The Craft of Handmade Shoes

Firstly an appointment is made with the London Shoemaker who will carefully take measurements of your feet.

Once you have been measured, a last (the wooden form of your foot) will be crafted by hand. A pattern of your chosen style is then made & your choice of leather is then cut to this pattern.

From here the upper is put together before we produce the shoe through to a “fitting”. The shoe is now ready for you to try on & at this stage if there are any alterations that need to be made they are easily done.

After your fitting we generally finish off the shoe by putting the soles & heels on. Your shoes are then fitted with a pair of hand made shoe trees & finally polished to a gleaming shine, ready for you to wear with pride.
