What’s the process?

Once you have your idea and decide you would like a pair of custom or bespoke sneakers from me, here is what I need from YOU to get started.

step 1

Please fill out this initial contact form with your personal details, as well as a detailed description of what you would like done. This would include: the base shoe details (brand, model, size, colour, name, etc), the timeline you would like the shoes completed by if necessary, and your detailed idea. Please make sure the email you submit is correct as it will be the one I respond to.

step 2

Once you have submitted your response, I will respond as quickly as possible, typically within 24-48 hours. From there, I will discuss your idea with you further where you will be able to send me any additional reference photos you may have. Once we have done this and I have a good foundation of what you’re asking for, upon request I can prepare a digital mock up of what your design will look like (please refer to my FAQ for details).

step 3

When we have finalized and confirmed the design & turnaround time, I will be able to generate a price of what your custom pair will cost. I typically ask for the full amount prior to starting a project, but I can be flexible to work with my clients needs.

step 4

Now I will bring your shoes to life within the given turnaround and provide you with updates along the way during the process. If at any point you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. When they are ready for shipping/pickup, I will be in touch to work out the details.

I ask that you take a look through my FAQ’s and read all the information on this page prior to inquiring about a custom pair. However, if you have any individual questions or concerns, I would be happy to address them for you!

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IF MY SHOES ARE DAMAGED OR GO MISSING?2024-07-10T17:15:26-04:00

Once I have shipped the shoes, I can no longer be held accountable for any damage or misplacement of the shoes. There will be photos taken prior to the shipment of the shoes and you will be provided a tracking number as well.

However, If the shoes are damaged in any way while still in my care, I will work with you to find a solution you are happy with.

WHAT IS YOUR RETURN POLICY?2024-07-10T17:15:38-04:00

I do not offer refunds, returns, or exchanges. All work is final sale as everything is custom and made to order.

DON’T SEE YOUR QUESTION?2024-07-10T17:15:48-04:00

Please feel free to email me your question via my contact form. Or for a quicker response, send me a DM on any one of my platforms and I will be happy to get back to you!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?2024-07-10T17:06:47-04:00

Prices will vary depending on the service requested. For custom artwork, colour blocking, and partial reconstruction, I have a base rate of $300 excluding the cost of the shoes. The larger, more detailed, and more complex the design, the more expensive it will be.

For bespoke footwear, my base rate is $800 as this service requires a much larger material cost.

Rates are set to increase depending on my skill set, material cost, and availability.

DOES THE PAINT COME OFF?2024-07-10T17:07:59-04:00

No! Every pair of custom shoes are made with care and years of experience to be fully wearable. You can enjoy them as much as you wish.

With that said, they are still an art piece and are not immune to expected wear and tear. Treating your shoes with care is a must in order to keep them in pristine condition.

A good rule of thumb is: “Whatever you wouldn’t do to your most expensive pair of shoes, don’t do to these.”

ARE THEY WATERPROOF?2024-07-10T17:08:33-04:00

Yes! Not only is the paint waterproof, but every pair is sealed with a finisher that locks in the design so they can be worn in any weather condition.

WHAT IS THE TURNAROUND TIME?2024-07-10T17:09:04-04:00

Currently, my turnaround time is 5-8 weeks for custom artwork, colour blocking, and partial reconstruction.

For bespoke footwear, the minimum turnaround is 6 weeks.

Turnaround times are set to change depending on my availability.

CAN YOU DO A RUSH ORDER?2024-07-10T17:09:33-04:00

Yes. I can accommodate a rush order with a short turnaround of 14 days or less. Please note that a fee will be applied depending on my availability at that time and also how short the turnaround must be.

CAN YOU DO A MOCK-UP?2024-07-10T17:09:55-04:00

Yes! A mock-up is a digital rendering of what your completed shoe will look like. Typically this will be very accurate to the final piece unless otherwise discussed.

I am happy to offer complimentary mock-ups for designs, however, please be advised that this will add to the turnaround time by 1-2 weeks depending on the editing required.

WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU USE?2024-07-10T17:10:18-04:00

All of the products that I use are designed specifically for leather. All of the painting I do is with either Angelus Direct, Alpha 6 Corp, or Jacquard. Different mediums can be added to these products in order to help them bond to multiple types of surfaces.

CAN YOU SHIP TO ____?2024-07-10T17:15:03-04:00

Yes. I offer tracked domestic, international, and worldwide shipping. The shipping rates are provided by the shipping company and will vary depending on location. Once an order is placed, I will be more than happy to provide you with the most flexible shipping option that suits your needs.

Please be advised for international and worldwide options, there may be customs & taxes due that are at the responsibility of the customer to pay.

DO YOU OFFER DROP-OFF/PICKUP SERVICES?2024-10-23T21:03:29-04:00

Yes, within the City of Toronto. Services are dependent on my availability and may require an additional fee depending on location.

I also offer curb side pickup which can be discussed during the ordering phase.
