Order made-to-order shoes as early as you reasonably can, then confirm the current production and delivery timing before relying on a specific event date. The exact timeline can vary with the design, material, colour, order details and delivery destination.
At FAWOYE, products are handmade and made to order. That means the pair is prepared after the order is confirmed; it is not simply picked from a shelf of finished stock.
Why there is no universal deadline
A simple design in an available material may follow a different production path from a custom colour or a more detailed construction. Delivery timing also depends on the destination within Nigeria and when the order details are fully confirmed.
A date should therefore be treated as confirmed only when FAWOYE has reviewed the selected product, EU size, colour, material option and delivery information.
What to confirm before production
- The exact product and variation
- The correct EU size
- The available colour selected on the product page
- The material stated for that design or option
- The recipient’s Nigerian telephone number and delivery address
- The event date and the latest useful delivery date
Incorrect or incomplete information can delay a decision even before production begins. If you are buying for someone else, use our guide to buying shoes as a gift without guessing the size.
For weddings and introduction ceremonies
Formal events involve several moving parts: tailoring, fittings, travel, photography and changing plans. Footwear should not be left until the final stage.
Choose the shoe while the outfit is still available for a complete fitting. This gives you time to check trouser length, dress hem, colour balance and comfort. For wedding-specific guidance, read the best shoes for a Nigerian traditional-wedding groom and the FAWOYE bridal shoe guide.
For birthdays, anniversaries and gifts from abroad
If the pair is a surprise, the main risk is usually missing information rather than distance. Confirm the recipient’s EU size discreetly and provide a reliable Nigerian contact and address.
An order may be placed from abroad for delivery within Nigeria. FAWOYE ships nationwide within Nigeria; the website does not promise international delivery.
Custom-colour requests need confirmation
The “Request a custom colour” option is a separate WhatsApp enquiry. It does not add a variation or item to the basket, and it does not promise that a colour can be made.
FAWOYE must confirm availability, price and production timing before payment. If an event is close, choosing an existing verified product option may be simpler than requesting a new colour.
Do not guess the size to save time
A rushed size decision can create a larger problem than waiting to measure properly. FAWOYE uses EU sizing. Check both feet, compare a similar comfortable shoe and consider whether the recipient has a wide foot or high instep.
Use the FAWOYE EU shoe sizing guide before placing the order.
Plan time to test the complete outfit
When the pair arrives, try it indoors with the socks, trousers or dress intended for the event. Walk, turn and use stairs. The heel should feel held, the toes should have natural room and the outfit hem should fall cleanly.
New shoes should not need to be painfully endured. Read why new shoes should not hurt.
