Every pair of Fairysteps shoes and boots is one of a kind. Crafted from full-grain leather, each is cut, stitched and finished by hand. Choose the exact pair shown in the photographs from the dropdown menu.

A true cottage-core shoe designed for everyday comfort and easy wear. Adaptable for a variety of width fittings, making them especially comfortable for hard-to-fit feet. Ideal for weddings, gatherings, or everyday woodland wandering where style meets practicality.

See the Information section below for sizing, delivery, and ordering guidance.

    Maker

    All Fairysteps products are designed and made by me, in my long-established woodland studio on the edge of Dartmoor. Living and working amongst acres of woodland, I create shoes, boots, bags and textiles by hand using vintage sewing machines and traditional techniques.

    Proudly made in England since 2002.

    Sizing Guidance

    Footwear Sizing


    Footwear available in sizes UK 2 to UK 7 with styles designed to adapt to various width fittings adjusting from narrow to wide.


    How to measure
    Use the diagram below to take your length measurement (both feet), and compare to size chart below. Allow wiggle room based on your own personal preference.


    Our shoes are generous. Customers nearly always 'size down' so as a general rule, order one size down from your usual commercial shoe size, eg: usual size = EU 39 / UK 6, order size = EU 38 / UK 5. Half sizes should go down to the next full size below.


    Place a sheet of paper and your heel against a straight wall. With pencil held upright, mark the longest toe. If ordering boots wear socks when measuring, for shoes, feet should be barefoot.


    INTERIOR FINISHED LENGTH

    UK 2 - Length: 22.9 cm
    UK 3 - Length: 23.8 cm  
    UK 4 - Length: 24.7 cm  
    UK 5 - Length: 25.6 cm 
    UK 6 - Length: 26.5 cm 
    UK 7 - Length: 27.4 cm

    Example; my foot length measurement is 25.5 cm and I am a high street shoe size of UK 7. I select size UK 6 for boots & shoes.


    Overseas Sizing Conversion Table & Order notes for International customers

    UK 2 / US 4 / EU 34
    UK 3 / US 5 / EU 35.5
    UK 4 / US 6 / EU 37
    UK 5 / US 7 / EU 38
    UK 6 / US 8 / EU 39
    UK 7 / US 9 / EU 40.5

    Conversions are approximate, measure before ordering & check the chart. An International customer who wears a US size 8 would convert to a UK 6, but will need to select UK 5 when ordering, thus following the 'down one size' rule.

    Please note: Customers are responsible for taking accurate measurements following the detailed instructions given.

    Leather & Soling

    I use premium hides from gold-rated Italian tanneries. The palette is small and nature-led, usually includes — black, coffee, oak, tawny, plum and mossy green — chosen to age well and last for years. Occasional limited colours appear in small runs.

    Soling is from Vibram, recognised for its supreme comfort and durability. I use various profiles - Flat (zero drop) / Heel / Chunky Wedge. The soling is noted alongside the colour and size on each product dropdown, soling profiles are shown on the FAQS page.

    After Care

    Shoes, Bags & Leathergoods

    Leather likes to be loved - caring for your leatherwear will always be time well spent. Apply a good quality polish such as Renapur on a regular basis to keep your shoes, bags and purses looking beautiful.

    Textiles

    Dresses are made with pre-washed, pre-shrunk materials. I recommend machine washing at 30 and line drying (avoid tumble drying) - pop your pinny on and peg it out!

    Knitwear should be handwashed gently - laid flat to dry.

    The fits perfect!

    "I live in Canada and wear a size 10 here. So I ordered a size 6 recommended by the gal that made the shoes for me. Everything about them was exactly as I expected and perfectly matched all the pictures that I saw of the shoes. The colors gorgeous. The fits perfect. They're absolutely delightful. I am very, very pleased"

    Another pair beyond compare!

    "Absolutely delighted that Ren decided to offer this shoe style in a rare size 2. I own a few pairs of her gloriously comfy shoes now and size 3 does the trick with socks and a foam insole, but this shoe fits like a glove on my bare foot making it the perfect spring and summer addition to my collection. Now I can wear Dulcie May all year round! Let the fairies rejoice! Weeeee!! The color and fit are gorgeous, the ribbons whimsical and sweet. I truly feel like Cinderella every time I slip these onto my feet. They have the perfect wider toe box for my toes to spread comfortably and yet somehow the rest of the shoe fits the petite narrow part of the rear of my foot perfectly. I don’t know how she does it! True fairy shoe magic is the only explanation. I absolutely love them. Thank you!!"

    Perfect for skipping in the woods

    "Such a beautiful pair of Clara shoes , gorgeous leather in a sumptuous plum shade . Love this style , so comfy and easy to wear . I really do like the heel , it's my first heeled pair of fairysteps . Can't wait for the spring to come so I can skip about the woods wearing them . I bought these to replace my Quince shoes , Clara's predecessor I believe . I have had my Quince shoes re-soled 3 times and sadly I have worn the leather too thin to re-sole a 4th time . I wore them come rain or shine for it must be well over a decade , and how loved they were . I know my new Clara's will be just as loved . Thank you Ren , so much x"
