My name is Sarah Juniper, I've been making shoes for over twenty five years and was the first to make re-enactment shoes in this country.

Although trained as a designer I've learned a lot about feet and their owners over the years and am always interested to learn more about feet and shoe construction.

I've always been happy to accept orders from people who have what they describe as 'problem feet' (though in my view hardly anyone has normal or regular feet).

My areas of specialization are 1st - 4th Century Roman, very late Tudor (1580) through 17th C. including the English Civil War, 18th C. up to the early 19th C. - Empire and Napoleonic. These are periods of history where shoes were constructed with ‘heavier’ soles and the uppers took on a more shaped and tailored aspect.

The photos show examples of my work and are not set in stone. Please feel free to send drawings etc of footwear required. I can work from paintings or prints too.

I cater from the heaviest work shoe to the elaborate silk slipper and some of my work is still in use after twenty years. All my shoes are totally handsewn, not machine made with just the uppers closed by hand.

Please be aware (ladies in particular) that the fashions of a particular epoch may not always be the most appropriate wear for the human foot; for example the last style of the 18th Century lady is pointed in shape. Please recall the old saying “one must suffer for one’s art”. These may be made-to-measure shoes but straight lasted shoes may not suit you; may take a while to get used to or break in; or if you are a celtic foot shape, i.e. square, may be quite uncomfortable. I can’t change your foot shape but if comfort rather than style is your preference then I can (if you inform me) use a less fashionable shaped last, say from a different epoch, to ease the problem.

Please feel free to telephone or write to me for further information, photos, sample leathers, advice or details of my courses. I am always happy to discuss any ideas or ordering problems. However, orders must be sent to me or by post, on my standard order form. Using the order form ensures that I have all the necessary information to complete your order and avoids confusion. My memory is not so good as to cope with “as discussed” so please write down just what you want.

I am now, cautiously, beginning to use my own computer and may be reached by email. However, I have not advanced to having a printer so please send orders by post. Also please read the information on the Order Form and Price List - links at the bottom of this page - as that should answer most, if not all, of your questions.
