Bespoke Custom Shoemaking Process

At the heart of our shoemaking process lies the last, a crucial element carefully crafted to match each customer's unique foot measurements and style preferences. Using traditional techniques and century-old tools passed down through generations, we meticulously carve, rasp, and sand each last by hand. This detailed process considers foot mechanics and heel height to ensure unparalleled quality and comfort. Our commitment to time-honored craftsmanship guarantees exceptional, custom-fit footwear for every customer.

Pattern making is a critical step in our shoemaking process, involving the creation of precise paper patterns for the upper, heel, sole, insole, and stiffeners. Using the Lunati pattern making technique, our designs ensure perfect sizing and detailed craftsmanship. Eugo Gombosed’s expertise allows for innovative and accurate patterns, and his skill in selecting the ideal leather based on weight and pliability guarantees both aesthetic appeal and high performance in every shoe.

Clicking involves cutting leather into precise pieces based on the design and patterns, while skiving thins the leather edges for easier sewing and a refined appearance. The upper part of the shoe is then meticulously sewn together. Eugo employs traditional techniques to ensure perfect cuts and stitches, maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship.

Lasting involves shaping the shoe by pulling the upper over the last, a highly skilled and complex process. The traditional English method of welted sole stitching is then employed, with each stitch meticulously sewn by hand—up to 16 stitches per inch—using premium vegetable-tanned sole leather from Germany. This craftsmanship, impossible to replicate in factory-made shoes, ensures superior quality. Eugo adheres to his grandfather’s traditional techniques throughout, guaranteeing each shoe is crafted with exceptional care and precision.
