Conker Shoes

UK · Est. 1977 · Mid-range

Conker Shoes has made leather footwear in Totnes, Devon, since 1977. Its workshop sits behind its high street shop, where customers can see ready-to-wear styles as well as discuss a pair made to order. The brand makes shoes, boots and sandals for women, men and children, all in its own Devon workshop. Customization is a practical part of Conker’s offering. Depending on the style, customers can choose colours, soles, stitching and details such as laces or buckles. Its website lists sizes 1–13, including half sizes and four fittings, giving shoppers more ways to address fit than a single standard width. Conker also offers zero-rise and barefoot options within its range. The shoes use stitched-down construction and are designed so the workshop can resole and repair them after wear. Shoppers can order through the official site or visit the Totnes store to try available pairs. For a custom order, check the fitting and delivery information for the chosen style before placing it.

Goral Shoes

UK · Est. 1936 · Mid-range

GORAL is a family shoemaking business with Polish roots and a factory in Sheffield, England. Franciszek Goral opened the original workshop in Poland in 1936. The family moved its shoemaking operation to Sheffield in 2005, and descendant Dominik Goral now leads the brand. Its current footwear draws on that manufacturing history while using shapes suited to everyday wear. GORAL makes leather sneakers, shoes and boots in its Sheffield factory. The selection includes low and high top sneakers, with some models offered in regular and wider fittings. Materials and construction vary by style, making the individual size and leather guides useful when choosing a pair. The brand also offers a factory resole and refurbishment service for eligible footwear. Customers can buy from GORAL’s official website, which explains its fit options and repair services. For anyone searching whether GORAL shoes are made in the UK, the relevant distinction is that the family workshop began in Poland, while the present brand’s shoes are made in Sheffield.

Crown Northampton

UK · Est. 1908 · Mid-range

Crown Northampton is the flagship footwear brand of a family shoemaking business established in 1908 by Ernest Woodford. The business began in London and later moved to Northampton, a town closely associated with English shoemaking. It remains under Woodford family ownership, with fifth-generation shoemaker Chris Woodford directing the company. The range brings traditional shoemaking methods to contemporary sneakers, shoes and boots. Its collections include understated leather sneakers and more substantial stitched styles. Crown says its footwear is made from start to finish in England, with every pair produced to order at its Northampton factory. That makes it useful to check the stated production time before purchasing, as an order is made specifically for the customer. Crown Northampton sells directly through its website and offers fitting guidance for shoppers comparing its sizes with familiar sneaker brands. Customers can also enquire about a factory appointment. The brand’s focus on individual production and local craftsmanship is central to its identity; materials and construction differ by collection, so the product page is the best reference for a particular pair.

Open YY

South Korea · Est. 2020 · Mid-range

OPEN YY is a Seoul fashion brand created in 2020 by sisters Jiyoung and Boyoung Kim. It began as TheOpen Product and later adopted its current name, drawing “YY” from the sisters’ shared name element, “Young.” The label presents womenswear and unisex pieces with expressive details, alongside shoes, bags and accessories. For footwear shoppers, OPEN YY’s range includes ballet flats and other styles that follow its clothing collections. Its designs often use familiar shapes with changes to straps, cut-outs or proportions. The official shop separates shoes from clothing and provides product-specific measurements, which are useful because construction and sizing can differ between pairs. OPEN YY sells through its Korean and international websites and lists stockists in other markets. It also provides information about its Seoul store. Shoppers interested in a particular collaboration can browse the brand’s archive, which includes projects with Puma and Keen, while checking current listings to see what remains available. The company’s registered address is in Seoul’s Yongsan district, and Boyoung Kim is named in its business details.

Salon de Ju

South Korea · Est. 2015 · Mid-range

SALONDEJU is a Seoul women’s shoe label launched in 2015 by designer Sungju An. The brand describes its design approach as bringing classic, antique-inspired footwear into a contemporary wardrobe. Cowhide and sheepskin leather feature in its stated material direction, though the materials of a particular pair should be checked on its product page. Its shop includes flats, sandals and boots, along with heels, mules and selected children’s shoes. SALONDEJU also has an Essential line that interprets its designs in simpler forms for everyday wear. Details such as straps, toe shapes and heel heights vary considerably, making the individual shoe specifications useful when comparing styles and fit. Customers can browse and order on the official site or visit the brand’s showroom in Seongdong-gu, Seoul. The site provides product descriptions, size information and customer reviews. Some shoes are produced after ordering; the stated production and dispatch timing depends on the listing, so it is worth checking before purchase. The showroom address and visiting hours are published on SALONDEJU’s website.

