Though footwear manufacturing in England has declined over the years, DB Shoes has bucked the trend with UK production increasing over the last couple of years to cope with increased demand. The majority of our shoes have been made at our Rushden factory, by experienced craftsmen with a sympathetic eye for detail. Look out for this symbol which shows that the style has been made in England.
The practice offers a measuring and ordering service and we have found the shoes really beneficial for people needing width and depth for problems such as bunions and hammer toes.

V (Variable) fitting can be adjusted in depth by the removal of an insole, to fit an E to an EEE foot. So, if you normally buy a regular sized shoe, but need more depth in the toe box, the V fitting will accommodate this.
The shoe will be similar to a wide fitting shoe that you would find at a High Street retailer, but with more depth.
EE fit shoes are wider in the tread area than most other shoes which give the space for your feet to spread naturally, providing total comfort.
The rounded shape of the shoe provides plenty of room for the toes, whilst the removable insole inserts allow for orthotics if you use them.
Many styles have lightweight flexible soles incorporating air bubble technology to ensure total underfoot comfort.
2V fitting is for a slightly wider foot and can be varied in depth from an EE fitting to a 4E fitting by removing an insole or the adjustment of straps to suit the needs of the wearer.
The shoes are either supplied with 2 removable insoles to create extra depth, "stretchy" upper material or adjustable fastenings on the upper which allows the top part of the shoe to adjust for each foot.
4E fit shoes have the same tread width as our EE fitting shoes, but with a deeper toe box.
For those who may suffer from mild swelling of the feet or have misshaped toes, then our 4E footwear has that extra depth to make things that little bit more comfortable.
The rounded shape of the extra wide shoe provides plenty of room for the toes, whilst benefit from removable sock inserts to allow for orthotics if necessary and lightweight flexible soles ensures total underfoot comfort.
