About Us

https://specialfootwear.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/img-people-01-1.jpg
Custom Made Footwear

At Special Footwear and Orthotics, we make custom made orthotics and bespoke footwear for problem feet. We pride ourselves on making orthopedic footwear look attractive, stylish, and elegant whilst also being supportive.

For women particularly, a lot of specialist footwear made to accommodate foot conditions can be heavy, bulky, and ugly. At Special Footwear and Orthotics, we can make any type of made to measure women’s footwear for customers who cannot buy readymade shoes, whether this be custom sandals, high heels, court shoes or boots, no matter the shape of your foot, we have never turned a customer away!

Custom Made Orthotics

We also make bespoke Men’s footwear for any type of foot problem. We have made plenty of slip-on shoes, where laces are nuisance or mobility and dexterity is an issue for the customer. We also make stylish and high-quality brogues, with a range of leathers and specialist materials to choose from. If you can imagine your dream shoe, we can make it.

In many cases, specialist footwear and orthotics come hand in hand. We often create footwear for problem feet with built in orthotics to support the foot. However, we can make custom made orthotics to fit into your existing footwear or handmade shoes to accommodate your orthotics.

Master Shoe Maker

Tony Andrews

Special Footwear and Orthotics started out in Owner and Founder Tony Andrews’ bedroom, when he was just in his twenties. Tony first started making shoes when he was just 11 years old. His father was a shoemaker so he used to help wherever he could. This is when he discovered his natural skill and love for the art of shoemaking.

After a few years of experience making orthopaedic footwear for the NHS, Tony started making shoes for private customers in his spare time with limited equipment in his bedroom. Within no time, the demand outgrew his humble bedroom workshop and in 1968, the company Special Footwear and Orthotics was born. The first shop opened on Blackstock Road, Finsbury Park, London.

    I suffer with bunions and hammer toes and arthritis in my feet. To look at my shoes you wouldn’t think so. I had three pairs of shoes, one pair of trainers and one pair of sandals, so far! I love them all. Best footwear, Best Service I’ve ever had.

    Thank you for changing my life. Giving me back a quality of life that I never thought possible. My shoes are priceless to me. After two years of not being able to walk more than ten minutes, I can now walk over two hours a day, pain free!
