My Own Work
Mass produced footwear does not suit everybody. In my workshops I cater for people who have difficulty finding shoes in the market place. There are different reasons for needing or wanting shoes that are specific for your feet.
- You wear orthotics and need extra depth.
- You may have one foot bigger than the other.
- Your podiatrist or GP has recommended custom footwear.
- Extra wide or narrow feet.
- Extra large or extra small feet.
- You may require something for a special occasion and simply cannot find what you want in the shops.
- You may want to design your own pattern and/or choose a colour without being dictated to by the current trend.
- I aim to provide shoes which suit the wearers needs in terms of design and colour, but also accommodate the physical needs of the foot.
The Footwear
- Leather uppers and leather lining.
- Minimal seams on inside for comfort.
- Wide variety of styles, colours and leather to choose from.
- Variety of soling available to suit different requirements.
- Padded insole for cushioned comfort.
- Optional arch support or comfort footbed.
- Steel shanks and a variety of heel stiffening.
- Custom design, appliqué and machine embroidery.
Please contact me to discuss your requirements and have your feet measured to see if making shoes on a workshop is something that can be done on a weekend or if you will need extra time to accommodate your needs.
