A selection of testimonials and case studies from our customers

Dear Tony Just to let you know that thanks to you this is the first time I have worn a dress since my accident, I felt confident in my new shoes and felt like a woman again. My husband actually said he had his old Ann back. You will never know how I feel inside because of your kindness and understanding you are helping to give me some of my personality back and the shoes are worth every penny and more to feel like that again. With fondest regards Ann Paine xxxx Skipper Mike Luke came to us as a yachtsman who had unfortunately been confined to cumbersome leg irons for over 20 years to keep him mobile. This caused him great stress and inconvenience on his travels as he was in constant pain and discomfort. Built in orthotics We were able to fashion him a pair of trainers with built in orthotics to support his feet and stabilize him so that he had no more need of the leg irons he had believed he would wear for the rest of his life. Mr. Luke walked out of our shop after collecting his new trainers holding his irons in his hand. He has subsequently reported back to us that his life has completely changed and that he now has much more confidence, not only on his yacht, but also socially and he finds himself enjoying a night out in the Mediterranean much more frequently. Mike's original boots Mike's new shoes Please contact us for more information.   Mrs Hughes approched our company in 2003 after finding out about us on the internet. She was really struggling to find suitable shoes as she has narrow feet and severely pronating ankles which made it impossible to find any footwear that fit and were comfortable. Also because of work she found it very frustrating not being able to wear smart shoes to suit the professional environment in which she works. Mrs Hughes travels all over the world on business trips and was desperate for help when she came to us. Shoes in different styles and colours Since her first visit when we made her a pair of office shoes she has been back to visit us from Canada many times and has had a variety of shoes in different styles and colours made. She is thrilled to now be comfortable and look the part in all her dealings with clients. Please contact us for more information. Mrs H has been a customer of Special Footwear for a number of years now. She came to us in desperation after having had hospital boots made to accommodate for the fact that she had one leg significantly shorter than the other and generally finding it impossible to find shoes that fit. Though the boots fit her well enough she was in dire need of a pair of shoes she could wear that did not look like orthopaedic boots and could in fact be worn out on special occasions without embarrassment. She had lost all hope of ever being able to wear shoes that were not clumpy, ugly and unfashionable. Orthopaedic shoes need not be ugly When she found out about us she made an appointment to come and see our shoemaker, not really believing that there was any real possibility of finding what she was looking for. This was the first of many pairs of shoes for her. Orthopaedic shoes for almost every occasion Mrs H has now had shoes made for almost every occasion, black suede with gold trimming, black calf, navy and cream calf and many other pairs as well. She is ecstatic to finally have beautiful, comfortable shoes that allow her to wear fashionable clothing and do not limit her lifestyle.
