Some local vendors/shoemakers can also make custom footwear. Most are unlikely to be found around the web so asking around the neighbourhood you are located in might be a shortcut to success there.

My guess it depends on the definition of "advertisements". If I recommend my favourite baby food shop to someone asking for ideas and suggestions on the topic, would that be considered a violation? Should not be the case. Whereas XYZ corporation coming in to say how great their services are, I think we are all much sick and tired of that and heavyweight moderation is certainly due.
