Beautifully made, perfectly fitting bespoke and orthopaedic footwear

At James Taylor & Son we have been making beautiful bespoke and orthopaedic footwear for over 150 years.  We have built-up a world-wide reputation for providing high quality, perfectly fitting shoes and boots, and we continue to use traditional, highly-skilled shoemaking techniques and the highest quality materials.

We also use world-leading technology to ensure accurate fit and the best possible support for your foot condition.  We have an outstanding 3D foot scanning system and we use the most powerful CAD software for shoe last and orthotic design.  So we can capture the precise shape of your feet and then design bespoke shoe lasts that provide the exact fit and design that you require.

Our bespoke last making process is the most advanced in the world, but the skills that we apply to the making of your shoes remain traditional and timeless. Hand finished beech lasts, individual pattern designs, leather clicking, closing and making - all done by the most skilled craftsmen in the industry.

At James Taylor & Son we are dedicated to making wonderful footwear, to fit feet of any shape or size.
