Case Studies - Irma's Story

How a shoemaker changed her life





Irma Pillay from the Seychelles was born with a stump and could never wear modern / fashionable footwear.

She came to London on holiday and passed the Special Footwear shop in New Cavendish Street.

She went in for a free consultation. Tony Andrews explained how they could design and make footwear suitable for her needs.

A week later she went in for a fitting. Tony Andrews made her a pair of black boots to accommodate her stump and a forepart to recreate her foot for balance. A second pair in brown was made later.

These boots really did change Irma’s life. Now she can confidently wear jeans without anyone noticing the difference. Her self confidence grew, she met her boyfriend and now she’s married with a little boy! And all thanks to the generosity and skill of Tony Andrews and the Special Footwear team.
