Custom Order
At Alexandria Wills Shoemaking Studio we create custom shoes, handbags, brand samples, leather accessories, and so much more. We work with clients based on an idea that they want to bring to life. Our process starts with an in-person or email consultation to understand the scope of your project.
Custom Shoes
All custom shoes start with in-person measurements. Then, a shoe last is made to fit your foot measurements. A shoe last is the shoe form that we use to craft your shoes. It is determined by the type of shoe that you would like to create, and your own unique measurements. This shoe last can be used to remake the same style of shoe in the future or any similar silhouette of that design. Once we have the last in-hand we begin to craft a “fit pair” to test the fit of the shoe last to your feet. This allows us to make any additional measurements to the shoe last before producing your final design. After the fit pair, we start production of your final shoe design with your choice of materials. We have a wide range of leathers available in-store for you to choose from and are able to source just about any material you would like
Customization
Altering a shoe that you already have? The list is endless for what you can do with customizations to shoes. We have altered many wedding shoes, added monograms to leather items (shoes, wallets, luggage tags, baby shoes), offer shoe stretching, and even added leather patch designs. Reach out with your design idea to get started.
