How to Design Your Own Shoe to Fit Your Foot

Having shoes that feel good is just as important as how they look on your feet. The best way to make sure that your shoes always have the proper fit is to get them custom-made. Your custom shoes will be measured to the exact details of your feet to make sure that you have a perfect fit. Having shoes custom-made can also express your unique sense of style. Designing your custom shoes starts with finding the right designer.

Things You'll Need

• Internet access

Instructions

1. Contact a customer shoe designer. If you aren't able to find one in your area, you can find custom shoe designers online. Websites like Fitallfeet.com and Exitshoes.com are good places to start.

2. Have your feet measured. The shoe designer that you're working with will take a detailed measurement of your foot. If you are using an online designer, the site will provide you with instructions on how to measure your feet properly.

3. Pick your shoes. Your designer will show you the different fabrics, colors and styles that they have available.Depending on the materials, custom shoes can cost anywhere from $200-$600. In some cases you may be able to provide the designer with your own design and they can make it from scratch.

Tips & Warnings

• Be aware of the materials. The kinds of materials used to make your shoes can greatly affect the end cost. Consider custom inserts if you're unable to find a shoe designer to meet all of your needs. These inserts will be measured to fit you feet and can be placed in any of your existing shoes.
