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.
