How to Order Custom Football Boots from Korea, Even If You Live Abroad

Most football boots are built on one standard last. If your feet are wide, have bunions, or are two different sizes, you end up choosing the least painful pair on the shelf. Custom boots solve that by building the boot around your own measurements. Here is exactly how ordering works with us, step by step, including if you live outside Korea.
Who custom boots are for
- Wide feet that get squeezed in standard boots
- Bunions or tailor's bunions that make most boots painful
- Left and right feet of different sizes
- Sizes that are hard to find. We make 220 to 310 mm
- High or low insteps that slip or pinch
- Players who simply want their own colors
What it costs
Prices are in US dollars. We invoice through PayPal in US dollars at the exchange rate on the day your quote is confirmed, so the final amount can differ by a few dollars. Every pair includes fitting from your measurements, color and stud selection, and handmade production.
- Synthetic: US$260 · FG / AG soleplate
- Calfskin: US$295 · FG / AG / SG soleplate
- Kangaroo leather: US$330 · FG / AG / SG soleplate
EMS shipping is a flat US$60 per order to 67 countries. If you prefer to pay right away, there is a PayPal link with shipping included: US$320 synthetic, US$355 calfskin, US$390 kangaroo leather.
Why kangaroo leather? At the same thickness it has about three times the tensile strength of calfskin, so the upper can be thinner for better ball feel, and it molds to your foot quickly.
Step 1. Measure your feet at home
- Length. Put a sheet of A4 paper against a wall and stand on it with your heel touching the wall. Place a book flat against your longest toe, mark the spot, and measure from the wall to the mark in millimeters.
- Width. Measure the widest part of your forefoot in millimeters.
- Both feet. Measure left and right separately. Many people are a few millimeters different, and that matters for a custom fit.
- Outline. Trace each foot on A4 paper with the pen held upright.
- Photos. Photograph both feet from the top, side, front and back.
Measure in the evening if you can, standing, wearing the socks you play in.
Step 2. Get a free quote
Send your measurements and photos through the quote form, by email to 21apro@naver.com, or on WhatsApp. Tell us your preferred upper, color, stud type and the surface you play on. We reply with a quote in US dollars and ask for any extra measurements we need. If we cannot fit your feet, we tell you before you pay.
Step 3. Pay and we build
We send a PayPal invoice in US dollars, converted at that day's exchange rate. Production starts after payment and usually takes 2 to 3 weeks, up to 4 weeks when we are busy. You can cancel any time before production starts.
Step 4. EMS delivery
Your boots ship by EMS with tracking, usually 3 to 7 days to your door. Import duties or taxes, if your country charges them, are paid by the recipient.
Living in Korea? Get measured in person
If you are in Korea, book a visit and we measure your feet by hand at our workshop in Goyang, next to Seoul. This is more accurate than photos. Visits are by appointment only. Book on Naver Booking or message us on WhatsApp.
Good to know before you order
- Made to order. Each pair is built for one person, so we cannot accept returns for a change of mind once production has started.
- Defects. If your boots arrive defective, contact us within 3 months of delivery and we cover the return shipping.
- Studs. There are 15 stud patterns for firm ground, artificial grass and soft ground, at no extra cost.
