Chinese bespoke shoes

[daizawaguy]

I have found the Japanese equivalent of the above thread extremely valuable, and I thought it would be a good idea to collate information on Chinese bespoke shoe makers.

I have only been following a few on Instagram, and whilst I don't have comprehensive information at this stage, I was hoping those with information and photos could contribute to this thread and make it the center for information.

here is article about a bespoke maker/manufacturer named BEIJING 1978 / WM1978

the price is from￥16000 ($2300) as the article says

and from the pics, i have to say that the lasts do not look nice in my eye.

I just got my pair from Lu Yang earlier this week. My review below:

Lu Yang shoes appreciation thread

Lu Yang bespoke seamless wholecut oxford in Zonta museum calf Hi all! I briefly searched the forum and found that Lu Yang (https://instagram.com/bespoke_shoemaker_luyang) hasn’t yet got a dedicated appreciation thread, so I thought it could be of interest to SF members to share the experience...

I would also like to name Zhao RuoDa, ins@zhaoddddzhao.
Trained at Bemer in Florence and made many Bemer bespoke orders 2017-2018. Now back in China for his own business.

There are truly amazing handwelted shoe manufacturing scene in the Shanghai area. They are normally non-bespoke, only MTO but if you can make it to Shanghai, it is possible to make a customised last with very little cost.
curatedchina@ins is a good source for such infos

@daizawaguy, would you be open to change the title of this thread to something like "CHINESE SHOES: BESPOKE, MTO & RTW SUPER THREAD", was thinking about creating a new thread, but found your one.

last few pages of AM thread was filled with Xibao shoes, which is confusing, @WilYa has also provided some useful information on there, but it's not on the right thread....

 

[daizawaguy]

Ok. Will try!

 

[wurger]

to change thread names, you will need to message @emptym to action it.

 

[daizawaguy]

Contacted him, thanks
