ORBIS · The World Shopping Atlas

Shoemakers & Bootmakers

Plate M-39 · 526 stores · 1–150 of 526 · curated ORBIS register

Filling Pieces designs sneakers in Amsterdam and has them handcrafted in Portugal, connecting streetwear shapes with its footwear collection. At Stavros Melissinos Poet Sandals, handmade leather sandals are fitted to the customer's feet in the Athens workshop. The family behind that Psyrri workshop has made sandals since the 1920s, giving fitted footwear a long local history.

What makes great shoemakers & bootmakers?

This plate lists 526 shops in 63 countries. Paris has the most with 66, followed by Florence with 11. Among these shops, 43 describe made-to-order work and 14 sell online, going by their own descriptions.

Decide which purchase this is: bespoke, made-to-order and ready-to-wear are three separate purchases with different timescales and prices.

Ask how the shoe is constructed: ask whether the sole is stitched or glued, because that decides what repair is possible later.

Ask who resoles it: a shop that repairs its own shoes can tell you what a resole costs and how long it takes.
