PatentHeel Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I have had no luck in hunting down a pair of patent strappy sandals that I really want and as time goes by the chances of finding a pair in my size is dwindling. I've thought about having a go and making a pair myself but wondered if there are any specialised companies that could make a pair of heels to a customers requirements? If such a company exists, I would expect they would be rather expensive. Anybody had any custom made?
Guy N. Heels Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I don't know precisely what yer searching for, but there are quite a few pairs in the "For Sale" section that fit your general discription, including a pair that I have posted. So look around a bit or else give us some more details on what you want. Keep on stepping, Guy N. Heels
at9 Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 What about: http://www.burlesqueblue.com/ They do a "made to measure" service. Has anyone here ever bought from them?

Jarl Ayari Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 I know Burlesque Blue do custom designs but me being a size 12 uk I wasnt too happy with the heel strength. Pleasers and other brands no problem Smile and the whole world smiles with you, Fart and your on your own!!!
PatentHeel Posted November 1, 2008 Author Posted November 1, 2008 I can give it a try if you like. www.love4heels.com Try what? Emailing ?
HHfanatic Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Try what? Emailing ? I can try that aswell, but I thought you wanted to have a pair of shoes custom made...and with that I can help you...
PatentHeel Posted November 1, 2008 Author Posted November 1, 2008 I can try that aswell, but I thought you wanted to have a pair of shoes custom made...and with that I can help you... I would love somebody to make them for me, but they would have to be as good as the genuine ones.
HHfanatic Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 I would love somebody to make them for me, but they would have to be as good as the genuine ones. I`m sure that the quality is absolutly as good as the original. About design it depends on how good pictures you can supply.
PatentHeel Posted November 1, 2008 Author Posted November 1, 2008 they're pretty much the same as shown in the picture to be honest.
HHfanatic Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Is there a small plattform and what is the shape of the heel? Heelheight? Is the straps made of leather or plastic?
PatentHeel Posted November 2, 2008 Author Posted November 2, 2008 Is there a small plattform and what is the shape of the heel? Heelheight? Is the straps made of leather or plastic? Hopefully the following link shows the heel type, platform and shape a bit better: http://www.hhplace.org/discuss/attachments/high_heels_wanted/2280d1211724262-patent_sandals_ankle_strap_chains-blk-passion.jpg These were available in the US recently but as you can see they are the matt style. I basically want the same heel but in black patent leather in a size UK 8. You can see how they wrap around the foot on the original picture: http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh77/PatentHeel/sand.jpg They have a detachable ankle strap which has a silver buckle on it. The other two straps on the heel also have the same silver buckle. I hope this is sufficient enough information. I will try and hunt down the other pictures I have. Do you think you can make them?
HHfanatic Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 It seems like they have a plastic sole which is made in a mold... If that is the case, we can not do that. But they can be build up by leather/leatherette (PU) the old fashion way by handcraft. The straps are no problem, They are very sexy thow....:-) I will print out the pic and bring it to the shop and ask them how close to the picture they can make them..

I have been to the manufacture this morning and they say they can make the shoes very close to the look on your pics. The heel is to be of plastic but shaped round and 5" tall colored to gold with man made material. Metal heels same shape is not available... The heel has a steel pin going straight throug the heel from end to end for extra strenght. Outer sole can be made of black rubber as same shape, and inlay of silver manmade material inside the sole. Straps made by man made material in shiny black and 2 silver colored buckles on each shoe....
PatentHeel Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 Ideally I wanted the same style metal heel but if this isn't possible then I might still be interested. It would all depend on the cost. I really want them but I have to spend within budget. Thanks.
HHfanatic Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Max 120 euro incl transport to UK. Transport takes about 3,5 week. Manufacture about 2 weeks. Might be a little cheaper...will have a talk with the manufacture again on thursday.
neatshoes200 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 HHfanatic, I saw your post, and I couldn't help but ask. I know it is a little off topic of this thread, but can you also make kitten heels, and flat mary-janes? (maybe we can start a new thread?)