Marie Mon Dieu

South Korea · Est. 2015 · Mid-range

Marie mon dieu is a South Korean women’s footwear brand established in 2015. Its official site lists Hyun-chul Hwang as the business representative. The brand was created to offer contemporary women’s handmade shoes, and it says all production stages take place at its own factory in South Korea. Rather than limiting itself to one shoe type, Marie mon dieu develops its own lasts and applies them to a varied range. Its online selection includes flats, Mary Janes, loafers, slingbacks, mules, heels, sandals and sneakers. Those different shapes make the product details and size choices especially relevant when moving between styles. The brand describes its work as combining experienced shoemakers’ methods with current designs. Marie mon dieu sells through its official Korean-language website, where individual listings show size options and delivery information. Selected product pages offer overseas destination choices, so international shoppers should check whether their country is available for the pair they want. The site advises particular care with overseas orders because exchange and return arrangements differ from domestic purchases. Its listed business address is in Seoul’s Gangnam district.

Maison Marais

South Korea · Est. 2014 · Mid-range

MAISONMARAIS is a Seoul women’s fashion brand launched in 2014 by designer Jiyoon Kwac. Its collections build relaxed, contemporary looks around silhouettes the brand describes as masculine. Clothing is its main focus, with shoes, bags and accessories extending the same approach across an outfit. Shoppers looking for MAISONMARAIS footwear should expect a selected fashion range rather than a dedicated shoemaker’s catalogue. The brand has listed styles such as ankle boots and long boots alongside ready-to-wear, including jackets, knitwear, denim, dresses and tailoring. Its seasonal collections change the details and styling, so the current shoes are best viewed in the context of the full collection. MAISONMARAIS operates an official online shop with a footwear category and provides store information for people who want to shop in person. It also maintains a stockist page. The company lists its headquarters in Seoul’s Yongsan district. Its own site spells the designer’s name Kwac Jiyoon; that is the spelling used here. Check the individual product page for material, sizing and availability before ordering a specific pair.

Flat Apartment

South Korea · Est. 2010 · Mid-range

Flat Apartment is a Seoul footwear design studio founded in 2010 by Kyunghee Seo and Kwangsub Yie. It draws on art, culture and everyday details to make shoes with a minimal base and an unexpected shape or proportion. The brand works with Seoul artisans, and its history includes footwear collaborations with Camper and Trading Museum Comme des Garçons. Its current range covers ballerina flats, platforms, sandals, heels and boots, alongside bags and accessories. The chunky Namak platform designs show its more sculptural side, while its simpler flats offer a quieter introduction to the label. Flat Apartment’s official site is the most direct place to see which styles and colours are currently available. All Flat Apartment shoes are made to order, with the brand estimating around 10–20 days for production after payment confirmation. It uses Italian sizing and publishes conversions through Korean size 270. Because its ordering policy excludes routine cancellations, returns and exchanges, checking the size guide or contacting customer service before ordering is particularly useful. The English-language store provides information for international customers.

Neute

South Korea · Est. 2020 · Mid-range

NEUTE is a South Korean leather footwear brand whose official site lists Sunjae Lee as its owner. Its name and design approach centre on neutral, essential pieces, with details intended to give familiar shoe shapes an individual feel. The brand’s own introduction highlights derbies, loafers and flats as core styles. Its online shop also carries sandals, heels, clogs, boots and a small selection of accessories. That breadth makes NEUTE useful to browse for everyday leather footwear as well as a more shaped heel or seasonal sandal. Product listings give individual style and size options, so checking the specific shoe is more useful than assuming the same fit throughout the range. NEUTE states that its products are handmade and made to order. Its order guidance sets an early deadline for changes or cancellations, making it sensible to settle sizing before checkout. Some product pages also advise keeping their leather and wooden-heel components away from rain and snow. The brand lists a Seoul address and operates an English-language online shop with a destination selector for international customers.

Pieton

South Korea · Est. 2022 · Mid-range

Piéton is a Seoul-based footwear brand associated with Jinhee Seo, whom its official site identifies as owner and CEO. Introduced in 2022, the label takes inspiration from women’s lives in cities and from urban architecture. It starts its designs with the shoe last, using that foundation to create sculptural shapes with a restrained overall look. The range includes boots, loafers, pumps, slingbacks and sandals, with some bags also appearing in its shop. This is a useful brand to explore if you are looking for women’s shoes with a distinctive shape that can still work across seasons. Its current company address is in Seongdong-gu, Seoul. Piéton’s English-language site allows direct ordering and provides a size guide. It uses Italian shoe sizes, with a published chart corresponding to Korean sizes 220–260; the brand advises checking each product page because the last can affect fit. Its shipping guide distinguishes in-stock items from made-to-order items and explains the arrangements for international orders. Stockist information is also available on the site for shoppers who prefer to locate a retailer.

