[0:00]Shaving off a millimeter too much of leather could ruin the fit of this bespoke shoe. To make a finished pair, artisans must carve, hammer, and stitch each detail to the exact specifications of a customer's foot, twice. One pair can cost over 5,000 pounds. Some designs cost over 12,000 pounds. Cannons of London makes some of the world's most expensive bespoke shoes, all by hand using traditional techniques. Even the thread the artisans use is handspun. The last. It's a wooden mold carved to the exact measurements and features of the customer's foot.
