About

Orthopaedic Footwear trading as James Taylor & Son

Having a pair of shoes that fit perfectly and look good can make a big difference to your life. Established in 1857 James Taylor & Son has built up an excellent reputation for beautifully made, comfortable shoes. That's nearly 150 years of perfecting the craft of traditional hand-made shoemaking resulting in boots and shoes of superior quality.

About us

In 1952 the Orthopaedic Footwear Company Ltd led by Hannes Schweiger took over James Taylor & Son when the grandsons Frank and Ernest Taylor wanted to retire. Hannes Schweiger combined footwear skills with the ability to make footwear for people with medical conditions and had an NHS contract for many years. James Taylor & Son continues to be a family business, that lends itself to being the only shoemaker that can offer you a personal service, the expertise, and experience to make shoes individually for you and your needs. Peter Schweiger, managing director since 1972, learned his shoe making skills from his father.

How we can help you.

He is ably supported by a team of craftsmen and women experienced in the art of creating beautiful hand made shoes that will make you smile. We are able to offer a complete range of services that envelops everything from shoe making, repairing, adapting shoes with wedges and raises, to stocking a range of the best sundries to keep your shoes and boots looking their best. We also stock a range of ready made shoes and sandals that provide instant comfort and support. Once you've worn a pair of "Taylor Made" shoes, we're confident you'll become one of our valued regular customers. Why not contact us to make an appointment now? You'll be doing your feet a great favour.

If You Want Handmade Shoes That Fit Your Feet Perfectly or Orthopaedic Shoes That Provide Total Comfort Our Custom Made Shoes Will Exceed Your Expectations. When you require new footwear 'off the shelf' shoes can sometimes be the most natural choice but when compared to bespoke shoes they can often be ill fitting with potentially damaging results and not such good value as they first appear. Similarly if you have a medical condition that affects your feet simply ignoring your special requirements instead of considering custom made orthopaedic shoes can lead to a worsening of your condition and does nothing to ease the discomfort you feel. That's why at James Taylor & Son you'll find the finest handmade shoes created by highly skilled craftsmen using only the very best materials as well as a wide range of orthopaedic footwear designed and made to help control your condition providing your feet with complete comfort.

Due to polio walking is impossible with out the shoes made especially for me. A wheel chair would be the alternative and those things change lives for the worse. Shoes allow me to walk just like every one else and to stand and look people in the eye. The ones I have look decent and smart, so good for self esteme. I'll keep to my Taylormade shoes.
