AMY CHIEW

Founder and Managing Director

Amy Chiew, a renowned entrepreneur and consultant for image services and beauty products, founded the brand Nottingheels to remix style with comfort for women and men across business and industries who desire better, healthier and more fashionable footwear. The name “Nottingheels” was originated from the name of the popular movie, “Notting Hill”, starring Julia Roberts & Hugh Grant in 1999. The success of this British movie had inspired Amy to name her shoe brand. To meet growing demand for fashion forward, orthopedically correct and corrective shoes, Nottingheels developed fashionable footwear solutions suitable for women and men across retail and corporate professions to hospitality and travel industries alike. Whether one is standing, walking or working in company offices or on sales floors, in air cabins or at finer restaurants, they can now be in stylish comfort shoes.
