More Information

One of the oldest shoe manufacturing techniques is the turn slipper, some say dating back to the 14th century.

Made from 2 pieces of material stitched together and made inside out, before being ‘turned’  to disguise the closed line to the inside of the shoe.

Turn slippers have long been part of Norfolk shoemaking history, introduced to the county by the large group of ‘Strangers’ that settled here in the 16th Century, specialising in weaving and shoemaking.   

Please note any customised styles are not eligible for refund.  

ALL ABOUT THE 633
The 633 is a soft soled turn slipper. This technique dates back to the 14th century, making them one of the earliest styles for more refined footwear. The Monk style is ‘closed’ inside out, before being hand ‘turned’, designed to keep all the stitching on the inside, resulting in an invisible seam along the sole. The relaxed nature of the Monk style pairs best with soft Deerskin leather, available in a variety of colour ways. All our patterns are clicked by hand before embarking on their journey around the workshop being handmade into soft soled carpet slippers.
