I have just joined this site but I've been reading the posts for a little while. I ordered shoes from Adler in February and I thought I would write about the experience so far. I received the sock molds a week after ordering and they were quite simple to use. I did end up with some bubbles on my second foot and it took a lot of cutting to free it from my foot, but both casts looked fine in the end.
They have not been great with email contact since they received my casts. I thought I might receive an expected delivery date but I haven’t. After a few emails sent, they responded by telling me the shoes should be delivered on time. They received the casts on February 16th and it is now just gone past the 12 weeks they said was the longest it should take. Hopefully they will arrive soon and I will post pictures.
I am writing on the forum because I am really looking forward to getting bespoke shoes and the known makes are way outside any budget I have for shoes. The posts have been very negative but no one had actually tried it. As I paid with credit card I thought well, if it is a scam I will be able to go through fraud claim – and I really don’t think it is because why would they have sent the casting kit?
As I have never bought shoes beyond £70 before, I am fully expecting them to be the best shoes I have owned but that may not being saying much
As they have bought to use when I get married in the summer, I hope to get the honest opinion of a relative who has been wearing bespoke for over 30 years who'll be at the wedding.
