Are you planning to have your shoes made from your old clothes? Do you wish to know whether your new shoes will arrive on time for a special occasion? In this page, we answer the most frequently asked questions.
  • Can you make shoes from my fabric?

    We can use the fabrics you provide within certain requirements. Robust and firm fabrics are most suitable, but sometimes thin and stretchy fabrics can also be used with interlining. We need approximately a pillowcase worth of fabric. The leather should be appropriate for shoemaking.

  • Can I wear my shoes outside?

    Of course! We wear our shoes almost everywhere.

  • My shoes got wet. What should I do?

    You should let your shoes dry out properly before you use them next time.

  • I have problem feet. Can I have shoes made with my specific measures?

    We manufacture our shoes on  our pre-existing lasts. The size range is great, depending on the model, from 33 to 47. If you have different sized feet, it’s possible to use different sized lasts. If you need orthopaedic insoles, we can leave room for them. Lifts are possible also, but I cannot make changes to the lasts. 

  • Do you make vegan shoes?

    Yes. We can make shoes using fabrics only. We don’t use faux leather though, because it’s not durable enough and problematic environmentally.

  • How long will it take for my shoes to arrive?

    Your news hoes should arrive in three weeks, but seasonality may affect delivery time.
