“IT IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU DO IN YOUR UNIQUE SHOES. IT IS ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL WHEN YOU DO IT”


SIMON BOURNE  #THESHOEGUY
FOUNDER OF HAND DYED SHOE CO. AND MEN'S MENTAL HEALTH EXTRAORDINAIRE
The 21st century has brought with it a demand for speed. Most online sellers want to take your order and deliver tomorrow with as little interaction as possible.

Here at Hand Dyed Shoe Co. we are the opposite. This is a co-creative interactive experience where we want to deliver you a beautifully crafted pair of handmade shoes alongside a memorable and personalised customer journey.

From the moment you contact us, we will be there to guide you through the process from the fit, style advice, colours and all of the many customisation options. Once your design is confirmed, your crafting journey begins as we hand make your one-of-one shoes over the next six weeks, keeping you up to date with progress direct from our team of world class shoemakers.

This isn't a shoe shop. This is a lifetime experience that you'll enjoy so much that Hand Dyed Shoe Co. soon becomes your go-to Shoe Guy and we can't wait for your journey to begin.

OUR ARTISAN SHOEMAKING - HAND DYED TO A TONE

The beauty of our handmade shoes is the imperfection. You simply can't dye two cuts of natural calf skin leather shoes exactly the same - there will always be differences - and these differences are why you are here. Hand Dyed Shoe Co. is unique!

We make shoes with quality and finesse. Our Italian leathers are beautifully soft and purposely chosen so that they will quickly mould to the shape of your foot without a long protracted breaking in period. 

We're honest enough to tell you that without care, your shoes won't last forever. There are a few tips that you'll need to follow. However, this is no ordinary pair of shoes, after all, these are your shoes, and therefore we're sure you're ready to take the right steps.


BLAKE STITCH WELTED


All of our shoes are handmade with a Blake stitched welt, which offers flexibility, comfort and quality.


ARTISAN HAND DYED


Each piece of leather is individually coloured by hand, meaning we can guarantee uniqueness in every pair.


WORLD CLASS SHOEMAKERS


Our Portuguese and Italian workshops have been making artisan shoes since the early 19th century.


REPAIRS & RESTORATION


Ready for new heels? Simply send them back to us and we'll fix the up and have them looking like new again.

Size Guide

Work Out Your Size

To determine your size:


1. Use a ruler or tape measurer to measure your foot (from the heel to the tip of your longest toe).

2. Choose a table below

3. Find the closest measurement, in inches, that is equal to or greater than the length of your foot. For example, a man whose foot measures 11 1/4 (11.25) inches is a size 11.5.


MEASURING TIPS


• Make it easier by drawing around your feet with a pen placed at 90 degrees and flush against your skin.

• To ensure an accurate reading when measuring, flatten your foot by shifting your weight forward.

• If your measurement is between two sizes, always move up to the larger size.

For your width, you don't need to measure. Base your choice on what you normally buy on the high street. If you typically order a size 10, but you feel like you do this because of width, order a 'G Wide' fit.


If you're unsure, simply get in touch with us and we will post you a size guide out along with some complimentary tape measures to help you work it out more specifically.

Durham - The Seminary

The Shoe Guy

Mr. Simon Bourne


Simon Bourne, Founder of Hand Dyed Shoe Co. is, as you can see, a little bit different to 'norm' - whatever that is. 


Mr. Bourne's flair for colour, mixing pallets and experimenting with texture is well amongst the HDSCo brand legends.


Simon's favourite shoes are a pair of hand dyed blackberry Derby brogues - perfect for the dance floor, apparently!

Leeds - The Rooftops

The Shoe Guy

Mr. Mark Goward


What Mark doesn't know about shoes isn't worth knowing. With over 25 years in the industry, Mark is the ultimate Shoe Dog.


Mark's first pair of Hand Dyed Shoe Co. shoes were also his first pair of monkstraps! A divine oxblood and crimson combination, complete with a matching belt and stunning deep black, burnished patina.


Mr. Goward is all about the detail. You won't be short of options or inspiration in The Rooftops!
