Our Made to Order turn around is 8-10 weeks. If for any reason your made to order will take longer we will let you know at the time of ordering before payment.

Bespoke shipping cost is included in your quoted price and at no additional cost to you.

After your enquiry we will send you a measuring guide to provide us with your foot length in CM to help with this process. Our sneakers are all handmade in our London studio and have not been subject to testing.
