The Shoemaker - What It Takes To Be The First Female Shoemaker In England's Oldest Shoe Factory

She is the youngest bespoke shoemaker in the history of Britain's oldest traditional manufacturer - and the first woman, too: Adele Williamson.
She cut her own path and trained with England's oldest shoe manufacturer, Trickers. She has since made quite a name for herself - amongst other things as a shoemaker to the Royal Family.
What excites her about her profession? How did she choose it, and what does she most love about it? We visited the 32-year-old in her Northampton workshop.

Great report. A pair of well made high end custom shoes sounds lovely. A logical stop after ordering your Savile Row suits. 😄

Thank you Glad you enjoyed it. Let's hope we can all afford high-end shoes and a Savile Row suit some day.

Kudos to Adele Williamson for being a pioneer. I do find it odd that women buy more footwear than men do, but haven't made much headway into the craft of shoemaking. In most other industries, where women disproportionately make up the consumer base, you find many women who are involved in the production of the product. I wonder why shoemaking is the exception to this rule?
