When you order this pair of shoes, a pair of shoes will be made for you with the same properties as described in this advertisement. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask before placing an order. Do you want shoes with modified properties compared to the description in this advertisement? Please do not order the shoes in this advertisement, but instead request a custom order. You can find more information about requesting a custom order at the bottom of the description of this ad.
All the shoes in this store are made entirely by hand from excellent materials. Because everything is made by hand, and because there is a limited amount of specific materials available, all shoes are made in small numbers. However, they are not one of a kind. As long as the specific material is available they will be recreated.
Attention: These shoes are not suitable for doll feet made of leather or textile.
Doll foot size advice: The doll feet must be smaller than the shoes.
The shoes are only suitable for doll feet that are flat at the bottom.
The shoes are succesfully tested on doll feet with sizes 7,3 x 3,5 cm - 2 7\8" x 1 3\8 " , so the shoes will fit doll feet that have these sizes or that have slightly smaller sizes.
Place a foot from the big toe to the heel in a caliper to measure the length of a doll foot.
Place the widest part of a foot in a caliper to measure the width of a doll foot.
The doll foot size advice takes into account that the doll is wearing thin socks.
Are the shoes a little too spacious? Thicker socks will help !
We only use natural materials to make the shoes:
Suede leather for the shoes.
Cotton tread for the edge embroidery and the laces.
Leather and brass for the decorations.
Leather for the soles ( inside and outside ).
Acid free cardboard for the inner strengthening of the soles.
Hide glue for the glued parts of the shoes.
The shoes will be shipped together with a nice handmade cardboard box . This box will be protected with a second cardboard shipping box during the shipping process. The handmade box will be a nice storage place for your shoes when they are not in use, and it can also serve as a gift box if you want to give the shoes as a present to a doll lover !
If you buy multiple items, they will be combined in 1 shipment to save shipping costs.
Please note that we will only send your order to the address you entered on your Etsy account.
COSTUM ORDERS:
Do you need shoes in a different size or in a different color than how they are depicted and described in this advertisement?
• Ask for a costum order instead of buying the shoes in this advertisement.
• Think carefully beforehand about what the shoes should look like and what sizes they should have before you request a customized order. It is important for us that you are clear and steadfast in your wishes in order to succesfully make a beautiful good fitting pair of shoes for you.
•Give us the dimensions of the bare feet of your doll: the length, the width and the ankle circumference. We only accept measurements made with a vernier caliper as this is the most reliable way of measuring. We will send pictures to you showing how to measure the doll's feet.
• Tell us whether the doll will wear socks in these shoes, and if so, whether these are thin or thick socks.
• Give us a clear description about what the shoes should look like. Which model, which color, which decorations? Do you want the shoes in a specific color? We can dye leather in the right color. You will first need to send us real sample material in the correct color by post. Unfortunately we are unable to copy color from photos as colors often appear different on a photo or monitor from the real thing, creating a risk of incorrect color being created which should be avoided.
• If we can meet your request, we will send you an Etsy advertisement for the desired pair of shoes. This is a private advertisement on the Etsy platform that is only visible to you and us and it is a non-binding offer. If we do not receive an order and payment for this private advertisement within 48 hours, we will remove it, canceling the offer.
• If you order and pay for the offer within 48 hours, then we have an agreement for a customized order. The shoes are then made for you within 3 working days and then they are sent to the address you linked to your Etsy account. Please note: You cannot exchange or return these shoes that have been specially made for you.
• Finally (we are very sorry to ask this!): Do not ask for a customized order just for fun, nor when you are not sure that you want what you ask for. We take our work seriously and we like to make doll shoes for people who think the same about this. It is a waste of everyone`s time if communication stops as soon as we have responded helpfully to a request for a customized order. The person who made the request does not benefit from this and neither do we.