OSOI

South Korea · Est. 2016 · Mid-range

OSOI is a Seoul-based accessories brand founded in 2016 by Heejin Kang, who is also listed as the company’s CEO. It is best known for bags with distinctive shapes, but its range extends to shoes and accessories. On the official site, shoppers can browse tote, shoulder and crossbody bags alongside flats, loafers, heels, boots, sandals and sneakers. The brand describes its aim as creating designs with lasting appeal while introducing new materials, colours and details each season. That gives OSOI a recognisable design language without tying every collection to one silhouette. Someone looking specifically for OSOI shoes should use the footwear categories, since bags occupy much of the broader brand selection. OSOI sells through its international website and provides separate store and stockist directories for finding it in person or through other retailers. Its English-language shop offers shipping to many destinations, with regional exceptions; orders for Japan and South Korea use other channels. Check the destination and product details before ordering, particularly for footwear sizing. The company’s listed address is in Seoul’s Yongsan district.

White Kloud

Japan · Est. 2005 · Mid-range

White Kloud is a Japanese custom boot workshop established by shoemaker Show Goto in 2005. Its central offering is a pair made for one customer by one craftsperson, who takes it through the stages from cutting the leather to attaching the sole. Customers seeking White Kloud bespoke boots should expect a workshop-led process rather than a standard selection of ready-to-wear sizes. Goto’s path to bootmaking included work with motorcycle boots, foot massage, shoemaking study and shoe repair. He says those experiences shaped his aim to make boots that are gentle on the feet. White Kloud combines the appearance of substantial leather boots with close attention to construction and individual fit; a visit to the workshop is part of its invitation to custom-order customers. The workshop is in Koshigaya, Saitama, outside central Tokyo. Its website also presents Jack & White Brothers, a separate, small-production boot line made with specialist Japanese craftspeople and offered through the online store. Check which line a listing belongs to before comparing availability, sizing or ordering arrangements.

Brass Tokyo

Japan · Est. 2007 · Mid-range

Brass Tokyo began in 2007 as a shoe repair workshop in Setagaya, Tokyo. Founder Minoru Tokuyama built the business around keeping well-loved footwear in use through repair and customization. That experience led to CLINCH BOOTS, Brass’s own footwear line, in 2012. Today, people searching for Brass Tokyo boots will usually encounter CLINCH alongside the workshop’s repair services. CLINCH makes leather boots and shoes in Brass’s workshop using shaped lasts and hand-sewn welted construction. Its approach draws on classic footwear, with an emphasis on how a pair fits, ages and can be repaired over time. The Brass site also carries related projects, including Bruschetta Shoes and shoe-care goods, so it helps to distinguish the workshop from its CLINCH brand when browsing. Brass has a store in Daita, Setagaya, and lists stockists for shoppers elsewhere. Its online shop offers a way to explore current models, while customers interested in a custom order or repair can contact the workshop directly. Check the store’s current opening information before visiting, as its holidays vary.

RFW Tokyo

Japan · Est. 1998 · Mid-range

RFW is a Japanese footwear brand launched in 1998 by designer Takashi Kanokogi. Originally called Rhythm Footwear, it adopted the RFW name and a new logo with its 2012 spring and summer collection. The brand’s approach centres on simple, familiar shoes distinguished by the way their uppers are cut and assembled. Sneakers make up much of the range, including the Sandwich and Bagel families. Sandwich is a signature design whose upper pattern wraps around the foot; Bagel includes low and mid-cut variations. RFW’s official shop also lists boots and sandals. Materials and fit change between models, so shoppers should use the measurements and descriptions on the specific product page. RFW sells through its own online shop and lists other dealers on its website. It is a Japanese design brand, but that does not mean every pair is made in Japan: an official Bagel listing, for example, states Made in China. Checking the origin of the chosen style avoids confusing the brand’s location with its manufacturing location.

