- Choose Your Style
- Take Your Measurements
- Place Your Order
We recognise that some individuals have uniquely shaped feet—whether they are exceptionally small, wide, large, or affected by medical conditions such as high arches. Purchasing an off-the-shelf shoe is often not a suitable option, especially when seeking a refined, elegant leather dress shoe. At Poyter, we combine cutting-edge technology with years of artisanal expertise to craft bespoke, made-to-measure shoes tailored precisely to your foot’s dimensions.
Without the need for a shop visit, our entire process is designed for your convenience, allowing you to create your bespoke shoes from the comfort of your home. Simply provide your exact foot measurements along with a few photographs, and our skilled artisans will carefully assess your needs. We will then confirm the details and offer a quote based on the required customisations. And with our full “recreate or refund” guarantee, if the shoe doesn’t fit, we’ll ensure you’re completely satisfied.
How These Custom Shoes Are Made!
Check out this concise 8-minute video for a complete walkthrough of how our custom-made, made-to-measure shoes are crafted. The video covers the entire process, from initial measurements to the final product, showcasing the meticulous hand welting and Goodyear construction techniques. You’ll gain insight into the craftsmanship behind each pair, the attention to detail in every step, and how we ensure a perfect fit tailored specifically to your feet.
The Art of Custom Fitting
At Poyter Shoes, we’ve mastered the art of creating the perfect fitting shoe without the need for an in-store visit. Adapted during COVID, our innovative process allows customers to enjoy a bespoke fit from the comfort of their own home. With just a few simple foot measurements and photos, our advanced internal algorithm precisely calculates the ideal last shape and size to match your unique foot dimensions. Thanks to our years of expertise and cutting-edge technology, we’ve achieved an impressive 1% size reject rate over the last five years, ensuring every pair fits perfectly.
To be able to create a made to measure shoe, our artisans will need at least these three measurements (along with the pictures) to start with. All measurements need to be taken with your socks on.
- Foot length (see diagram above)
- Ball Girth (see diagram above)
- Instep Girth (see diagram above)
Supporting Information: We will also need the below information to help us assess the work involved.
- What normal shoe size you wear?
- Pictures of your foot measurements while the measuring tape is still on (both feet).
- Any brands that you currently wear (and the size)
- Pictures of your barefoot (front, top, and side)

At Poyter Shoes, we are committed to more than just high-quality leather and craftsmanship — we guarantee a perfect fit. If your shoes don’t fit as expected, we offer a full-refund guarantee, no questions asked.

Your satisfaction is our priority, and we ensure every pair of shoes meets your expectations for comfort and fit.
Prototypes of Popular Styles
Wide feet and made to measure work best with Poyter’s wide and rounded toe last. A Derby is more comfortable and works best for the high-arch feet. You can explore our wide-fit shoe styles, which we typically produce in black, brown, and tan. However, if you have a specific colour or style in mind, we’re happy to accommodate — just contact us to discuss your custom requirements!
NOTE: The shoes displayed here are not the final product but rather prototypes to showcase the design for the finished product.
