Seeing more and more ads for such shoes online. Order your shoe and its built from scratch. Wondering if legit.

See a lot of ads for custom athletic shoes.

Custom dress shoes are nice (and you can resole them forever if you keep them on shoe trees and don't wear them every day).

Doesnt really sound like custom custom, but more like getting it your way from their options.

Not a new concept. I have a pair of Luchesse boots, and Chacco sandals made like this.

I’ve had a couple of pairs of New Balance running shoes made, ~$200/pair as I recall. You can pick all sorts of color combinations, I didn’t care about that part of it.

I wouldn’t do it again, I know what exact size my feet are and the type of shoes I like now.

I've had made to order shoes from Rancourt but they weren't custom per se. I just picked one of their styles.

Had some shoes made when I was stationed in Korea but they made my feet bark.

Lovelace Boots .com in Oklahoma City. Just had 3 pair of mismatched shoe made for wife. They are pricey. 700$ a pair entry cost. There are no std sizes. Each one is made from a foot mold

Twice. I had Nikes custom made that we're perfect! I had leather dress shoes made from TG Shoes in Montreal and everything about them was wrong and he wouldn't make them good!!

And yet you seem shocked. Never trust anyone who speaks French.

When visiting the amalfi coast last summer I blew a flop on the beach. Luckily, there was a guy weaving flip flops in the town up the hill in Positano Most uncomfortable flops I’ve ever purchased and they were “custom made for my feet”

Any dress shoe that has a price that doesn’t make you blanche is likely made to measure, not truly custom/bespoke.

Sounds like you're referring to "Made to Order" / made to measure.
