Bespoke & Orthopaedic Shoemaker

Does your independence and pride have to take a back seat when it comes to footwear?
Is there someone you can go to who understands that the quality, comfort and appearance of your footwear is important to you? The answer is yes.

Do you need quality orthotics and a professional service at all times ?

I am Philip J Taylor

I have 40 years bespoke and orthopaedic shoemaking experience.
I am a member of the British Polio Fellowship's Specialist Orthotics Panel.
I specialise in taking on the most difficult footwear and orthotics for people with disabilities or long term conditions.

And what can my service offer you?

We will make footwear and orthotics that will improve your mobility and wellbeing.
We will make footwear you are proud to wear.
We will complete your footwear order in six weeks or sooner if possible (conditions apply).
We will complete your orthotics order in 5 days or soonr if possible.
We will support you if you want to have the footwear or orthotics I make supplied through the NHS (please see NHS footwear page).
We will guarantee the lowest price for the specialist service provided.

The footwear and orthotics we make is designed to give our clients the sense of wellbeing that comes as a result of having shoes and boots that fit properly and still look good. We specialise in making footwear for people with all sorts of foot and mobility problems, but always try to keep in mind that the customer wants the shoes to look as normal as possible.

So what can I do for you?

I am confident that my experience and expertise will help people with the most severe disabilities receive the footwear they need. Please refer to the 'information' page for further details.

The Cordwainer offers a limited Nationwide Visiting Service for those unable to travel to the shop for measuring and fitting, this does however add to the time it takes to complete your order.

The workshop in the Peak District in Derbyshire is easy to find and we have plenty of parking and a ramp up to the workshop, we are easily accessible by train too. Please telephone first to make an appointment.

* Please note that Sat Nav systems often lead customers into local lanes near the workshop. The workshop is located on Stretfield Road, Brough, approximately 500 yards from the trafiic lights.
