Lucian Maftei<\/a> works fast even though he makes shoes for a fair amount of customers. My Derby shoes were ready in July despite the general delay caused by the lockdown but I didn\u2019t have the time to collect them. A speedy delivery is important in the bespoke business. The anticipation can quickly turn into impatience when the whole process takes too long. Tailors run the risk that the customer\u2019s weight changes over a couple a month. This is less of a problem for bespoke shoemakers (even though a major weight loss will affect the feet as well) but all bespoke makers run the risk of the customers spending their budget on other purchases if they have to wait for a very long time. This can lead to criticism of the finished pair of bespoke shoes simply because the customer somehow wants to get out of the deal because he doesn\u2019t have the money anymore or no longer wants to spend it on the shoes he has ordered 6 months ago. It also happens that a new life partner who doesn\u2019t share the enthusiasm for bespoke orders has entered the scene in the meantime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
