Who is Roy Wells?

Roy Wells Jr is the greatest handcrafted couture shoemaker/shoe designer the world has ever seen!!! I make the unimaginable the imaginable and up-coming designer, leader in future footwear…

What’s happened in your career that makes you feel this is the industry for you?

After seeing all designers and there brands that they brought to the fashion table of footwear for the consumer and decided a change must come. and I have the ability to change. After traveling to Las Vegas, New York, Atlanta during my internship with Shawn and Shane, I put myself in the position to be exposed to the business aspect of the shoe industry to understand what makes it work and what the shoe consumer wants in a pair of shoes and what the shoe consumer is looking for in a comfortable shoe whether it’s a heel or flat and wedge style that gets notice and leave people with a “WOW”!!! Working with several shoe companies in my past which allow me to understand the age groups as well demographics of the footwear industry. Those shoe companies played an important role also in the knowledge that I gained about the business .They encourage me to build my own brand in a very unique way for the first time in history. A brand that will speak for my customer to define their taste in style, I leave the plain market to the plain and respect it in its fullest fashion lane… I literally built my shoe line… From a long time of imagination to fruition no factory, and no machine. All mind and hand craftsmanship and ready to offer the designs in a factory version at a lower cost to the shoe consumer… After seeing the consumer who indulges in the shoe industry, I felt that I could fill a “Niche of High Fashion” that will bring about a breathtaking change to the shoe industry!!!!!

And in a factory version also my clients are left feeling the comfort, and confidence when they step in a pair of my handmade shoes on their feet. Every shoe that I design.

About Roy Wells:

Innovative, tenacious, and raw talent, these are just a few words that describe the passion I have for designing and handcrafting my very own unique footwear collections. At the age of 14, I began drawing thousands of unique, and innovative styles in 3D like style. Upon graduating from Metter High School, I decided to study fashion at Georgia Southern University School of Art and Fashion. Currently, I have a hand drawn footwear catalog with thousands of original designs. However, because my imagination is creative I have an unlimited visual catalog of the hottest footwear styles you will ever see. The year 2007 I developed the unique skill of handcrafting the designs within my catalogs. I possess the ability to handcraft any of my designs from paper to fruition. My handcrafted shoe collection includes over 200 hand crafted ready to wear shoes. Later, I was selected to complete an internship with Shawn N Shane in which my designs were chosen to be produced and sold in the Macy’s New York location. Also, I was a Brown Shoe Company participant where I developed four original shoe concepts, including a story board, and historical shoe comparison. I went on to develop a line of sport shoes for Black Dog of Massachusetts which was presented and produced under the Back Dog label by the designer Roy Wells Jr. I am a proud member of the WSA/ World Shoe Association which I attend twice a year in Las Vegas.

My gift is designing with a passion, and a keen eye for women’s, men’s, and children’s footwear fashion. Also, understanding the trends in the fashion world allows me to produce unique and innovative ways to enhance the shoe. My goal is to help anyone with a passion to design and cultivate the seed of the dream that resides inside of them. Without designers in the world there would be nothing for us to see. Everyone has a dream and it’s up to the dreamer to bring the dream to fruition!
