Would customers please note that due to the high quantity of special orders for special foot shape requirements there will be an initial charge of £20 for design.  Subsequent orders for shoes/sandals already designed will not bear this charge.  Existing customers will not be affected.  We regret having to make this charge but the time taken to design special shoes in quantity has reduced our production rate quite considerably.

Standard shoes will not bear this charge.
