Once we receive your order and payment, production starts on the next working day, and your shoes will be completed within the following two working days.

For example, if we receive your order on Monday, production will begin Tuesday, be completed Wednesday, and ready by Thursday morning.

Please note, the 48-hour time frame covers only production. Pre-production, fulfillment and delivery times are excluded

Key Features

• 👟 Ultra-Fast Production: Shoes are crafted within 48 working hours, starting the next working day after payment confirmation.

• 🧵 Material Options: Luxe Calf + Painted Vitelo leathers, with optional burnishing, and hand-painted patina textures (+1 extra production day).
• ⚒️ Construction: Built using Blake Luxury Flex construction on the Zurigo last, with our Signature Yellow Sole.
• ✅ Same Quality: Shoes are crafted with the same premium quality as the Standard MTO service.

48h Rush is a custom production service for made-to-order (MTO) shoes that guarantees an extremely fast turnaround time of just 48 working hours. This service is available for a select range of Blake Luxury Flex men's dress shoes, offering streamlined customization options with a reduced set of materials and features.

48H Rush is faster than both MTO Standard (3-weeks) and Fastlane (1-week), providing a rapid production time while still delivering the same craftsmanship, attention to detail, and high-quality finishes.

Same Quality

All 48H Rush styles use Blake Luxury Flex shoe construction method. The only difference between 48h Rush and our Standard MTO service is the turnaround time. Rest assured, we use the same premium materials and craftsmanship for every order, ensuring your shoes are identical in quality to those from our MTO program.

Clearance products are final sale and will be clearly marked by the word "clearance" in the product title. These items are discounted heavily and therefore not eligible for returns or exchanges of any kind.

Sample sale products are final sale and will be clearly marked by the word "sample" in the product title. These items are "odd stock," and as such size exchanges are not possible and returns are not permitted.

Custom products are strictly non-refundable. This includes made-to-order products (MTO), wholesale-made-to-order products (WMTO), and ready-to-wear products (RTW) with add-ons such as custom engraving, metal toe tips, pitched heels, and bevel waist. Due to the custom nature of these products, we cannot offer returns.

Any products with custom alterations or add-ons are final sale. This includes products with custom patinas, heel/toe burnishes, metal toe tips, pitched heels, or bevel waist.

Products that are being discontinued are often offered in a "last chance" "pre-sale discontinued" production run. These are made-to-order and as such are not refundable or exchangeable.

Wholesale-Made-To-Order (WMTO) products are crowd funded and therefore rely on your orders for their lower prices. WMTO deposits are therefore strictly non-refundable once a WMTO order period has ended. Once a WMTO product meets its order deadline and orders close, deposits cannot be refunded, with no exceptions. For example, if you decide one week or one month after orders close that you no longer want the shoe you ordered, your deposit will not be refunded. You will not be required to pay the outstanding balance on your order, but your deposit will not be refunded.

We consider all products purchased on-site in our Michigan showroom to be approved of by the client, and as such they are final sales.

• 48H Rush shoe production timeline can vary if you add hand patina service (+1 extra day).
