Since circa 1985, Amathus Shoes Ltd has been making footwear for Vivienne Westwood. Amathus Shoes Ltd is an artisan shoemaker, crafting boots and shoes entirely by hand in England, upholding traditional techniques while supporting bold, creative design. An example of this artisanal handiwork is the iconic Rocking Horse shoe, sold through our World’s End shop.
Pieces of leather are cut by hand, then machine-stitched and hand-lasted to shape the final form. The result is a unique, high-quality product hand-made with artisanal skills. This collaboration is a tribute to British shoemaking heritage, combining precision, personality, and purpose.
