"It's not about what you do in your unique shoes,
it's about how you feel when you do it"
Simon Bourne - Founder
My name is Simon Bourne. I am The Shoe Guy.
I believe you are your most successful when you are expressing yourself. A person who is confident in who they are lives a more content, fulfilling life. Confidence takes you places and I believe we create confidence by celebrating our unique quirks, leaving others wishing they had what you have. True confidence is authentic and it is honest.
Yes, we make shoes, but the reason we make shoes is to help individuals like you, feel a little bit more you. We want to encourage you to be yourself, whatever that might look like and however that may impact the world. And we do it by giving you the gift of quality combined with creativity. We make customised shoes for people that make a difference.
In a world where 78% of suicides are men, men who struggle to express their troubles, it is our mission to create a more accepting, unique world, starting with you.
"It's not what you do in your unique shoes. It's about how you feel when you do it.
