many advertise, offering bespoke shoes on the internet, but if you look closer you will find that most offer nothing but mix & match shoes. Others offer handmade shoes “Goodyear welted” in which case the term “handmade” refers to a person holding the shoes while stitching them on a “Goodyear welting” machine which was invented by Mr. Goodyear to automate the production of welted shoes.
True, handmade, bespoke shoes are rarely found and if, they will cost anywhere from £ 2,000.00 up to £5,000.00 for a pair and are only affordable by the very rich.
ADLER shoes has developed a totally new system and for the first time, truly bespoke, custom made shoes are available for the general public at prices starting from £ 290.00, not more than you would expect to pay for a decent pair of “off the rack” shoes at your better High Street shop.
ADLER has simply done away with all the expensive trimmings usually associated with high end shoe shops and ventured totally onto the internet. This major change alone reduced the cost factor by a massive percentage since no more personnel was needed to man an highly expensive shop location in New York or London’s high end city centers. This was only possible with the ADLER invention of a completely new measuring system which the customer can do him/herself at home instead of having to visit the shop to have someone do it for them. It is actually not a measuring system at all, but a casting tape to be wrapped around ones feet which retains a perfect cast of ones feet. This is send back to the ADLER offices by the customer. ADLER then proceeds and produces the customers last.
This new system is in fact far more accurate than any measurements taken by an assistant in a shop since the end result is a perfect cast of your feet with all “nooks and crannies”.
Another advantage ADLER has achieved with their new system is to be able to source the very best materials, like top quality Italian calf hide and establish production locations all over the world, where highly skilled craftsmen are more readily available than for example in London where the art of the cobbler is slowly dying out.
In all, the ADLER customer can expect perfectly fitting bespoke, custom made shoes or boots at prices that were until recently unthinkable. The selection of different models available on their website is also far greater than from any other bespoke cobbler and even greater than you would find at any otr shoe shop anywhere.
