D A N T É is engineered for two distinct elevations. Please note your preference for your upcoming Design Consultation:

4-Inch (Flagship Pitch): Our most aggressive silhouette, providing a transformative posture and peak aesthetic impact.

3-Inch (Atelier Standard): The "Surgical" sweet spot—offering significant elevation with a pitch designed for extended wear.

Signature Fit: The Anatomy of a Permanent Foundation

The Philosophy:

At Yellow Door Shoes, we don't believe you should
have to "break in" a luxury heel. We believe the shoe should be born
from your own form. The Signature Fit is our most exclusive structural service,
designed for the woman who views her wardrobe as a lifetime investment.

The Process:

The 3D Capture: We begin with a
high-definition 3D scan, capturing 100,000 data points of your foot’s unique
topography—arch height, pressure distribution, and volume.

The Physical Last: Your
digital data is translated into a Physical Last—a custom-milled, solid form
that acts as a precise replica of your foot. 

The Stretcher Bar: Think of
this Last as a master "stretcher bar" for a fine-art canvas. Our
Spanish and Italian artisans' hand-wrap your chosen leathers around your
personal form.

The Vault: Once created, your Signature Last
is kept in our permanent archives. Every future pair you commission will be
built on this foundation, ensuring a consistent, "second skin" fit
for life.

The Result:

A 100mm stiletto with the stability of a flat. By
building the shoe around a physical replica of your foot, we eliminate friction
and pressure points entirely. It is the ultimate expression of architectural
comfort.

At Yellow Door Brand, we architect products to last a lifetime. Because much of our work is custom-built to your specific 3D blueprint, our shipping and return protocols are designed to ensure the highest level of precision and quality control.

We offer various tiers of production based on the complexity of the craftsmanship:

3D ATELIER, LIMITED EDITION, NEW ARRIVAL & DANTÉ COUTURE:

Production: 25 Days. This allows for the digital blueprinting, 3D modeling, and hand-assembly of your custom commission.

Shipping: 2–4 Business Days via UPS , DHL or FedEx.

STANDARD MTO: Hand finished and delivered within 3-4 weeks.

SIGNATURE FIT: Includes an additional 2 weeks for the precision milling of your personal Last.

Note: For all 3D Atelier commissions, the production clock begins once you have officially approved your 3D digital model.

Atelier Policy: This is a custom-engineered, hand-finished product. Because each pair is built to your specific 3D-scan architecture or features artisan hand-dyeing, this product is Final Sale. We guarantee the structural integrity of our craftsmanship; however, we cannot accept returns based on a change of mind or style preference.

Our Guarantee: We hold your payment until you approve the 3D model. Once approved, the architecture is locked.

The Exception: We take full responsibility for our measurements. If the final product delivered does not match the size or width specifications in your approved order, we will provide an immediate correction or replacement.
