Made To Measure Service?

Dr._Shoe

Like a growing number of other women I have feet larger than the standard maximum size 8. Fortunately I'm "only" a 9 but this is still too large to get into your typical designer shoes.

I have always wanted a pair of shoes by Christian Louboutin who supposedly offers a "made to measure" service with a premium.

So I called them to make an appointment and told them the style I was interested in only to be told that they don't do them that big!

This is not what I call a made to measure service!

Don't know if it'll help, but there is a shop in Bath specialising in larger ladies shoes http://www.after8shoes.co.uk/ They're legit, walked past them every day for 9 years (not having any need if their services myself), always fresh stuff, etc.

As you say, poor show on the 'made to measure' service if it's anything more than a marketing slogan. Mind you, I investigated genuine handmade to measure footwear from Ducker in Oxford maybe 15 years ago... Truly bespoke footwear ran back then to £1300, can't imagine it's got cheaper ;-)

Christian Louboutin does go up to a 42

What style are you looking for?

A 42 isn't a 9 though.
