Meet Your Shoemaker

The Hands, Experience and Personality Behind Oscar William

At Oscar William Shoemakers, we believe a pair of shoes becomes more meaningful when you know the person behind the craft.

Shoemaking is not simply about leather, thread and soles. It is about experience, judgement, patience and understanding how a shoe should look, feel and perform for the person wearing it.

That is why we would like to introduce you to Mr Huseyin Sapci, Shoemaker and the craftsman behind Oscar William Shoemakers.

A Life Around Shoes

For Mr Huseyin, shoemaking is more than a profession. It is a craft developed through years of working directly with footwear, customers, materials and traditional construction methods.

Every customer is different. Feet are different. Personal style is different. The purpose of the shoe is different.

A shoemaker needs to understand all of these things before recommending the right shape, construction, leather or fit.

This personal approach remains at the heart of Oscar William today.

Made by People, Not Just Machines

Modern footwear can often feel anonymous. At Oscar William, we want our customers to experience something more personal.

When you discuss a Made-to-Order or Bespoke pair, you are speaking with people who understand the construction of shoes and who work with footwear every day.

From selecting the style and leather to choosing the sole, colour and finishing details, our aim is to guide you through the process rather than simply sell you a product.

Traditional Craftsmanship, Modern Style

We respect traditional shoemaking, but we also believe craftsmanship should continue to evolve.

Our collection includes classic Oxford shoes, Derbies, loafers, brogues and boots alongside more contemporary designs, distinctive patinas and personalised Made-to-Order options.

The objective is simple: combine proper shoemaking knowledge with footwear that suits the way our customers dress today.

Why Meet Your Shoemaker?

Buying handmade shoes should feel different from purchasing an ordinary pair from a shelf.

You should be able to ask questions.

You should understand the materials.

You should be able to discuss fit.

And most importantly, you should know who is standing behind the product.

For us, this connection between shoemaker and customer is one of the most important parts of traditional footwear.

Visit the Workshop

Customers are welcome to visit us at Oscar William Shoemakers, Great Portland Street Station, London, where you can see our shoes, discuss Made-to-Order and Bespoke options and meet the people behind the brand.
