The Last Shoemaker

I an really happy that I found Allan! My son has problem feet.. it is really difficult to find him shoes that fit. Luckily I found Allan trough internet recommendations and they were absolutelly correct! He is strong professional! He even send us pictures of son’s shoemaking process which was really nice for us!Now son can walk comfy and is really happy with he’s shoes!! Need to do New order soon!! Allso husband wants to have New fancy shoes by Allan!!So really 5⭐️ for Allan ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!

I really like shoes with a wide toe box and no heels. They are hard to find, especially if you would like to be able to have them resoled as most are made with glued on soles. These guys are making shoes which I can wear to the office, or in formal situations which I don't get from my minimalist trainers. They do a semi-bespoke range as well as full bespoke if you can afford that. Really good customer service so definitely recommend.

These shoes look **STUNNING**, feel incredible and are truly zero-drop with a wide toe box. Gone are the days of your feet suffering in foot cages. Worth every last penny. Thanks, Allan!

Mr Payson's work was simply superb. I'm extremely satisfied with the quality of his work and would recommend him highly and unequivocally to anyone looking for outstanding, well crafted bespoke shoes.

I can't recommend these guys enough. I honestly never realised what a difference a properly fitted shoe can make to your daily life. Beautiful quality and they look like they will last for ever if I look after them properly. I will certainly be coming back for other shoes.

I’ve been looking for high quality zero-drop dress shoes with wide toe-box for a while. I came across The Last Shoemaker and decided to try them out. I have to say, their quality and craftsmanship are outstanding! The shoes are truly beautiful – hand-stitched invisible channel (with good stich density) combined with a neat heel base makes an elegant silhouette despite having a wider than normal toe-box. The burnished brown color adds a touch of character to the shoes (as seen in the photos). I highly recommend them, and I’ll be ordering more from them!

I’ve been a repeat customer of the Don for many years. This company is the real deal.First, the shoes are high-quality, **handmade** work. And if you spend any time on his site, you’ll discover that the prices are extremely reasonable. I personally think they’re too cheap.Second, if you’re looking for an elevator shoe, Don’s are the gold standard. Other sites will sell you generic shoes that fit poorly, are uncomfortable to walk in, and are clearly elevator shoes by the look of them. Dons, by contrast, are custom-fitted to your foot, super comfortable (I’ve taken 2-hour walks in them), and very discrete in terms of appearance.Give these a try. Seriously.

I am not an experienced online shopper for footwear. After multiple visits to the Don's footwear site I decided to take the leap. The updates, responsiveness and communication instantly validated my purchase decision. Every promise / commitment that was made was met or exceeded.I received two expertly crafted hand made pairs of shoes. Both fit and feel amazing. I am frequently complimented on them as they are unique and clearly are not a mass produced style that most professionals wear.The value proposition is extraordinary. Why not have bespoke if you can get it at retail pricing?

Customer service was second to none. I'm a keen proponent of the zero drop shoes I use for CrossFit and my early morning run, and was I looking for an Oxford style shoe with a similar feel for office and casual wear. From first consulation to delivery, Payson went the extra mile. It's a nice bonus that the repairable construction means these will live up to my active lifestyle.

Allan Donnelly's wide fitting bespoke shoes and boots are truly a masterpiece of design , materials and workmanship. He may be the last true shoemaker and the greatest. Each pair is built like a fortress and appears from the outside as a palace. That is what I said to him when I first received them, and that is how I feel today after having worn them over the long term. I have one pair of his shoes and one pair of his boots. Both were brilliantly crafted, and I wear one or the other every day.
