Why we stock what we stock
Wherever they're made best
We don't mind where a shoe comes from, only how well it's made. Sometimes that's Northampton, which still makes some of the finest welted shoes in the world. Sometimes it's São João da Madeira, the town at the heart of Portuguese shoemaking, or Inca on Mallorca. We go wherever we find the best mix of style, comfort and value, and we'll tell you honestly what each maker is good at, and what it isn't.
Since 1976
New hands, same idea
Edward & James is the new name for Pediwear, which has sold good shoes for fifty years. In 2026 it changed hands and moved to a small base in Dartington, Devon. The new owner spent more than twenty years with an industry-leading brand in the formal sector, the last ten running it. He took on Pediwear to keep a trusted name going and to sell shoes the way they should be sold: honest advice, fair prices, proper service.
The same thinking runs through Tanner Bates Leather, our sister workshop in Devon, where oak-bark-tanned belts and leather bags are made by hand.

We'd rather charge a fair price every day than invent a sale every month.
