The Tailored Last Footwear Design Consultancy offers a freelance footwear design service to anyone who requires the services of a footwear designer and footwear developer. This footwear consultancy was created in 2000 by footwear designer scott wills after working in the industry for many years and looking for a way of creating a better life / work balance.

Every project is different and understanding your needs and project requirements is something I believe is imperative to creating the right product for you. I have acquired extensive knowledge of the footwear design & footwear development process thru years of working in the footwear industry with some of the best UK & International footwear brands and footwear factories.
I cover all aspects of the footwear design process from entry point to high end, casual, lifestyle, formal & safety product. From start up brands to international collections, I offer an end to end service.
My footwear design & development packages cover all aspects of the process from creative direction, trend research, packaging, logo design, last selection, prototyping and final sales samples. I approach research thru shop visits in the UK & Europe together with an extensive knowledge of trends and branded product.
I work on a freelance footwear design / project basis and offer a very competitive pricing structure. I can work in-house or via satellite location with your development team or chosen factory.
I have worked with Clients & factories in the UK, Europe, China, India, Vietnam, Taiwan, USA & Canada.

Having witnessed the Ocean Waste plight on a daily basis whilst walking his dogs along the jurrassic coast in Dorset, he is currently researching how Ocean Waste can be incorporated within the components of a shoe to re-purpose this plastic waste and give it a new life. He is also looking at ways to reduce the high toxic impact associated within footwear production.