Blue Over

Japan · Est. 2011 · Mid-range

Blueover is a sneaker brand launched in Osaka in 2011 by product designer Taichi Watari. Watari created it after questioning rapid cycles of product development and seeing the pressures on Japan’s small footwear factories. Blueover works with that manufacturing network and says it sources materials and carries out production processes in Japan wherever possible. The brand designs sneakers primarily for standing and walking. Its lasts give the forefoot room, while materials and sole firmness are chosen with repeated everyday wear in mind. Mikey, a long-running model, uses a last developed for Japanese feet; Marco brings a more shoe-like look to a cushioned sneaker. Blueover also considers durability in its designs, although construction and repair options differ between models. The official online store provides size guidance, and its fit information notes that the roomy forefoot may affect which size a customer chooses. Blueover is a relevant comparison for shoppers seeking wider Japanese-made walking sneakers with a restrained design and an emphasis on domestic shoemaking.

Hender Scheme

Japan · Est. 2010 · Luxury

Hender Scheme is a Japanese footwear and leather-goods label started in 2010 by designer Ryo Kashiwazaki. Its work questions familiar distinctions between men’s and women’s products and between industrial design and handcraft. Leather is central to the brand, especially in pieces intended to develop visible character through handling and wear. Footwear includes original designs and the manual industrial products line, which reinterprets familiar sneaker forms through a different, more manual production process. Hender Scheme also makes bags and other leather accessories. Its official site says the soles of the manual industrial products sneakers can be replaced, an important detail for shoppers considering long-term use. Materials and sizing vary by style, so the individual listing matters more than a single brand-wide fit rule. Customers can shop through Hender Scheme’s official sukima online store and physical stores in Japan. The label particularly suits someone interested in leather sneakers whose colour and surface will change with use, as well as a broader collection of everyday leather objects.

Guild Tokyo

Japan · Est. 1996 · Mid-range

Guild of Crafts is a Japanese shoemaking house founded in 1996 by Chihiro Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi began making shoes in Kyoto in 1980 and later studied shoemaking in England. He established Guild of Crafts at a time when bespoke shoes were still unfamiliar to many customers in Japan, developing the house’s own methods for measuring feet and making lasts. Guild offers bespoke, made-to-order and ready-to-wear footwear. Bespoke begins with the customer’s measurements and a dedicated last, followed by fittings. Made-to-order uses an established Guild last, while ready-to-wear provides a finished-shoe option. Its model lists include Oxfords, buckle shoes and boots, with designs for both men and women. Availability depends on the ordering route and model. The official website explains the different lines and accepts appointment enquiries for orders, maintenance and repairs. Guild is a useful brand to consider when comparing Japanese bespoke shoemakers because customers can see how its approach to fit carries across three ways of buying a shoe.

Marquess Shoemaker

Japan · Est. 2011 · Luxury

Marquess is a bespoke shoemaking atelier established in Tokyo in 2011 by Shoji Kawaguchi. His interest in British footwear took him to Northampton, where he studied shoemaking, and later to training with bespoke maker Paul Wilson. Kawaguchi returned to Japan in 2008 and opened Marquess three years later. The atelier moved to Ginza in 2017. Marquess is known for understated leather shoes whose shape, fit and finishing receive close attention. A bespoke order starts with a meeting and foot measurements. The team makes a wooden last for the client, tests the fit with a trial shoe and adjusts the last before making the final pair by hand. The website shows Oxfords, derbies and other designs for men, as well as examples of women’s shoes. The atelier also offers made-to-order styles, where customers choose from existing models and select details such as leather and sole type. Bespoke enquiries require an appointment. Marquess is most relevant to shoppers seeking a personal fitting process and classic shoes they intend to maintain and wear for years.

Spigola

Japan · Est. 2001 · Luxury

Spigola is a bespoke shoemaking brand established in Kobe, Japan, in 2001 by Koji Suzuki. Born in Kobe, Suzuki travelled to Italy in 1997 and trained in Florence under shoemaker Roberto Ugolini. After three years of study, he returned home and began making bespoke shoes from space in his father’s workshop in Kobe’s Nagata district. Bespoke footwear remains central to Spigola. Its website also presents a prêt-à-porter collection described as pattern-order footwear, and Suzuki’s official biography dates the launch of that line to 2011. The distinction matters for shoppers: commissioning a bespoke pair and ordering from an established pattern are different ways to access the maker’s designs. Spigola’s atelier is in Hosoda-cho, Kobe, with weekend visits requiring a reservation. The brand’s identity brings together Suzuki’s Italian shoemaking training and his work in a Japanese footwear-producing city. Anyone considering an order should contact the atelier about the available styles, fitting process and appointment arrangements before travelling.

