Choosing Trail Shoes That Actually Fit Your Feet
Why the size on the box means little, and the three fit checks that tell you more than any review site will.
Prices
Freemindadventures price list for fitting, tailoring and alterations
Every price on this page is what you actually pay at the counter in South Brisbane, with no hidden fitting fees added at the end.
We write our numbers down because too many shops do not. Fitting is free when you buy a pair of shoes from us, made to measure tailoring starts at $1,290, and a simple hem is $35. Below that you will find the full breakdown, the packages worth taking, and the extras that often surprise people.

Alterations
Fixing what you already own
Quoted before anything gets cut. If a garment is not worth repairing, we will say so rather than take the job.
$35
Simple hems
Trouser and skirt hems on a standard single or double fold. Most are finished within three working days and ready for pickup.
$55
Waist and seat adjustments
Taking in or letting out a waistband, plus seat shaping where the fabric allows. We check the current seam allowance before quoting.
$90
Jacket tapering and sleeve length
Slimming the body, shortening sleeves or adjusting cuff buttons. Working buttonholes cost extra because they are moved by hand.
$70
Shoe resoling and patching
Road and trail shoe resoles, plus patchwork on fabric uppers and boot toe caps. We will tell you when the midsole is done for.
Prices shown are the common range, not a fixed rate. Bring the item in so we can look at it properly before you commit to anything.

Packages worth taking if you use them
We only push these when the maths works in your favour. If it does not, we tell you that too.

What the money buys
Where your cash actually goes
A little transparency, because pricing without context is just a number on a page.
Labour
Skilled hands, paid properly
Roughly sixty percent of a fitting or tailoring price goes to the person doing the work. Everyone on our floor is paid above the award rate, and nobody works on commission against your interests.
Cloth
Materials that last a summer
We buy from mills we have used for years and pay for higher twist cloth that holds its shape through heat and repeated dry cleaning. Cheap fabric makes a made to measure suit look second hand within a season.
Support
Follow up costs us nothing extra
Free follow up fittings, refits after 30 days and the priority booking window in race season are all built into the price you see. There is no separate service fee hiding behind the numbers.
Questions about pricing
What people ask before they commit
Because a fitting is forty five minutes of our time and a suit is twenty to thirty hours of it. We build the cost of the fitting into the price of the shoes, and if you do not buy we charge $45 for the session and credit it back on any purchase within thirty days.
For most jobs, yes. Cloth choice, heavier construction and hand finished details can push things up, and alterations depend entirely on the garment. We quote every job before any cutting or work starts, so nothing arrives at the counter as a surprise.
Yes. On a made to measure suit we take a deposit when the order starts, with the balance due at collection after the second fitting. Afterpay is available for footwear and clothing bought off the shelf in the studio. Our Refund Policy covers what happens if we cannot finish something.
Rush surcharges, extra cloth beyond the standard range and any alteration to a suit after you have worn it for months. Shoes and shirts are sold separately unless you take the new job starter package. We list every extra up front rather than adding it at the end.
No. Prices are the same whether you drove in from Ipswich or walked from West End. We do ask you to book ahead if you are coming from the Sunshine Coast or further, because we block a longer slot so everything can be done in one visit.
Reading before you spend
Two guides we wrote for anyone weighing up a purchase
No upsell at the end. Both are here to help you buy well, wherever that ends up being.

Picking Suit Fabric for Brisbane Heat
Where the extra money goes if you upgrade cloth, and why a cheaper suit is not always the cheaper choice over five years.
