00:00 Bespoke Measuring Process Introduction
As menswear fans would know, bespoke shoes are superior as they’re handmade especially for a single person, resulting in a fine, dependable pair. Part one is all about taking measurements of the foot so the final result will be something that is comfortable and looks the part.
00:29 What Makes Bespoke Shoes Special?
Why spend thousands of dollars on a pair of bespoke shoes when you can also get a high-end pair of men’s shoes from a factory?
First of all, you get a custom fit that is unrivaled. Secondly, you can choose the exact details and styling that you would likely not get in a factory shoe. Last but not least, you invest in longevity because a bespoke shoe can be resold over and over again, thus bringing the cost-per-wear down considerably.
02:25 Amara Hark Weber: Our Commissioned Shoemaker
Amara Hark Weber from St Paul, Minnesota. Amara is not just a fabulous shoemaker, but also an artist and an educator. And I consider myself really lucky to have someone like her in my backyard because it’s anything but normal to have a bespoke shoemaker close by in the US.
04:15 Bespoke Shoe Fit
“Why do measurements matter if I know my shoe size and my shoes off-the-rack fit me perfectly well?”
Chances are you’ve probably never felt the bespoke fit of a shoe before because, at the end of the day, we’re all humans and no two feet are a hundred percent identical. You may think they’re the same size but, if you look closer, they’re definitely not. Also, a standard size from one manufacturer will be very different from the standard size from another. And, sometimes, even within the same company, different lasts have vastly different sizes.
06:09 5 Steps in Measuring: 1. Sitting for the Fitting
08:35 2. Time to Trace
09:36 3. Getting a Measure of Things
13:17 4. Searching for Sensitivities
14:35 5. Using a Pedograph
Again, different shoemakers may have different measurements; maybe they want to figure out the exact height of your toe-ball area so they can get it really close to your foot. And different makers just have different ways of doing things.
If you’re interested in even more detail and you want to see the full measurement process, become a patron and you can see this very special full video. Otherwise, episode two is all about bespeaking or designing a pair of bespoke shoes.
