Made to Order FAQs
How long will it be before I receive my Made to Order shoes?
Generally speaking, the handmade shoe-making process takes time. No element of your made-to-order shoe has been mass-produced, and there are countless steps the cobblers must follow to complete these one-of-a-kind shoes.
Once your order has been received, we’ll confirm how long it will take to complete. We aim to have your hand-crafted shoes ready to ship in six to eight weeks. This estimate doesn’t include shipping time – this factor depends on the preferred shipping method that you choose at checkout. For orders placed via ShopRunner, their standard 2-day shipping will apply after the order is ready to ship. Should you live locally, you may also schedule a time to pick them up from our Esquivel House showroom.

How can I ensure the right size?
In the first stages of the made-to-order process, a consultant will be instrumental in helping you to determine your best size for the shoe in question. We’ll likely ask you to try on your standard size as well as a half-size up or down, depending on how the shoe runs and how you like it to fit. From there you’ll confirm your perfect size.
You may find that the best size for each of your feet is different. If this is the case, ask about ordering a different size for each foot. Fit samples are standard width and length, but wide and narrow fit are also available upon request.
Why do my shoes feel different on my feet than the fit sample I chose?
Your final pair may feel a bit different: softer or a bit more rigid than the fit samples you tried on. This could be due to the type of leather or different sole you ended up choosing. Rest assured, the size will be the same. Also, after a few times of wearing, your pair will start breaking in and molding to your feet.
What happens if I don’t like my shoes when they arrive?
Since made-to-order shoes are customized for you, they’re ineligible for return or exchange. This is why it’s so important to be sure of your selections upon finalizing your order with our team.
Every pair of George Esquivel Made to Order Shoes are hand-made in our Los Angeles atelier
HAND CUT
Our craftsmen and women hand-cut every piece to perfection, sometimes requiring over one and a half hours of cutting, perforating, and then sew them together to create a full pair.
HAND LAST
Each pair is patiently hand-lasted, or massaged, onto the mold of the shoe with some leathers requiring up to ten days to properly dry and take final shape. The "last" is the giver of shape, silhouette, and soul.
HAND FINISHED
The silhouettes are finally painstakingly hand-finished to create a one-of-a-kind pair of shoes. Some of our styles require over 150 steps to complete -- machine assembly is a foreign concept to us.
