Tom Ford "Made-To-Measure" Shoes













If the shoe fits, wear it. If not, design one. For those with individual or exacting taste and with money to spare. Tom Ford's new "Made-To-Measure" shoe allows its customers to customize their own pair, from one of any 18 styles - from lace-ups to loafers and they can also choose from 14 different kinds of calf leather, suede and not to mention crocodile skin.












If that's not enough, you can add either a monogram or have your signature engraved on the inside. The entire shoe making process takes an estimated three-months because the shoe-to-be and shoe maker needs time in between each of the six layers of polish. So far, the measuring service is only available in Tom Ford's flagship store in New York and Milan. The starting price for the made-to-measure shoe is $3,500.
