Anello & Davide

When I was a choreographer all my stage shoes came from here and they were so so comfortable.
Anello & Davide is THE brand in dance, theatrical and bridal footwear, with a reputation for specialised, handcrafted shoes.
Only when you have had a pair of bespoke shoes made for you, will you appreciate the difference from regular shoes.
Add a history that includes stiletto heels for Marilyn Monroe, spats for Peter Ustinov, suede brogues for David Niven and of course Beatle Boots for the Beatles.
Anello & Davide was founded in 1922 as a dance and theatrical footwear company, who quickly built a deserved reputation for superb hand-​made shoes. A unique combination of Italian design flair and the English tradition
of quality craftsmanship, enabled the business to flourish.
Women of all ages, public figures, plus film and theatre’s favourite stars soon discovered them.
In the 1960s they designed and made a style of boot which became their most famous, for the most famous customers — the Fab Four. The ‘Beatle Boot’ created queues of ‘Mods’ outside the Drury Lane shop, and has been in popular demand ever since.
The theatrical expertise at the heart of Anello & Davide’s origins has thrived over the years, supplying bespoke dance shoes to the theatres of London in the 1920s, and going on
to out-​fit famous movie stars of the war time era.
Unforgettable cinema icons — such as Dorothy’s Ruby
Slippers form The Wizard of Oz — and to combine historical accuracy with dramatic wizardry in such memorable shows as Cats, Miss Saigon, 42^nd Street, Beauty and The
Beast and also Mama Mia. The world of film too in contemporary classics such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Henry V.
AS they say Drama, glamour and a touch of magic.
