The Stubbs & Wootton Story

Founded in 1993 in Palm Beach, Stubbs & Wootton has evolved from a niche idea into a symbol of cool elegance and timeless style. Worn by presidents, royalty, musicians, and movie stars, the brand has redefined luxury footwear for a discerning, worldly clientele.

Inspired by the 18th Century

The name pays homage to 18th-century English painters George Stubbs and John Wootton, both celebrated for capturing scenes of gentlemanly sport, wildlife, and aristocratic leisure in the countryside—an influence that speaks directly to our enduring pursuit of elegance and the very origins of the smoking slipper.

Merging Two Worlds

Early designs, featuring motifs such as foxes, fly-fishing and palm trees, merged two distinct worlds: the rustic sophistication of the English countryside and the relaxed grandeur of Palm Beach. The look was unmistakable. The island embraced it. Stubbs & Wootton quickly became Palm Beach’s darling footwear brand.

Redefining the Velvet Slipper

From there, Stubbs & Wootton rose to prominence on a global stage as it set out to redefine the velvet slipper in the sphere of high fashion, becoming a favorite amongst some of the most influential people in the world.

Handcrafted, Bespoke Luxury

Each pair is handcrafted in limited quantities in Europe, using the finest velvets, linens, leathers, and needlepoints—brought to life through intricate embroideries that reflect individuality and a distinct point of view. Designed to be worn, lived in, and collected, these slippers are expressions of personal style and enduring craft. Our Bespoke Experience invites clients to design their own one-of-a-kind footwear, crafted with the care and precision that define Stubbs & Wootton.

A Versatile Emblem of Elegance

Today, with showrooms on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach and Madison Avenue in New York, Stubbs & Wootton stands at the heart of two of the world’s most storied shopping destinations. From black-tie galas to poolside afternoons, we remain a versatile emblem of bold elegance and effortless luxury.
