So, are you ready to experience shoe customization like never before?

 

How to Customize Your Shoes

There are a few questions to ask yourself to order your perfectly fitting shoes.

 

What is your typical shoe size?

This question carries significant importance when you're ordering custom-designed shoes. Your shoe size is pivotal in determining your footwear's overall comfort and fit, making precision crucial.

You can measure your shoe size online conveniently through the Feetsizr application, or you can perform a simple measurement at home.

To measure your feet at home, follow these steps:

  • Place a sheet of paper on the floor and stand barefoot on it.
  • Outline your foot's shape using a pencil.
  • Measure the longest distance from your heel to your toe.
  • Repeat steps 1-3 for your other foot.

Here are some additional tips for accurately measuring your shoe size for custom-made shoes:

  • Measure your feet at the end of the day, as they tend to be slightly larger.
  • Wear the same type of socks or stockings you intend to wear with your new shoes.
  • Measure both feet, as they may differ in size.
  • Stand up straight when measuring your feet. This will help to distribute your weight evenly and give you a more accurate measurement.

Once you've obtained your foot measurements, refer to our shoe size chart to determine your size. Keep in mind that shoe sizes can vary across brands and styles, so it's advisable to check the unit of measurement. For instance, a size 7 in the US is equivalent to 6 in the UK and 40 by European standards.

What if your size falls between standard sizes?

No need to worry! At Adorsi, we offer a wide range of shoe sizes, including half sizes, ensuring that we can accommodate your specific needs.

 

What shoe width do you typically wear?

Knowing your shoe width is essential for ordering bespoke shoes. If your shoes are too narrow, they will squeeze your feet and cause discomfort. If they are too wide, they will slip and slide off your feet, making it difficult to walk.

There are different ways to determine your shoe width. You can either use Feetsizr or measure the widest part of your foot manually with a tape measure, which is usually the ball of your foot, right below your toes. After measuring, consult a shoe width chart to find your corresponding shoe width.

Another way to determine your shoe width is to try on a pair of shoes that fit well. Look at the label on the tongue of the shoe to find the width. Normally, shoe brands use a standard width scale where each letter from D to EE represents something.

If you plan to order bespoke shoes, make sure to provide your shoe width to the shoemaker. The shoemaker will then create a pair of shoes that fit your feet perfectly.

To select the right shoe width, consider the following tips:

  • Your toes should have enough room to wiggle freely.
  • The widest part of your foot should fit comfortably in the widest part of the shoe.
  • Your heel should fit snugly in the heel cup of the shoe.
  • There should be no gaps between your foot and the shoe.

 

What Style of Shoes Do You Prefer?

When ordering bespoke shoes, it is important to choose a style that you love and that will suit your needs. There are many different styles of shoes to choose from, so it is helpful to think about what you will be using the shoes for and what your personal style is.

Here are some questions to consider when choosing the style of your bespoke shoes:

  • What will you be using the shoes for? Are you looking for a pair of shoes for everyday wear, for special occasions, or for a specific activity, such as running, meetings, weddings, etc.?

  • What is your personal style? Do you prefer classic or trendy shoes? Dressy or casual shoes? Neutral colors or bold patterns?

  • What kind of clothing do you typically wear? It is important to choose shoes that will complement your wardrobe.

Once you have considered these questions, you can start to narrow down your choices.

 

What Brand of Shoes Fits You Comfortably?

Knowing which brand and style of shoes have provided you with the most comfort in the past can greatly help us ensure the perfect fit for your custom-made shoes.

Shoe brands often have their own sizing standards, which can make it difficult to determine the right size for your bespoke footwear. However, by understanding the brand and style of the shoes that have previously fit you comfortably, we can guide you through these differences and ensure your custom-made shoes fit perfectly.

Nonetheless, this will help us understand the specific details of your comfortable shoes, such as cushioned insoles, arch support, or a specific material. This knowledge helps us incorporate similar elements into your bespoke footwear, making it even more comfortable for you.

Our skilled craftsmen can also provide tailored recommendations based on your preferred brand and style, ensuring that your custom-made shoes not only fit comfortably but also match your personal style and preferences.

 

What Colors and Patterns Do You Like?

Selecting the colors and patterns for your custom-made shoes is a pivotal decision. Your choice will serve as a reflection of your unique personal style, and it's essential to pick something that resonates with you and stands the test of time.

Moreover, opting for colors that complement your existing wardrobe and suit the occasion can significantly boost your self-confidence.

At Adorsi, we present you with a diverse array of options to cater to your unique preferences. Take a moment to reflect: Do you lean towards classic solid colors, a blend of vibrant hues, or perhaps the elegance of a patina finish?

If your inclination is towards colors, consider which combinations resonate most harmoniously with your personal style. No matter your selection, rest assured that we are delighted to offer you a range of choices that align with your vision and preferences.

 

Are There Any Specific Design Elements That You Are Interested In?

It is also important to think about the specific design elements that you are interested in. This will help us create a pair of shoes that is perfectly tailored to your individual needs and style.

Here are a few things to consider:

  • Lacing: Are you drawn to traditional lace-up shoes, or do you prefer a more contemporary look with buckles, straps, or even slip-on designs? The lacing style you choose can significantly impact the aesthetics and functionality of your bespoke shoes.

  • Stitching: Stitching can be used to add both decorative and functional elements to your shoes. For example, you might want a pair of shoes with contrast stitching for a more eye-catching look, or you might want hidden stitching for a more streamlined appearance.

  • Soles: The soles of your shoes are important for both comfort and performance. You will need to choose a sole material that is appropriate for the activities you will be using your shoes for.

For example, if you are looking for a pair of shoes for everyday wear, you will want a sole that is durable and provides good traction. If you are looking for a pair of shoes for running or hiking, you will want a sole that is lightweight and provides good cushioning.

  • Hardware: Hardware elements such as eyelets and speed hooks can also be used to add a personal touch to your shoes. For example, you might choose to have your initials engraved on the heel or opt for a unique color of eyelets.

By taking the time to consider the specific design elements that you are interested in, you can ensure that your bespoke shoes are everything you have ever wanted.

 

Do You Have a Foot Problem That Needs Any Specific Modification?

Do you have specific foot characteristics or issues that require special modifications? At Adorsi, we understand that every individual has unique feet, and our goal is to provide you with the finest shoes tailored to your precise needs.

Whether you have wide feet, flat feet, high arches, or any other specific foot shape or concern, we encourage you to share these details with us when placing your order.
