ooh La La...
Check out how great these boots came out from once being an old woren black pair of scuffed boots, which we also added some studs to add that further funky look. Love these!!! well deserved tea break now after all my hard work on these over the past two days :)
As Steven Morrissey once said...
Age shouldn't affect you. It's just like the size of your shoes - they don't determine how you live your life! You're either marvellous or you're boring, regardless of your age
Wide range of new colours to brighten up your feet :)
As summer is quickly approaching, we have just got a wide new range of bright funky colours for the perfect summer shoes :)
Check them out! :)
Below I have uploaded some pictures of some of our work that has been carried out over the weekend. this give you an insight view as to what we can really do with shoes for you.
How about two tone? I think they look great. when our customer came in to us this week, she wanted to dye a pair of heels purple. although her outfit was complete purple she wanted us to break up the colour so that it wouldnt be to much. Here is the finishing touch to the shoes that we have done for a customer this week. she has since informed us that the shoes worked perfectly with the outfit and that she had recieved many compliments on them together with her outfit.! Were happy if you are :)
Here were a dull pair of black sequin shoes, that was until we got our hands on them. As you can see from the picture we have uploaded to show you the finishing result, we have added two colour which work really well with eachother and look great on the black sequin shoes. They are noe trandformed to a funky pair of party heels. hope you enjoy them Annmarie :)
these were a plain boring pair of white heels which a customer took in to us to make them a bit more exciting for them. these shoes came out amazing. after having dying these shoes they are like a new pair and they will turn heads! they are unique and with the multiple different colours it will be great for the summer quickly approaching!
beautiful shoes that have just been dyed for one of our customers who had a an orange dress but could not find the right colour to match her dress for an important wedding. as you can see we have also added purple to add a bit of colour to the outfit which looks fabulous! i almost didnt want to hand these over :)

1980's Flashback...Bridal styles of the 80's
We were looking through some of our older magazine editorials the other day and it struck us at how different wedding styles are now than they were in the 80's.
When Peter Fox started doing shoes in 1982 it was the Reagan Era, Dynasty was a top TV show and women were power dressing. Excess was in and shoulders were large. This also applied to wedding styles, dresses had so many "over the top" details. Big shoulders, "Leg of mutton" sleeves, lots of lace and big wreath-like headpieces. Brides wore white stockings often in lace patterns and shoes were much heavier and heels were lower. The most famous bride of the decade, Princess Diana, epitomized this style with her huge ruffled dress and long train.
Here are a few pictures from our archives, the first three feature earlier Peter Fox Shoes, the rest are just fun to look at.
