Made to Order Information
Sizing

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

Materials
Shoes and boots are made using premium leather hides from gold-rated Italian tanneries, alongside world renowned Vibram soling for durability, sustainability and comfort.
I work with a deliberately limited palette, colours chosen for longevity and ease of wear over many years. A high-quality pair of handmade shoes is designed to last well over a decade, and a restrained colour choice supports that longevity.
Signature colours include: black, coffee, oak, tawny, moss, and honey. Swatch shown above. Colours straight from the woods!
A lighter-weight oak bark tanned leather is used for decorative elements (shown below main colours), chosen to correspond with the main leather colour. Additional decorative leather colours are: petrol, damson, and rust.
Maker
Fairysteps shoes have wandered far since their beginnings in 2002, and many imitations have appeared along the way. Yet every true pair is still made by the original fairy shoemaker, hand-shaped in my West Country woodland workshop from beautiful full-grain leathers, using time honoured traditional skills. There is only one maker of Fairysteps.

Returns

Weddings
For your special day and every one that follows, choose comfort. Fairysteps has been privileged to have given many brides that 'walking on air' feeling.
Any of the styles from the Made-to-Order shoe collection make an excellent choice for bridal wear. Brides have the option to request specific ribbon shades which I will endeavour to match. Just ask in the notes box provided.
