Bespoke 'Dyfi' Lace Up Shandals®

Our Lace up Shandals® are world renown for its benefits in strengthening the toes, ankles, legs and hips through the alignment of your toes - particularly when you have a bunion as the arch tends to collapse inwards. Read more about Shandals® here. 

To order a pair bespoke made to you, you will need to measure your feet, following our guidance here.

These Shandals® will be made from our limited edition, locally tanned leather all hand tanned in Jane Robertson’s micro tannery just down the road from us in Machynlleth.

Jane uses traditional methods with only 4 ingredients - Bracken, Tree bark (Oak, Willow Alder and Spruce), Willow and Water. It’s full of natural character and each pair is has a completely unique finish. The tree barks are harvested by hand and boiled to extract the tannin. Once the skins sit in bark tannins for a few months - the skins are then boiled using vegetable oils, beeswax and pine resin/birch tar which are harvested from the Dyfi valley.

The uppers have rolled edges and are fully lined in soft sheepskin also hand tanned by Jane.

Ordering bespoke means we will make your Shandals® to fit you. You can select your size from the drop down below, we will then ask for your measurements. Once we have your measurements we will send you a ‘fitting’ pair of shoes from stock so you can try some on and decide what you would like changing on your pair. We talk/email about the changes needed, you can send photos or a video and we can discuss the changes.

The 5mm soles flexible leather innersoles are tanned in England. They are finished with rubber tyre tread soles which are flexible and grippy to give extra durability, fully resole-able when they wear down.

All our shoes and boots are designed to fit your unique foot shape, built to last and repairable when the soles wear down, giving them a new lease of life for decades to come.

Please Note:
If you are having your feet measured in person we charge £45 fitting on top of the bespoke price of our shoes.
If you are ordering our shoes remotely we may need to send out a fitting pair, or several fitting pairs of our shoes to make sure we get your bespoke pair absolutely perfect. This involves looking through our stock, spending time corresponding with you over any details, sending leather swatches etc so may incur extra postage costs and/or fitting charge which we will bill you for at the end of the process.

We will always keep you informed as to how much this may cost and give you a clear breakdown as some people have extreme complications with their feet and if you live internationally postage costs may vary.
