HOW IT WORKS
To help create your very own custom made shoes we have developed a simple system that we use in Selfridges, Liberty, our own shop and now online.
Online:
After choosing the style that you prefer and the size, simply select the materials and colours from the drop down boxes to indicate the colour combination.
Our made to order service takes up to 4 weeks and prices start from £185 plus a £50 made to order fee.
Shop:
First try on our samples that come in womens size 35 - 42, and mens sizes 39 - 47. Then look through our books showing our leathers along with the 40 most popular upper and welt combinations. Lastly, overlay one of the 12 coloured strips of micro sole material to see which combination you prefer from our range.
We also have the option of a traditional leather sole with a hard wearing TPU half sole and heel piece. Once again, this is available in a choice of 12 colours.
Visit them in their shop, or look online to see our full range of styles and colours.

Heineken®, the world’s leading premium beer brand, today announced their partnership with the LA-based retail store Union LA, and fashion designer Mark McNairy, for the “Heineken 100” program—an influencer and celebrity seeding program that celebrates tastemakers that represents Heineken’s “Man of the World.” For the partnership, Union LA and Mark McNairy created a signature colorway for McNairy’s classic saddle shoe in honor of the partnership.
“We are thrilled to partner with the extraordinary fashion visionaries, Mark McNairy and Union LA, for the second product from the ‘Heineken 100’ 2012 program” said Olga Osminkina, Senior Brand Director, HEINEKEN USA. “Mark and Chris truly exemplify Heineken’s consumer, a ‘Man of the World’ that is forward thinking, savvy and enjoys worldly experiences.” Heineken has commissioned the creative direction of Los Angeles-based retail store, Union LA, and fashion designer, Mark McNairy, to create another color offering of McNairy’s leather saddle shoe. This shoe was chosen for the collaboration because, like Heineken, it is a perfect fusion of classic, traditional, modern and progressive. The all black leather shoe with a classic silhouette features a modern twist by incorporating a cushioned sole in Heineken green. "Union LA and Mark McNairy are excited to work with a stellar brand like Heineken for their coveted ‘Heineken 100’ program," says Chris Gibbs, owner of Union LA. "When designing the shoe, Mark and I used Heineken's signature kelly green color to provide an eye-catching colorway for the sole." In its third year, the Heineken 100 influencer program identifies and celebrates various tastemakers across the nation, who represent Heineken’s “Man of the World” platform. Previous collaborative products for the program include: Ariel 7 headphones, Tsovet watches, Union LA t-shirts, Android Homme sneakers, New Era fitted caps, tote bags designed by fashion duo Dee & Ricky, and most recently a limited-edition weekender duffle bag with Public School.
