Bespoke Orthopaedic Shoes Crafted from Individual Lasts creating Unrivalled Comfort

At Bill Bird Shoes, we specialise in creating truly Bespoke Footwear, beginning with one of the most crucial element; the Last. A last is the wooden form on which each shoe is built, and we craft individual lasts tailored specifically to your feet. Each and every pair of Lasts are made to to match the contours of your feet and enhance the unique way you walk, ensuring an exceptional fit that mass-produced shoes simply cannot provide.

Using a traditional blend of shoemaking expertise and modern technologies, we take meticulous measurements, foot casts, photographs and ink impressions, in order to get the fit of your last as precise as possible. This attention to detail allows us to produce footwear that is made of high quality leathers and materials, supportive in the rear foot, secure around the instep and with plenty of space around the toes - essential elements for comfort and long-term foot health.