Hiro Yanagimachi

Japan · Est. 1999 · Luxury

Hiro Yanagimachi is a bespoke shoemaking workshop in Tokyo, founded in 1999 by Hiroyuki Yanagimachi. After studying industrial design, Yanagimachi went to England to learn shoemaking at London Cordwainers College and gain experience with bespoke techniques. He began his own brand on returning to Japan and later developed a workshop team. Customers can choose among made-to-order, made-to-measure and bespoke shoes. The distinction is how the last—the form used to build the shoe—is prepared. Made-to-order uses one of the workshop’s established lasts; made-to-measure adjusts a base last; bespoke starts with a last made for the individual customer and includes trial fittings. The workshop offers lace-up shoes, loafers and other styles, with design choices depending on the order method. Visits to its Sendagaya workshop are by appointment. Customers can discuss fit with the people making their shoes, and the brand says enquiries and appointments can be handled in English. That makes its ordering process particularly relevant to international shoppers considering Japanese bespoke footwear.

Yohei Fukuda

Japan · Est. 2008 · Luxury

Yohei Fukuda is a Tokyo shoemaker founded in 2008 by its namesake. Fukuda learned shoemaking in England, including training in Northamptonshire and work with London firms, before returning to Japan to establish his workshop. He oversees the design, last making and shoemaking alongside a small team of craftspeople. The business offers several ways to buy its classic men’s shoes: ready-to-wear, made-to-order, house-style bespoke and fully bespoke. Its ready-to-wear shoes draw on the workshop’s bespoke methods and are hand lasted and hand welted. Fit remains central to the offer; the online store lists several width options and provides a size guide, while made-to-order enquiries and appointments can be arranged through the Tokyo store. Fukuda is especially relevant to someone comparing Japanese bespoke shoemakers with British-influenced dress-shoe styling. The different order routes matter: a customer choosing an existing size is buying a different fitting experience from someone commissioning a pair around a personalised last. The official sites explain those options before an appointment or purchase.

Alyssa Lee Designs

USA · Est. 2019 · Mid-range

Alyssa Lee Designs is a maker-led accessories business based in Minnesota. Alyssa traces its beginnings to a boutique project started in 2019, which grew from her interests in leatherwork, fashion and horses. She now specialises in handmade leather goods and equestrian-inspired pieces, with customisation playing a large part in the range. Handbags are a prominent category, alongside accessories, jewellery and custom shoes. Alyssa often combines leather or cowhide with patterned Pendleton wool fabric. Her shoes can be ordered with wool, leather detailing, buckstitching or the brand’s decorative “confetti” finish. The custom-shoe listing explains how buyers can send their preferred colours and design details after ordering. The official website offers finished pieces as well as custom-order options, and Alyssa has advertised a showroom available by appointment. Shoppers drawn to this brand are likely looking for a particular material combination or a personal design. For an FTL footwear page, it should be described as a leather-goods maker that also offers custom shoes, rather than a shoe-only label.

Audley Shoes

Spain · Est. 1988 · Mid-range

Audley Shoes is a women’s footwear brand established in 1988, drawing on a Spanish family manufacturing tradition that began in the 1940s. Historical accounts connect the brand’s creation with British designers Tim and Fiona Slack and the Spanish Gil-Vera family. That shared history helps explain Audley’s combination of distinctive design and Spanish shoemaking. Audley makes its shoes in Spain. Its current range includes leather sandals, heels, flats, sneakers and ankle boots, with different heel heights for everyday wear and dressier occasions. The brand describes its design philosophy in terms of form serving function: an unusual shape or colour still needs to work as a shoe someone can wear. Shoppers can buy through Audley’s official online store, which provides product details and customer advice on fit. The brand says its team can help with size questions by email or WhatsApp. Audley is a useful name for someone seeking women’s shoes with a more individual silhouette while keeping materials, construction and wearability in view.

Mint & Rose

Spain · Est. 2012 · Affordable

mint&rose is a Spanish women’s footwear and accessories brand founded by Monti Gutiérrez Benavides. The project began in 2012, initially developing espadrilles for a market where Monti saw few options beyond traditional designs.

The company says its current shoe and bag collections are designed and manufactured in Spain. It describes espadrille production in Murcia and shoe production in Elda, drawing on the distinct footwear skills of those regions. Customers can shop the official website for flat and wedge espadrilles, sandals and styles for other seasons. The brand is particularly relevant to someone looking for a Spanish-made espadrille within a broader, coordinated wardrobe of shoes and bags. Individual product pages give the clearest view of each item’s materials, heel height and available sizes.
