Jonathan Schofield qualified over 30 years ago with a Degree in Podiatric Medicine from Westminster University and a Diploma in Chiropody from the Northern College of Podiatry winning the Prize for Best Clinical Practice. He then completed a Master of Science Degree at the University of Salford entitled “The Development of Walking and the Effect of Different Footwear.” His studies continued in the USA with footwear design at Parsons School of Design in New York City where he also became a Certified Pedorthist, learning to handcraft orthopaedic footwear. Before turning thirty he was Director of a Silicon Valley Company advising two large international shoe brands. Recently he has worked with over 70 exclusive London Hotels and Private Members Clubs. Having set up FieldsFootwer.com, a children’s shoe company in USA, Jonathan has now developed FieldsFootwear.co.uk to help maintain the foot health of the “foot intensive” hospitality industry.

The right shoe will promote a natural and healthy stance and walking pattern (gait), helping to prevent knee, hip and joint problems later in life. Fields Footwear is here to help. 

Fields Footwear shoes are made from soft, high-quality materials,  leathers, metallics, and suedes.

We recommend you protect your leather and suede shoes before you wear them for the first time to extend the life of the shoes. Spray a non-toxic water repellent spray onto new shoes to protect them and make them easier to clean.

Leather

Simply wipe clean with a damp cotton cloth and allow to air dry. If a stain remains, you can also try baby wipes or mild soap and water.

With time colours may lose intensity and particular areas may appear faded due to knocks or scratches. This is normal! Polishing with a colorless leather cream will help prolong their life and may remove unwanted scuffs and scrapes.

Suede

If suede becomes wet, allow to air dry. Once dry, the suede can be brushed to release any dirt and to re-fluff the pile. For dry stains, rub a suede eraser back and forth over the discolored area until the mark disappears.

If the Shoe Fits…

When it comes to your feet working hard for you all day at work, proper fit is everything.

If shoes are too big, the foot slips forward and the toes and metatarsals (supporting bones of the foot) are crushed. If shoes are too small, the foot becomes deformed in order to force the shoe to fit.

In addition, our sizing means no more guesswork. We measure shoes in millimeters. Meanwhile, the rest of the shoe world works in an archaic system devised by Anglo Saxons in which shoe sizes were measured in barleycorn lengths (where one barleycorn equals 1/3 inch… the more you know!).

At Fields Footwear, we know you want a quick and easy way to size your  feet. Gone are the time-consuming visits to shoe stores, with poorly-educated store assistants and limited in-store stock. From the comfort of your home, or even on the move, you are always first in line.

 

Measuring Your Feet

Here are some hints before you get started:

• You should be barefoot (with toes uncurled)
• If you plan to wear socks with your shoes, then make sure you are wearing them when you measure
• Measure one foot at a time

So, how do you do it? 

1. Find a ruler, a pen, and a piece of paper
2. Place the paper on a hard flat surface against a wall.
3. Stand with your heel against the wall
4. Make a mark at the tip of your longest toe.
5. Record the actual measurement in millimeters
6. Take the largest measurement of both feet and add 5-10 mm for wiggle room
7. That’s your Perfect Size Number!
8. Take that number and compare it to the Fields Footwear Size Chart below. If your foot falls in between sizes, round up.
