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, and tawny, with occasional seasonal specials.
A lighter-weight oak bark tanned leather is used for decorative elements, chosen to compliment the main leather colour.
Maker
All Dulcie May footwear is designed and made by me, Ren, in my woodland studio. I have been making shoes, boots, and bags for decades, working entirely by hand using vintage sewing machines and traditional techniques.
Care
Leather likes to be loved. Apply a good quality polish such as Renapur on a regular basis to keep your shoes and boots looking beautiful.
