Nimco Made4You

Nimco Made4You, since 1904 Nijmegen is the house of Nimco. The Nimco shoe factory was founded in 1904 by Johan Verschuur. In 1968, Adrian Krol bought the ill functioning shoe factory and after that a series of events made Nimco one of the most important custom made shoe manufacturer in the world.

1904 1968 1971

Establishment by Johan Verschuur, in Nijmegen

Acquisition by Adrian Krol

Opening of the first shoe factory outlet was opened in Nijmegen. The industrial complex, was then turned into a shopping mall â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eurocenterâ&#x20AC;?. That same year Nimco opened here its first shoe store.

Nimco Made4You

1973

Nimco restarted to manufacture children’s shoes. This was made in 2 factories, altogether with therapeutic and specialty shoes. These are now Nimco’s core business products.

1990

Nimco developed and patented a stretch leather technology; this was a major breakthrough in shoe business, especially since it was very much adequate for diabetics. Between 1990 and 2000 an expansion period occurred which characterized the company’s modern era: ⋅Sales expansion for Benelux, European countries and countries in other continents: USA, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, China, UK, etc. ⋅Creation of Nimco Orthopaedics – which is the orthopaedics division ⋅Opening of the retail chain Nimco House of Shoes ⋅Creation of R&D Nimcolab ⋅And, in 1999 the Portuguese manufacturing unit Fits All that started its activity by producing purely orthopaedic shoes and afterwards started to produce Personal Pairs.

Nimco Made4You

This period was important because Nimco experienced further world expansion being now present in all continents. In this decade major technological advances were made specially those related to the factory unit Fits All. In these last years new, better and faster solutions are being offered due to technology: foot scanner, CNC lasts that can be sent electronically, 2D modulation and 3D modulation and several others.

2006

An important event took place. Personal Pair was created; this is a line of personalized, fitted and designed shoes for adults and children. These two collections are a breakthrough in the shoe market because they start the era of total personalization and involvement of the person in creation of their especially custom made shoe.

2007

Fits-All moves its unit to a well known industrial era, the growth of the company in sales, products and internal structure demanded this evolution. Started the Whole Sales Portugal in the Oporto Front Office, Forma Formosa Store.

2011

Nimco Orthopaedics and Fits All have fused in one great company that manufactures and commercializes shoes and orthopaedic solutions for special feet: Nimco Made 4 You. Nimco Made 4 You is a solid organization which holds the required knowledge and experience to make the best shoes. The shoes of Nimco are therefore known worldwide.

Traditional last are made from moulds, these are made using the most accurate biometric information when it comes from digitalizing the foot, or from respecting your measurements and requirements when building a 3D image of the foot. Then after modeling the lasts are produced in a Numeric Control Machine - CNC. All this work can also be complemented with our supplements and fitting shoes. There is also a third way for doing this you can send us the lasts electronically, by this we mean you can send us a compatible CAD CAM file for us to produce. Easy, fast and simple!

We make custom made shoes Our production is a fully vertical organization; this means that we are able to produce a shoe from beginning to the end. This also means that we can provide you with different “phases”, products or services. In the very beginning there is the human anatomy and the foot. The evaluation of the foot’s shape and size, results in information of measurements and digital or actual anatomic models. This can make you opt for a standard last and model (Personal Pair) or go further and customize every detail. At NM4Y Last, Supplement & Test Shoe Departments, we begin to make the shoe a personal item.

Information is vital Last making is based on anatomical information. In order to have the best result we ask you to send the plaster cast mould or digital foot files, together with measurements, blueprints and pictures of your client´s foot.

Polyurethane Lasts With a cast plaster mould, our technicians can produce your lasts manually. The Polyurethane lasts are extremely resistant and long lasting. If you wish you can ask for a test shoe that you can have your client wear. After youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had an evaluation of the fitting, you can order the shoe, which will be a replica of the test. All our lasts are built with your information and meeting your special requirements.

“At Nimco Made4You, Orthopaedic shoe construction combines the most recent medical knowledge and techniques with high quality craftsmanship and with style.” Olav Toornend COO and professional Orthopaedic Shoe Technician at NM4Y

Joint width

Adaptations on bottoms

All of our shoes are available in 4 different kind of standard widths: I. K. M and O : for ladies as well as for gentlemen. We have chosen the best option in joint with. This means that every width comes with its own joint width. The result is a difference in joint width of 1.5 cm between the narrowest width (I) and the widest width (O) within one and the same size. Apart from this, you have the option to choose several applications which create extra widths.

We can offer you various adjustments/changes on the sole-units of our footwear: ⋅We can supply the sole-units separate with the shoes ⋅We can make a carbon sole-reinforcement into the sole-unit ⋅The online ordering system also offers the possibility to give extra roll off on sole-unit.

Last The last system consists of four widths and four different last types. Standard last: last with normal last form. Nature last: the measurements of this last are similar to the standard last, but follow the shape of the foot in more a natural way. Broken last: the last has a smaller back part than the standard last. Broken Nature: combines the rear end of the broken last and the nose of the nature last

Further options Our 4 standard widths can be adapted individually to get the optimum fitting and comfort for your client. You can obtain additional volume to create a medial bunion pocket (hallux valgus), additional toe box depth, additional forepart depth or additional through depth.

NIMCO PROFESSIONAL SHOE SIZING SYSTEM Use Nimcoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shoe Sizing System to quick, accurately find the right size and last for your shoes. This app will allow you to obtain this information in less than two minutes.

First, make a blueprint of the foot and place it on the plate. Align the camera focus with the marks on the plate, make a picture and the system will determine length and width in mm.

Afterwards, place the foot on the plate and make a profile picture. Once again, align with the marks and shoot. The app will measure the joint circumference, cone and instep circumference. With this info, it will suggest two sizes, and two types of lasts for you to choose from. This system was developed for Nimco Made4You lasts, but as it presents all measurements in mm, it is possible to use the Professional Shoe Sizing System for all purposes.

To acquire the whole system, the app plus the plate, you must connect with http://www.nimcomade4you.com/3/81/Shoe-Sizing-system To Download the App â&#x20AC;&#x201C; go to https://itunes.apple.com/app/id814557160
