Bespoke Men’s Shoes 

Shoes are the basis for a good appearance. Handmade bespoke shoes guarantee well-being with every step and are at the same time a perfect example of a sustainable product. Because bespoke shoes are still made exclusively in handicraft businesses today. No matter where and how big the workshop is, the working techniques, tools and raw materials are the same everywhere. Every craftsman has only one goal: the perfect shoe for his customer – whether boots, patent leather shoes or slippers.
‘Bespoke Men’s Shoes’ shows how a pair of shoes are made in the workshop of the Berlin bespoke shoemaker Korbinian Ludwig Hess is created – in all details, from raw lasts to finished polished shoes. In addition, the book offers a lot of interesting facts about shoe topics, fit and shoe care and provides important information and addresses for everyone who dreams of bespoke shoes.
