Here’s a video that explains the process of ordering “special order footwear” and that is for added color (that we don’t stock) or developed a style in the 9E 10E or 14E widths for Men and Women.
You can special order all most every style and color on the website.
Now read these rules and regulations:
Now there is rule and procedures I want to understand and know and make sure you know these before you purchase a pair from us:
1) This is a Special Order, and it will take eight weeks or more to reach you. Approx. due date is 10/15/22 estimated time to reach our warehouse
2) There are no RETURNS OR REFUNDS on Special orders!! There are no exceptions to this rule!
3) In any 10E and 14 E width, the toe- box will be fuller and deeper than a 6E or 9E you’ve previously received.
If we give you a proper fit, the toe box will also have to be corrected for the depth and width of his toes! Or fuller in appearances to fit his foot.
4) All Athletic styles in a 10E and 14E width – will have the EVA bottom, the exact bottom you see on style 728 E, and that is for you to have the entire extended bottom for added support and no foot overhang.
So a 10E will have an 11 E bottom, and a 14E will have a 15 E bottom. So, you can do everything with this bottom – except playing tennis/pickleball or basketball.
This type of sole makes the shoe a great deal lighter in weight.
5) Again, the 10E and 14E will have a fuller toe box or an obliqued toe box, which will look fuller than what you saw in the 4E or 6E, showing the style for viewing.
If you’re in a 10E or 14E width, you need more added depth and wiggle room to your feet and toes, especially.
6) There is no stitching to the bottom and upper of the shoe to give you that maximum width needed for your foot. (a question we get once in a while).
Make sure you understand these rules before placing a special order!
How to order a style dealing with the Special Order program:
For example: you need a Men’s 9602 Black in a 15 length and a 10E width. This style is not stock in a 15 10E but can be made into this size.

HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO GET THAT SHOE STYLE AND COLOR YOU HAVE WISHED FOR YOUR HARD-TO-FIND SHOE SIZE.
Make sure you read this statement:

Disclaimer:
All stocked and backorder shoes can be returned ( as long they have not to be worn outside).
Special order shoe is one that we take a style from our stock program and change the size, width, the color, added a modification to the shoe (modification being lift, rocker bottom, pronation bar, insert filler), or convert from a tie to double or single Velcro opening.
These special orders CAN NOT BE RETURNED!
COVID 19 situations:
We are one of the only (and maybe the only) websites that will do this special order program on the internet. That is because we actually own the two factories overseas and do these special orders in our sample rooms.
How we still make the shoes in 3 1/2 to 4 weeks (in our factories) and in the past, we always AIR the shoes to us, in a 2-day procedure. Now, with COVID 19, we can not AIR one pair of shoes to us and we have to put all special orders through the SEA SHIPPING procedure that takes an additional 3 to 5 weeks to get to us. We can now state that 6 to 8 weeks to get to you, is the norm, that’s if we have no delays with custom or unloading the ship. If that is the case, you can add a few more weeks to that delivery time.
Here’s a story about our current delays of Special orders and Back Orders. Fortunately, this does not happen that often but it can with this Covid 19 situation:
The problem with Back Order or Special Orders during the Covid 19?
Story:
We had 14 containers that arrive at the Los Angeles port on 11/2/20.
We did not receive the containers until 12/6/20.
It was not a delay with customs (this time). With the Covid 19, most USA ports are running at 70 percent capacity, and with the current spike, it has been even less.
So here a case that we got the Back Orders or Special Orders out of the factory in 4 weeks, and it takes 4 weeks to get to us, in this case, to LA port, and then we have the ship sitting out on the water for additional 5 weeks waiting to be unloaded.
We are lucky that we are still operating, but we all have to be patient about these circumstances.
