The Left Shoe Company is a a made-to-measure luxury footwear brand and accessories retailer, and it has announced it will be opening its first store in the United States.  The 1,700 square foot store will be located on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles.

The company uses 3D scanners to get the exact measurements of a particular customer’s foot, a process that takes five to ten minutes.  Then, a membership profile is created and saved for all future purchases either in-store or online.  Customers will next select a style of shoe from the in-store design studio.   They can chose the materials the shoes are made from, the color, and sole.  Customers also have the opportunity to have a message inscribed on the inside of the shoe.  The specifications are then sent to Europe for production and are shipped to the customer within six weeks.  Lastly, the store will feature a gentleman’s lounge with a bar.
