What is 48h Rush?
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.
Production Lead Time 48h
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 timeframe covers only production. Pre-production, fulfillment and delivery times are excluded
Private Labeled for Your Brand
As with our other services, 48h Rush orders can be customized with your brand's name or logo. You can engrave your logo on the insole and outsole. If you've developed custom stamps for other MTO programs, those logos will be reused for 48h Rush orders.
Additionally, you can opt for private label packaging and accessories like custom shoe boxes, dust bags, shoe horns, and shoe care kits.
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.
