team of experts working on your shoes reduces the time it takes to deliver handmade shoes. For centuries, handcrafted shoes have taken months to prepare- yet our delivery is within 4-6 weeks. Less than half the time of traditional shoemakers, with a guarantee to match your quality expectations.
