Description

William tailor makes shoes to your specifications, in a choice of  type, fabric, colour, heel length, design and ornamentation.  Prices are based on fabric, decoration, etc and may run to well over a royal.
Dress shoes, boots, slippers and a range of ladies shoes are available, each one hand-tooled to perfection.
Depending on the size of the shoe you may have the option of having a discreet knife or lockpick scabbard sown into the lining. Not all shoes carry this option and it is important to keep it on the quiet.
It takes six roundworld hours for William to complete your new pair of shoes.

Example:

This skintight pair of thigh-high boots is tailored from sleek, clinging white patent leather.  The diamonds show the curved muscles of the wearer's legs beautifully, and the tonahamen heels click sharply with each step.  The height of them is likely to be intimidating to any man.

It could sheathe a knife or dagger.
