Custom Shoes · Toronto

Custom dress shoes in Toronto.
Made for your wardrobe.

Choose the style, leather and finish for work, weddings and occasions. Made-to-order shoes use stock sizes selected with a 3D foot scan. Bench-made bespoke shoes are built on a personal last made for your feet. Our made-to-order shoes are made in Valencia, Spain; our bespoke pairs are made by our specialist shoemaker. We guide the fit and choices for both at our Toronto atelier.

Two paths to your pair

Made-to-order or
bench-made bespoke?

Both let you personalise the style, leather and finish. Made-to-order uses an existing last and stock sizing; bespoke uses a personal last made for your feet. A last is the shaped form a shoe is built around.

Path 01 · Made-to-Order · from $600

Made-to-order.
Designed by you.

Personalise the style, leather, sole and finish. We use a 3D foot scan to guide the choice of an existing last and stock size. Made-to-order is available for men and women; it does not include a personal last.

01

Fifty styles, one of you

Oxfords, derbies, loafers, boots, and evening shoes, each customizable by leather, suede, sole, and finish across more than 100 materials. You design the pair at the atelier with the samples in front of you, and our guidance beside you.

02

A 3D scan to guide stock sizing

We scan your feet at the Toronto atelier and use that information to guide stock-size selection. The scan helps us assess sizing; it does not make the shoe bespoke. Your chosen pair is machine-made to order in Valencia with Goodyear-welted construction. Allow about five weeks.

Path 02 · Bench-Made Bespoke · from $2,200

Bench-made bespoke.
A last of your own.

Bespoke starts with a last made for your feet: the shaped form around which the shoe is built. We take eight measurements and drawings of each foot for our shoemaker, then assess a fitting shoe before the final pair is made. Currently available for men.

01

Your feet, on paper.

8 measurements and drawings of each foot give the shoemaker the starting point for your personal last.

02

The fitting shoe proves the last

A fitting shoe is made on your personal last and tried on before the final pair is built. This lets us assess the fit and identify adjustments. A first bespoke commission typically involves two to three visits, including this fitting stage.

03

Hand welted, with a personal shoe tree

Your shoes are made by hand and hand-welted. A custom lasted shoe tree is included to support their shape between wears. Welted construction allows the soles to be replaced when needed.

Bench-made commissions begin with a conversation at the atelier, about your feet, your wardrobe, and what the pair is for.

Made to your commission

Our made-to-order shoes are made in Valencia, Spain. Our bespoke shoes are made by our specialist shoemaker on a personal last. We guide both commissions at our Toronto atelier.

Welted construction

Welted construction allows the sole to be replaced when needed, helping you care for the shoes over time.

Fitted in Toronto

Your feet are read at the atelier, by scan or by hand, and every choice is guided in person before anything is made.

Custom by style

Choose the style, leather, sole and finish with us. Made-to-order uses an existing last shape; bespoke adds a last made for your feet.

Hand-painted patina

Our signature patina finishing builds colour in layers for depth no factory dye can imitate. Ask for it on either path.

Paired with your tailoring

Commission shoes alongside a suit or tuxedo and we match them to the cloth on the table, not from memory.

Questions, Answered

Before you take the first step

Are custom dress shoes the same as bespoke shoes?

Custom can describe choices in style, leather and finish. Our made-to-order shoes offer those choices using stock sizing and an existing last. Our bench-made bespoke shoes go further: a personal last is made for your feet, with a fitting shoe used to assess the fit before the final pair is built.

Do you make orthopaedic shoes or replace orthotics?

Our custom shoe offering is for dress and lifestyle footwear. It is not an orthopaedic footwear service, and our bespoke shoes are not a replacement for prescribed orthotics.

How much do custom shoes cost in Toronto?

Made-to-order shoes start at $600, using stock sizing with your choice of style, leather and finish. Bench-made bespoke shoes start at $2,200, with a personal last, a fitting shoe and a custom lasted shoe tree. We confirm the final price before you commission.

How many appointments do bench-made bespoke shoes require?

A first bench-made bespoke shoe commission typically involves 2–3 visits, including measurements and a fitting shoe stage before the finished pair is made. This is specific to bench-made bespoke shoes, rather than stock-sized made-to-order shoes.

How long do custom shoes take?

Made-to-order shoes take about 5 weeks; bench-made bespoke about 10 weeks including the fitting shoe stage. If your shoes need to arrive with a suit or tuxedo for a wedding or event, tell us the date at your first appointment and we will plan both timelines together.

Do you make custom shoes for women?

Yes, made-to-order shoes are available for men and women, in the same 50 styles and 100+ materials, sized from a 3D scan. Bench-made bespoke shoes are currently available for men.

How do you get the sizing right?

For made-to-order, a 3D scan helps us select from stock sizes and existing last shapes. The scan does not create a personal last. For bespoke, measurements and drawings of each foot inform a personal last, followed by a fitting shoe to assess the fit before making the final pair.

What is a hand-painted patina?

Patina is colour applied to the leather by hand, in layers, after the shoe is made. It gives the leather a depth and gradation factory dyeing cannot reproduce, and because it is painted by hand, no two pairs come out the same. Available on both paths.
