Bontoni Made-To-Order (MTO) lies between ready-made and bespoke. Our MTO program enables you to personalize one of our pre-existing styles to your exact specifications. While full bespoke requires the making of a personal last, MTO uses one of our existing lasts as a starting point, along with additional modifications. MTO requires less time to complete with respect to bespoke.
Our specialists will guide you through each step of the personalization options. This includes choosing different styles, materials, color, soles
and constructions. If you already have a pair of our shoes and are content with the fit, then you can order Bontoni MTO anytime through one of our retailers or directly with us. We also offer a MTO service during our trunk shows. Please refer to our calendar of events for the next trunk show in your area. For more information about this service, you can contact us at [email protected].

Last & Sizing
To accommodate each person’s unique foot and aesthetics, we offer a variety of lasts. These vary in terms of width and toe shapes- such as classic round, almond, or chiseled. Our MTO sizing is based on half and whole-sized measurements. To achieve a more superior fit, we can modify the width, length, and instep.

Style
Select from over 300 options from either our current or archive collections. Our unique styles include oxfords, derbies, buckles, loafers, boots and sneakers. Since each model offers its own unique subset of personalization options, we recommend that consult one of our experts.

Material
We offer a variety of exceptionally high-quality materials ranging from calf, soft calf, pebble grain, suede, Russian calf, cordovan, bison, deerskin, and exotics such as crocodile and alligator. We color all of these materials, including some of our suede accents, entirely by hand.

Color
Choose from hundreds of one-of-a-kind colors for your leather or skins. Since every pair is completely hand-colored, our expert colorist can create the depth, richness, and hue of the patina to suit your exact needs. In addition to our exquisitely hand-burnished colors, we offer a wide range of classic and bold suede color options.

Construction
In addition to our standard Goodyear-Welt construction, you can select from any of our other shoemaking methods — such as Norwegian-Welt, Blake-Rapid, Blake, or Sacchetto. Each of these constructions offers its own, unique set of benefits in terms of fit, comfort, and aesthetics.

Sole
You are not limited to our hand-finished oak bark-tanned leather soles. We also offer a number of dress, casual and sporty rubber soles such as crepe and lug, or options to meet your lifestyle and functionality needs.

Personalization
The degree of personalization ultimately depends on your choice of style. We will walk you through your range of options—such as type of stitch, decorative details, medallion, or buckle. We can add yet another layer of customization by etching your name on the sole, and by adding a personalized inscription on the lining.
