Price Guide

Made to measure boots cost upwards of £1,000 depending on the amount of work involved. At least two factory visits are required. An estimated breakdown of costs is given below. For subsequent boots made on the same last (last must have been purchased by customer), the cost for building the last will be deducted, so only hand cutting, sole making, midsole and footbed costs will apply.

Building a Last	Based on the customers drawings	£400-600
Purchase of Last	Last is held for 3 months after fitting. If not purchased within this time it will be remodelled for other work. We will include purchase of the last in your quotation. The last remains the property of the customer but is kept at the factory.	£150
Cutting Patterns & Uppers	The customers upper patterns are developed based on the made to measure last and the upper is cut.	£60-100
Cutting Patterns & Midsoles	A made to measure last requires a specific midsole to match the outline shape. The midsole will be moulded to match the pitch of the last.	£25-45
Cutting Patterns & Making the Sole	A sole is made to match the last and give correct heel pitch and toe spring.	£45-75
Cutting Patterns for the Footbed	A footbed is made to go inside under the foot. This is moulded to the last profile.	£20-40
Heel Orthotics	It is normally necessary to use an "off the shelf" heel orthotic with the footbed to achieve foot stabilisation for fitting.	£20-40
Cutting & Fitting Individual Sponges, Felts & Reinforcements	These are cut by hand with patterns if necessary and fitted into the upper to meet specific customer need.	£20-50
Taking Drawings	There is no charge for the initial consultation and visual assessment - if the customer decides to proceed drawings will be taken (two hours). If the customer decides not to proceed after drawings have been taken - there is a cancellation charge of £60 to cover the time taken for drawings.	£60 cancellation charge for drawings

The above are intended only as a guide to our costs breakdown - a verbal guide quotation will be given once visual assessment has been completed. Once the drawings have been completed a full written and costed quotation will be provided.

Made to measure boots are only made on a non-refundable basis. The senior bootmaker will give an estimate of fitting improvement during the assessment . We normally anticipate a fitting improvement of 60-80%. We would not anticipate a 100% improvement, because an element of the fitting problem will always be related to biomechanical/foot movement issues, and a made to measure boot may help, but it will not necessarily completely solve these issues. Final decision to proceed with an order (or not) is entirely with the customer.
