Model, last and size<\/h2>\n<p>Next, the model and suitable size or last are chosen. MTO does not always mean a fully individual last, so selecting the right base size and model is important. Foot width, instep height and comfort should be considered early.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Leather, sole and details<\/h2>\n<p>Once the model is chosen, the material, colour, sole, lining, laces and possible personalisation are decided. At this stage it is wise to keep the whole clear: too many special choices can make the shoe harder to combine.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Confirmation and delivery<\/h2>\n<p>Before ordering, the choices should be reviewed once more.
