Bespoke, custom handmade Golf shoes by http://www.adlershoes.com

The main and obvious drawback used to be the cost. Golf as a sport has broadened its participant base and has moved from a highly exclusive past time to a still up-market, but much more accessible sport of the upper middle classes. The differences today are mostly expressed by the kind of club one is a member of and its entrance as well as annual membership fee. Custom made Golf shoes as offered by companies the likes of “John Lobb” of London, charge you Sterling 3,000.00 for a pair and you will have to wait nearly a year for them. The only alternative for the avid, but not super-rich Golfer was to resort to plastic and rubber Footjoy’s  or Addidas Golf sneekers.
Not anymore, now, well since a few years already, there is a niche serving company called ADLER shoes on the market that has developed a whole new concept of bespoke, custom made shoes, including Golf shoes.

ADLER ships each customer who places an order a “casting set” which the customer can use him/her-self and create perfect molds of their feet. The system is not only very easy but also takes only a few minutes of the customer’s time. At its heart is a especially developed take by ADLER that is made of plastic and is very easy to wrap around one foot. It cures within 6 minutes or so, remains flexible and does not brake when handled. ADLER has moved way past the old gypsum casts of former days.

The customer sends the finished casts back to ADLER and they then produce an 100% accurate cast of the customers feet from which they can obviously make perfect lasts.

No shop outlets but 100% online, ADLER passes the savings on to the customers and is the only company offering bespoke, custom handmade Golf shoes for as little as US$ 590.00 or Sterling 390.00 with no extra charge for making the last.

The only drawback is that a full leather sole in Golf shoes needs a little more care and shoule be treated with some sole-oil now and again.
