Bespoke shoes

Bespoke shoes are shoes made especially for a certain customer by a shoemaker.[1] The feet are measured and a last for each foot is created. At the fitting, the customer tries the prototype pair of shoes made in an inexpensive leather and the shoemaker checks if anything needs to be changed. If so, the changes are applied to the lasts and the shoes are created with a precious leather. After the final lasts are created, the customer can order more pairs of shoes without more measurements and fittings.

The shoe lasts of Queen Victoria from 1898 and Earl Mountbatten of Burma at John Lobb in London

gollark: They're not *that* dangerous.
gollark: <@239056962980020225> I also have a ZIP version of the modpack which you can just extract into the mods folder.
gollark: Also, for doomsday device antitampering CC can be quite helpful. Especially Plethora and its entity sensor - you can detect unauthorized players at range.
gollark: I was thinking that putting the reactor on Ten Metre Island might be a bad idea, since power cables which can transfer the 2kRF/t output of it are slightly expensive (invar) and we'd need to run itemducts for fuel over too.
gollark: No, Nuclearcraft stuff won't explode, only melt into corium.
