Common questions

Can I still place a made-to-order during the break?

Yes. Our website remains open and we will still accept made-to-order requests throughout August. They simply won't begin production until our workshop reopens on 24 August.

Will in-stock items still be dispatched?

Yes. Any shoes we hold in stock will continue to be dispatched as normal throughout the break.

What if I need shoes for a competition in September?

If your event is in early September, you must place your order on or before 25 June. Orders placed in August will not be ready until late September or early October.
