Handmade Shoes

Handmade shoes can be a luxury or they can be a necessity, but in either case, handmade shoes can be heavenly in both look, comfort, and functionality. Handmade shoes can be custom shoes or just some of the finest shoes already out there in the shoe market. Handmade shoes can be orthopedic in nature or inspired by fashion and style. This is not to say that handmade orthopedic shoes can't express the height of the newest and most exciting fashion trends, because they can. Part of the beauty of custom designed, handmade orthopedic shoes is that they can not only serve their orthopedic purpose, but they can be designed with an artistic flair that pleases the wearer and impresses the onlooker. But the best thing about handmade orthopedic shoes is that they are able to correct a problem for some people in their walking or their comfort that their unconventional feet require. Many people with truly misshapen feet can enjoy the comfort that most people take for granted when these individuals are able to get custom fit, handmade shoes.

Handmade shoes are not made differently from manufactured shoes except that they are designed and assembled on a one at a time basis and usually on a one of a kind basis. The materials are similar to mass produced shoes, but handmade shoes are apt to be made of the finest of materials because if someone is paying the price for a pair of custom handmade shoes, you can be sure they want those shoes to be made from the best available materials and of materials that will last a long time. Also handmade shoes are often made in such a way that they can easily be repaired so that the life of the handmade shoes is often longer than the life of mass marketed shoes.

Sometimes handmade shoes aren't necessarily of better quality than manufactured shoes. Take for instance a sandal maker at a crafts bazaar. He maybe threw together a pile of sandals without a lot of care to how they will fit or how well they will wear. Perhaps these handmade shoes are pure junk that this sandal maker threw together for a quick profit and didn't even pay attention to the proportions in sizing these handmade shoes. But the likelihood of this happening seems small as someone who has the skills to make handmade shoes probably takes some pride in the handmade shoes that he or she produces.

Handmade shoes are often par for the course in the entertainment industry. There are two reasons for this. first of all, celebrities have the spending cash to put out in order to acquire exquisite handmade shoes and they can allow themselves that indulgence. Also for the standpoint of stage and screen, there is often a demand for lots of pairs of special shoes for a production and often getting custom handmade shoes is the only way to outfit a cast or to create a certain look in various costumes. So there are many reasons for getting handmade shoes. All important to the person who will be wearing them...
