What our customers say
MRS R, Orthotic Insoles
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
Mrs W, Orthopaedic Shoes
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.
Mr W, Orthopaedic Shoes
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.
