Our Sheila shoes recreate a wartime pair stamped "CC41" from the British Utility Clothing Scheme.

We call them Sheila's, an ode to my Granny, who lived during the 2nd World War, and was a very practical, no-nonsense lady and so are these shoes.

They suit looks from 1940s rockabilly to 1970s or 1990s everyday style.

The real crepe sole makes them extremely comfortable, and the low 2.5 cm stacked leather heel keeps them elegant.

These shoes are true to size. Just choose your usual size.

Handmade by skilled Portuguese artisans, each pair is slightly unique. Sturdy and comfortable: they are built to last, just like the originals.

A timeless design easily styled with a modern outfit, they add a twist of Vintage.

• Handmade in Portugal by skilled artisans, paid fair wages.

• Full gain leather with a vintage finish. Thick yet supple, will age beautifully.

• Fully lined in leather

• Constructed with the Goodyear welt method with stitched real crepe soles (with a low stacked leather heel at 2.5cm)

• Repairable and built to last: Goodyear welt soles can be endlessly replaced!

If you are not satisfied with your purchase or the shoes are not quite the right fit, you can return your items to us within 30 days of receiving them. Read more about our returns policy here.

Stock and Made to order items can be returned and are fully refundable. Bespoke and customised orders cannot be returned.

When in between sizes, always go for the bigger of the two sizes.

Your feet are…

🦶🏾SLIM: If you have a narrow and petite foot, then our regular last in your usual size is for you.

If you are still unsure, you can send us your foot measurements, and tell us more about the sizes you usually wear so we can advise you.

🦶🏾 REGULAR: If you have regular to wide feet, always bear in mind that these are vintage reproductions, and can be snug, so a wide could be more comfortable. If you have regular feet but plan to wear these with thicker socks or like to have a bit more room then choose the wide fit.

🦶🏾 WIDE: If you have wide or sensitive feet we recommend to choose the wide fit. 

🦶🏾 Extra WIDE: If you have much wider feet, or intend to use any orthotic insoles, we recommend to go up and choose the wide fit.

The best thing to do is to draw an outline of your foot, and then draw a rectangular box around it. If you then give us the measurements of the width and length of your foot we can advise you best that way! See the “step by step” image below.

*******Don’t hesitate to message us for sizing advice.*********

Most of our styles are available to have made just for you in the same style as on the listing, if your size is out of stock. A made to order item is fully returable and refundable.

They cost the same as a stock item, the only difference is the waiting time, as they must be manufactured.

This takes about 4-8 weeks.

If you would like to order the same style but would like some alterations made in colour or design, then a Custom order is the way to go! They are personalised which means they take a little longer to manufacture at 8-10 weeks.

Because they are bespoke they are non refundable. In the rare case that they do not fit or meet your expectations we will remake them. We offer a full customer support to make sure all the details of your order are clear and that the boots fit you.
