ExIT Shoes is my one man custom handmade shoe shop in Portland, Oregon.
I learned to make shoes from great craftsmen in the United States and the Netherlands. It’s my goal to continue the European tradition of making shoes for individuals based on their actual feet with the best available materials.
I make shoes for walking, dancing, working and just fooling around. I can make prototype shoes from drawings or from a shoe you have but would like to change.
Many people have a favorite shoe that they keep for special occasions. They don’t wear them as often as they would like because they don’t quite fit. I can reproduce your favorite shoe with a fit that makes the shoe wearable.
On this site you will find the history of each handmade shoe I’ve made and some information on the process of making shoes in general. Prices are listed on the “Cost” page.
Please contact me by email if you are interested in having shoes custom made for you.
