Custom Made Shoes - The first steps

Assessing your foot

The first step to the perfect fit is a thorough understanding of your unique foot structure. You may be looking for a timeless pair of fine bespoke boots for entirely healthy feet, or you might need a professional assessment for specific podiatric concerns. Whatever your needs, the experienced orthopaedic footwear specialists at Sleeshoes are highly skilled in craft and care, providing expert solutions for all medical foot conditions.

After evaluating your feet, we can go into finer detail

We don't work from a mass-produced catalogue or generic styles. Every pair of shoes created in our Yorkshire workshop is built completely from scratch. 

  • Detailed Foot Anatomy Study: We take precise structural measurements of your feet to identify exact pressure points, volume needs, and pain triggers. 

  • Bespoke Last Creation: We hand-sculpt a pair of custom lasts—exact physical models of your feet—ensuring your shoes mirror your unique shape perfectly. 

  • Integrated Medical Support: If required, we seamlessly build orthopaedic insoles, heel elevation, and stabilization structures directly into your footwear design. 

  • Your Design, Your Way: Show us a photo or bring an old favorite pair of shoes. You pick the premium leathers, stitching styles, and finishes you want to wear.
