What is selve – The Shoe Individualizer?

selve uniquely sells ‘semi-bespoke’ shoes.

Semi – bespoke describes a process positioned mid-way between bespoke (where the shoemaker carves a wooden last of the foot before making the shoe) and a conventional ready to wear shoe store.
Semi bespoke shoes can be made to order in up to 40 different size variations and enables an individual to design many aspects of their selected shoe style.
Shoes are handmade. Delivery is 5 weeks for shoes and 6 weeks for boots

Measuring & Fitting

To commence the process it is necessary for customers to visit us.

selve is a personal fitting service, we operate on an appointment basis. The duration of a typical first-time appointment is 1 hour.

For customers wishing to place subsequent orders these can be made by telephone or in person.

Is there a charge for the consultation?

No and there is no pressure to buy.

How does the selve process work?

selve has its own unique measuring system, which means we can offer far more sizes than a conventional shoe store – therefore the chances of finding a comfortable fit are considerably enhanced.
Step 1
Feet are measured at 5 points using a digital foot scanner so that we can gain an understanding of the customer’s foot characteristics.
Step 2
Your measurements are compared against our library of lasts and our software progamme then recommends the shoe size(s) for each foot.
Step 3
We have one shoe style in every size and width fitting available for trying on. Fit is subjective and therefore several shoes maybe tried before we and the customer are happy the sizing is accurate.
Step 4
The fun part – The customer selects their preferred shoe style. There is a choice of heel, colour, leather or suede, lining colour and sole (leather or rubber). The styles featured on the website together with others are all on display for trying on and inspiration.
