It is common these days to simply buy ready-made shoes that suits one’s needs and that is not a bad idea; but made to order shoes can serve better purpose than ready made shoes for many reasons.
-
They can match your specific taste, quality, design, texture and aesthetics. Imagine ordering a shoe with a specific type of leather, sole or design. To order a custom made shoe is the way to go especially for special occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, red carpets and so on.
-
Custom made shoes can be unique to you, thus, offering a relief from the mass production craze that dominates the shoe market today. Shoe makers on average make a average of 2500 copies of the same shoe, making it certain that many people out-there have the same shoe design as you. A bad idea on occasions when you want to look special and unique.
-
Made to order shoes are more fitting and fashionable because the focus is on your specific size, taste, themes and colour; the same way a new haircut looks on you.
-
Finally, custom made shoes are usually stronger and tend to have better quality that lasts longer than mass produced shoes.
