FAQs: Gift MODEL T Custom-Fit Shoes

How does the gift work?

The MODEL T is gifted as a $600 digital gift card, sent by email to your recipient on the reveal date you choose. They redeem the code on iambic.co to place their MODEL T order. Then they receive a welcome email from the IAMBIC Concierge team with instructions to complete their smartphone fit consultation in 10 to 15 minutes. Their custom pair is handcrafted in Portugal and delivered to their door in about 4 weeks, with behind-the-scenes updates from design to delivery.

What if I don’t know their size?

You never need it. The MODEL T is custom-fitted to your recipient through their IAMBIC fit consultation. There are no sizing decisions for you to make. Once they redeem their digital gift card, they receive instructions for the smartphone-based foot scan and fit questionnaire, built on NASA-grade computer vision and 20+ biometric variables.

How long does it take?

The gifted experience begins the day your recipient receives their digital gift card. From there, it unfolds over about 4 weeks from the date they complete their smartphone-based fit consultation, with behind-the-scenes updates through each step of the precision-fit shoemaking process. For any questions or special requests, our Concierge team is here to help.

What does my recipient go through to get their custom-fit shoes?

The entire shoe fit consultation is done on their smartphone, anywhere and anytime they choose. After redeeming their digital gift card at iambic.co, your recipient receives instructions to the IAMBIC smartphone app. They answer a few comfort questions, then follow guided steps to scan each foot. The whole process takes 10 to 15 minutes. A biomechanics-trained Concierge reviews their scan before anything is crafted. You can see the full process in our Virtual Consultation Guide.

What if the MODEL T doesn’t fit the recipient?

Every pair is built to fit your recipient exactly. If anything is off, the Signature Fit Guarantee covers unlimited refits with a biomechanics-trained Concierge until your recipient is fully satisfied.

Can I gift the MODEL T to someone outside the U.S.?

IAMBIC currently ships within the continental U.S. For gifting abroad, reach out to our Concierge team. We’ll walk through what’s possible together.
