Shoes made
for one person
Any model from our collection can be made your way — in a different leather, with a different lift, with different finishes.
Traditional craft,
your decisions
Faretti works the way shoemaking has always been done: from the last, by hand, pair after pair. That method has one advantage over series production — something can be changed at every stage.
Write and tell us what you would like to change. You will get an individual quote and a summary of everything agreed before anything goes into production.
What you can change
Leather colour
- You can point to the colour of another Faretti model as a reference
Insole
- Logo removed
- Insole lined with a material other than the one used on the model
Finishes
- Removing or adding elements from another model — a buckle in place of lacing, for instance
- Moving a decorative band on the upper from one model to another
Height of the lift
- Raising the hidden lift by 1 cm
- Lowering the hidden lift by 1 cm
Laces
- Change of lace colour
Everything else is quoted case by case. If you have an idea that is not on the list, write to us and we will see whether it can be done.
How it works
You write to us
You give us the model, the size and the list of changes. WhatsApp is quickest.
You get a quote
We send the price and everything agreed back in writing. Production starts only once you approve.
We make the pair
The shoes are built by hand, to your specification.
We ship
The finished pair goes to the address you give, by courier with tracking.
That is how long it takes to build a pair from scratch for one person. This is not stock off a shelf — which is why we ask for patience, and why every pair is one of a kind.
Lead time
60 working days from approval of the quote
Deposit
50% of the order value before production starts, the balance before dispatch
Returns
Made-to-order pairs cannot be returned
Let's design your pair
Write and tell us what you would like to change. We reply Monday to Friday, 9:00–19:00.

A made-to-order pair is goods made to your specification. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, bespoke goods are exempt from the 14-day right to cancel, and our usual 60-day returns policy does not apply to them. This does not affect your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in respect of faulty goods.
