We hope you find useful information in our answers to frequently asked questions.

Q. Do I need to come visit you to order footwear?

  1. Yes, you must come to visit the MURRAY SPACE SHOE® SHOEMAKER to place your first order. We do not accept casts from anyone else. You have to be casted by the same craftsperson who will make your shoes, boots or sandals. You and your feet are important. We believe in direct one to one communication so that you can receive the highest quality service possible and the finest footwear.
Q. Will you accept foot casts made by someone else?

  1. We will not accept foot casts made by anyone. We only use casts (more correctly called “lasts”) made by us. We are making custom made footwear for you. We want to see you and your feet. We want to go over any details directly with you. There is no benefit to interference or miscommunication with a third party. We want to take responsibility for what we do. We want to be able to do our best for you.
Q. Are you the only makers of MURRAY SPACE SHOE®?

  1. Yes, we are the only makers of MURRAY SPACE SHOE® footwear. Our processes are very unique. Our desire is to provide each person with the best custom made footwear we can make so that they can experience the comfort and pleasure of wearing MURRAY SPACE SHOE® shoes, boots and sandals.
Q. Are MURRAY SPACE SHOE® good for walking?

  1. Yes, MURRAY SPACE SHOE® are excellent for walking and hiking because the shape of your feet are used to make the inside shape of your shoes, boots and sandals. The contours of your feet are inside your shoes, boots and sandals. The roundness of your heel, the contours of your arch, the size and shape of your feet in all three dimensions are all built into each pair. Your feet will be walking or hiking in a pattern of themselves. This is the key to the comfort of MURRAY SPACE SHOE®. This is why we cast your feet before we make your footwear.
Q. Can I have my foot casts?

  1. You can’t have your foot casts. We do not charge for casting. The cast we take of each foot is a three dimensional negative form of measurements. We pour up and use a positive cast (the positive cast is more correctly named a “last”). MURRAY SPACE SHOE® shoes, boots or sandals are made according to processes developed by Mr. MURRAY. The positive cast is a culmination of intellectual property rights developed by the shoe, boot or sandal artisan using proprietary trade secrets. Therefore, we don’t give away our casts (lasts) to anyone. We charge only for the making and repair of footwear.
Q. Are MURRAY SPACE SHOE® footwear orthopedic, prosthetic or therapeutic?

  1. NO! These are medical terms which express, imply or claim some type of correction, cure and/or healing attributes. MURRAY SPACE SHOE® molding methods only accommodate foot shape and three dimensional size for a good fit and comfort. If you think you need or want medical footwear. Please, go to a medical footwear provider. MURRAY SPACE SHOE® is not for everyone. We are not medical providers.
Q. What is specialty footwear?

  1. Specialty footwear is any shoe, boot or sandal which requires changes from our normal and simple styles. Any design changes, changes in materials, modifications or non-standard color selection are considered to be specialty orders. Therefore, it is important for the customer and artisan/footwear maker to agree upon changes at the time of order.
Q. What do I do when I need repairs?

  1. Send your shoes, boots and sandals back to us. We repair the footwear we make. And, because we know exactly how we made them, we can do a much better job of keeping your MURRAY SPACE SHOE® shoes, boots and sandals in good condition.

We are dependent upon good communication by each and every customer.

There is a one-half non-refundable deposit on all footwear. We do not accept credit or debit cards. There may be a charge for adjustments after 30 days. Shipping charges will be paid by the purchaser any time shoes are returned for adjustment or repair.
