Ruth Emily Davey

Barefoot brand from United Kingdom, founded 2008.

Ruth Emily Davey, also known as RED Shoes, is a small workshop in Machynlleth, Wales, making handmade, foot-shaped shoes, boots and shandals to order for men, women and children. I like that they use full grain Italian leather, offer three width fittings, and can make pairs zero drop on request. They are also built to be repaired and resoled.

Specialities: handmade, bespoke, leather, boots, sandals

How Ruth Emily Davey fits

multiple width

Everything is made to measure, so I'd order bespoke or ask for a fitting pair rather than guess. For Shandals, pick a size almost exact to your foot length, so 244mm is a size 5. For shoes and boots, add about 8 to 10mm to your length.
