CAN I BE MY OWN FASHION DESIGNER?

T.O.DEY has a special department staffed by Master Craftsman who can hand-craft your designs. If you can imagine it T.O.Dey can build it.

WHAT IF MY FEET ARE TWO DIFFERENT SIZES?

Not a problem! We make each last to fit the individual foot. Even if you're feet are extremely different. The style and the shoe will look exactly the same since they are custom made to the measurements of your feet.

CAN MORE THAN ONE STYLE BE MADE ON THE SAME LAST?

Yes, you can make many styles on the same last. For example you can make walking shoes, golf shoes, hiking boots and many casual shoes on the same last. The only limitation is the heel height and the toe shape. If you want a different heel height or a different toe shape you can have another last made. (Example round, square or pointed)

HOW MANY PAIRS OF SHOES CAN BE MADE ON A LAST?

You can make hundreds of shoes on the same last. The fit and size will always be the same.

WILL MY PRESCRIPTION ORTHOTIC FIT INTO MY CUSTOM MADE SHOES?

Yes. Your lasts are designed to leave enough room for your orthotics to fit inside your shoes, or T.O.Dey can build the orthotic into the shoe.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET MY CUSTOM MADE SHOES?

The set-up and processing of your first order can take 7 to 10 weeks. Once you have your own shoe last, orders can be processed in approximately 5 weeks. CUSTOM MADE ONLY FOR YOU. It is unlike any other shoe. When we make a custom shoe we take into account all the special requirements you asked for or may need. Many of our clients simply want to be more comfortable or they may have a hard time finding shoes that fit, some simply just want to copy their favorite shoe.

I DO NOT LIVE IN NEW YORK, HOW DO I GO ABOUT PLACING AN ORDER WITH YOU?
