Technical footwear services built around your product, construction methods and manufacturing needs. From patterns and grading to lasts and complete footwear development, every deliverable is prepared for a practical route into production.

Pattern Design & Grading

From bespoke master patterns to full graded size ranges, we create accurate, production-ready patterns around your construction methods and manufacturing capabilities.

  • We start with a design consultation to assess your exact needs based on your manufacturing capabilities.
  • Next, we either design a bespoke style from scratch or deconstruct an existing shoe to accurately recreate its patterns.
  • From there, we develop a master pattern that includes all the components required to bring your shoe design to life.
  • If you need a full size range, we can grade the master pattern—whether it’s one we created or one you’ve supplied—according to international grading standards.
  • We ensure every detail is captured through precise design specifications to support consistent, high-quality production.
  • Once complete, we can deliver the patterns in DXF format for digital use, or as card pieces for hand cutting or die creation. We also offer die-making services through one of our trusted manufacturing partners.

Bespoke Last Design

Every successful shoe starts with the right last. We develop or modify lasts around fit, function, style and production requirements.

The service can include:

  • We begin with an initial design consultation to understand your footwear goals and technical requirements.
  • Based on your needs, we’ll create a fully tailored last design or help you select the most suitable stock lasts for modification.
  • We then apply bespoke alterations to ensure the last meets your specific fit, style, and functional criteria.
  • If a full size range is needed, our expert grading service ensures consistency and accuracy across all sizes.
  • We’re also happy to liaise directly with international manufacturers on your behalf, ensuring a smooth transition from design to production.

Custom Footwear Development

We support the complete development journey, from concept and mood boards through last selection, pattern engineering, materials, sampling and production preparation.

The service can include:

  • We begin with an initial design consultation to define your vision, technical requirements, and production goals.
  • From there, we develop a tailored last design or assist in selecting the most suitable stock lasts for your chosen style.
  • Our team then creates bespoke patterns to perfectly align with your design and last specifications.
  • You’ll have access to premium material options, sourced from some of the finest tanneries in the country.
  • We ensure every detail is captured through precise design specifications to support consistent, high-quality production.
  • Sampling is carried out with opportunities for refinement and adjustment to ensure the ideal fit and finish.
  • Once approved, we can supply the final production-ready components or coordinate manufacture through our trusted partners.
