Customisation options

Almost all shoes that are made-to-order on Sanctum Shoes can also be custom made to measure. Please note that only models for the Sanctum brand can be customized! 

Made-to-order vs. made-to-measure

Regular options like shoe size and colour will do for most shoe lovers. Our made-to-order shoes have options for exterior, interior colour, material, sole colour and choice of material. While these options will probably make you happy for sandals and pumps, you may want more customization for your leather boots. 

The best way to enjoy your leather boots is to have them made to measure to the exact size of your ankle, calf and thigh.

There are lot's of options to make boots to measure. Please make a choice of your preferred model from our shop first and then contact us. Send us your measurements (see below how to take your sizes) and tell us what you are looking for. We try to find the factory that can make your boots.
