I'd like to have shoes made, but can't seem to locate a shoemaker in Dublin, does anyone know of any?
 
Do you mean bespoke shoes? You're going to pay big for those. Not sure if you're male or female, but being male all I know is shoes for men, where bespoke shoes will cost you (starting) in the region of GB£1,000 from the likes of [broken link removed], [broken link removed] or [broken link removed]. I'm sure ladies shoes are even more expensive than that!

In answer to your question, I don't think there are any bespoke shoemakers left in Dublin, but as you can see from the links above the industry is thriving in London and Northampton.

Don't worry, there is a shoemaker in Naas if you are nearby, they make fantastic riding boots and if you go meet them and describe what shoes you need they should be able to help.
Very good also for orthopaedic footwear.

The link in the last post doesnt seem to work, try this one:

Very interesting site, wonder how pricey they are?
 
There is a guy in Castleknock Village who makes shoes (or at least he used to)
 
I actually wouldn't mind paying top dollar for a pair of shoes that will last years and fit me like a glove. That's the overall idea. I can never find the type shoe i want and when I do find one they're worn out quickly enough and you're back to square one.... I will look into Tutty's... Any idea of the name of the guy in Castleknock?

Really nice guy....no connections
 
If you're heading for Tutty's in Naas, go on 7 miles further to Peacocke's in Kilcullen. They used to make shoes for CJH himself, and are a small family run business where attention to detail is second to none. No connection other than exceptional shoes on my feet!

I don't believe it! CJH only went to Kilcullen for his shoes and went to Paris for his Charvets. Come on. He couldn't have been that mundane!
 
No Yorky I don't have any personal experience of their work.... I just did a google search. Found this review also
