You can order whichever colours or skins you like in what ever order. Made to measure, then choose your laces (you get a spare pair too - I chose leather tipped for both in the lightest colour on the shoes) personalise them. They will also build up the arches or put in an extra leather sock. The shoes come with their own wooden shoe-trees, cleaning kit, including 2 wooden brushes, leather shoe horn, leather covered wooden box with a varnished lid...averagejoe, I think you need a pair too :graucho:

Only drawback they took the best part of the year to make, so you may need a spare pair :laugh:

Oh! I didn't know that you could customize them to this extent.

May I please ask how much they cost, and how much time it took from the time you ordered to the time you received the shoes?

Thanks!

I ordered mine when Frida G was still on the throne. I need to check this still holds true under Alessandro Michele but I think so as when I was there and I was talking about a possible future peoples heads were nodding etc so...

They start at around £1.5K and go up depending of which model of shoe and skins are chosen. It sounds a lot, but considering what bespoke cost elsewhere it's not bad (although some of those places include making your own foot last) it includes such gorgeous extras, including the amazingly handsome leather covered box.

They take 4-6 months but if they need further adjustments it can take a few more months, they need to fit perfectly as these are really 'shoes for life'. Gucci will look after them when they need repairs or resoling etc.

The procedure:
Choose model
Be measured for model
Choose leather(s)/skins/colours
Choose laces or hardware colour/finish depending on model
Choose where you'd like your monogram
Any special instructions

They give you all the creams, cloths and brushes you need for the colours/skins etc, the wooden shoe trees are specific to the size and width fitting. Everything has the MtoM Bespoke Guccio Gucci script signature

PM me if you need any more info ;)

Thanks PaperTiger! The price is great for made-to-measure, but they would be the priciest shoes I've ever purchased!

Huge congrats! They are a stunning pair! Even from the pics, I can tell the craftsmanship that went to creating those shoes. Have you worn them out yet?

Thanks GhstDreamer

The most amazing shoes I've ever seen or worn, but then I think proper men's shoes are constructed better than most ladies anyway.

It's been non-stop rain here so I haven't worn them out out, apart from a walk in the park. My SA told me that for the first couple of days of wearing out to pick dry days until the leather soles have built a barrier on the leather and are no longer porous. I hope I explained that correctly ha ha :D.

I learned something new! I ruined quite a few brand new leather soled shoes by wearing them when the pavement was still wet. Thanks for the advice!
