Question

Has anyone bought shoes from the Left Foot Company?

They scan your feet with lasers, and produce custom shoes to your exact size and shape. They even take into account your lifestyle and walking habits.

Once they have your dimensions, you can order further pairs at the click of a mouse via the internet - and they should fit perfectly!

The shoes are not cheap (GBP125 to GBP180) when compared to mass produced ones, but probably work out quite reasonable if you look at the upper end of the market/bespoke shoes.

Is it going to be worth it for a pair or two of "best shoes"?

...well i am surprised, what with all the "what is the best watch?" and "what is the coolest digital camera?" type questions on the board, nobody has thought of their feet!

Does everyone just go to Dolcis and buy the first pair that fits

Nice site.

You've got to go a long way to get your foot scanned though!!

The reason why i asked is that there is a store in Brum (in the Great Western Arcade, around the back of Rackhams), so there have got to be other ones in the usual places (London, Manchester etc.).

Shame that the web-site doesn't show the UK stores yet
