The Making of a Shoe Last

At Q by QS, we meticulously craft shoes using a diverse range of custom shoe lasts. These foot-shaped molds are foundational to shoemaking, influencing both the fit and overall aesthetic of luxury bespoke shoes for men.

Feet Scan Technology

The FeetSizr mobile app and our portable scanners—which will be introduced in select retail locations—allow you to easily capture precise 3D measurements of your feet. This valuable data is secured on the cloud under a unique FootID, enabling us to enhance our made-to-measure roadmap.

Made-to-Measure Shoe Lasts

The advantage of having each customer's FootID stored is it enables our artisans to offer a Made-to-Measure (MTM) service. This allows for the creation of custom shoe lasts, ensuring an impeccably tailored fit that contributes to our unrivaled craftsmanship.

FootID & 2019 Roadmap

We are currently advancing our made-to-measure roadmap with additional tools and services, such as customizable insoles that pair with any existing Made to Order offerings. We are also developing a cutting-edge algorithm powered by Machine Learning, which provides size recommendations to ensure optimal fit for standard MTO orders.
