Test/Fitting shoes
For those who order my Aurum shoes or Bespoke, I provide a fitting shoe before I make the client's final shoes. This fitting shoe is based on the client's measurements and on the kind of toe shape and length he wants. I make a personalised last for the client and then make a Blake stitched fitting shoe on the new last. This fitting shoe is something that the client can wear to work, it is a finished shoe. Once the client has fitted and worn the test shoe and there are little/no adjustments needed, I then proceed to make the final shoe.
nb. The fitting shoes do not have the interior work of my Aurum shoes, such as finer toepuffs and heel counters etc.
