>> For all of the things listed, I would rather have factory made versions.
I think people believe this who haven't ever experienced truly custom hand-made things. The process of creating an actual "custom, hand-made, artisan-crafted, boutique" shoe will involve first creating a custom "last" - a wooden mold to build the shoe around.
This last isn't literally a mold of your foot, it is a custom-sculpted shape that is specific to both your foot and the particular shoe style. The shoemaker will keep all of their customer's lasts in a large library, so once your last is customized properly for you (in-person), you don't have to return to order more of that type of shoe - you can place future orders in different colors/materials and the shoe will be created around that same wooden last, ensuring a very specific fit that is most comfortable for you.
A factory cannot do this.
The point of hand-made things is customization that goes far beyond what a factory could ever do. If you're buying hand-made things that aren't truly customized for you, then you're largely missing the point.
