Testimonials

Steph approaches shoemaking with style, a keen eye for biomechanics and patience. Over the years she has been unfazed by both my high pain levels and the ever-changing nature of my complex disabilities. With Steph you can expect a caring and friendly environment where you work one on one with your shoemaker to create a beautiful pair of shoes and a unique orthopaedic specification.

Mr W
Orthopaedic footwear customer

Caring, thoughtful, creative, skillful, - and most importantly - Steph listens to what her client is saying and works to understand the problems. In consequence: Happier feet. She makes shoes that look good too.

Dr M
Orthopaedic footwear customer

Steph has made me four beautiful pairs of shoes in recent years. She is understanding and empathetic and is always keen to make orthopaedic shoes with a touch of elegance.

She worked with me to make shoes that work for my problem feet but look good at the same time.

Mrs C
Orthopaedic Footwear Customer

Steph has a refreshing, open, willing and honest approach to making you the best shoes possible for your feet. I have been having shoes made for me over 60 years and finally in Steph I have found someone who will listen to what I want, explain what is possible and produce a pair of light weight elegant shoes for me. I have no hesitation in recommending her skills, professionalism and quality.

Mrs W
Orthopaedic Footwear Customer

I broke my ankle really badly back in the 1980s and, as a consequence of the injury, I subsequently developed 'secondary osteoarthritis' [this is different to the progressively deteriorating disease] and it significantly limited my mobility.

That was 40 years ago. After living with the condition as best I could, it became too much and I was referred to Steph to see if she might help with some new orthotics for my footwear.

She is really good, - thorough, kind and professional.

Suffice to say that the new orthotics she made for me reduced my pain and discomfort 80/90% - Really!

Whilst I do still need support on longer days out, I can now walk around my home and town without a walking stick and awake the next day, with no pain or swelling.

Go see her, you won't regret it

Mr F
Orthotic Insole customer

Steph has recently made insoles for me and my husband because we both had foot pain when walking any distance, and off-the-shelf arch supports that we wore were no longer helping.

However, with Steph's insoles the pain had gone! I decided to take my mum over to see her as she struggles to walk nowadays because of a painful fused foot. She's had NHS insoles but the ones Steph made for her are immeasurably better and now she can walk further. So that's three very happy customers.

Furthermore, Steph couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Any tweaks or alteration needed will all be done free of charge. We're incredibly lucky to have her on our doorstep but many people come many miles to see her, and I can understand why.

Thanks Steph
