What to know about Sophia Webster
Sophia Webster is a London footwear and accessories label founded in 2012 by its namesake designer, a Cordwainers and Royal College of Art graduate who previously worked under Nicholas Kirkwood. It designs colour-saturated heels, sandals and flats built around recurring motifs — butterfly and angel wings, flamingos, hand-applied crystals and rainbow straps — alongside bridal, kids' and small leather goods lines. The independently held company, backed by growth investor BGF and based at Zetland House in Shoreditch, sells direct and through wholesale, and has partnered with LoveShackFancy, Patrick Cox and, in 2025, Waitrose on a low-price tote.
How Sophia Webster fits
Overall fit
true to size
Most wearers find Sophia Webster footwear runs true to size, though the ornate straps and pointed styles can feel narrow on wider feet.
Tip: Order your usual size; consider a half size up if you have wider feet or a high instep, as strappy styles can feel snug.
