'''The Shoe People''' is a series of books created by James Driscoll that were shortly adapted into an animated series in the UK.

In a shoe repair shop, a shoe mender tries to repair all the shoes he gets, but sometimes he cannot repair them all. He does not throw away these shoes; he puts them in the back room of the shop.

These join the other shoes and boots he could not bear to throw away and the ones where their owners never came back for them. This room has a secret. Every night when the shoe mender locks up the shop, he makes sure the back room door is shut. This door does not shut very easily and when he slams it shut, the strangest thing happens. A large cloud of dust from the room fills the air and when it settles, the shoes come to life and the back wall disappears and Shoe Town appears, where all the shoes and boots live.

The original series ran in 1987 for one series of 26 episodes. A follow up series ''The New Adventures of the Shoe People, was aired in 1992.

!!''The Shoe People'' contains examples of:

* AnimatedAdaptation: The original series adapted some of the books.
* AnimationBump: ''New Adventures'' largely dumps the animated storybook format and uses fuller animation with lip sync. It also has a livelier intro sequence.
* DrillSergeantNasty: Sergeant Major is a likeable sort, but has all the traits; authoritarian personality, short temper, NoIndoorVoice, perfectionist about everything. Predictably he's an army boot.
* LarynxDissonance: Phillip Whitchurch voiced every character, male or female, in the original series. ''New Adventures'' had Jo Wyatt take over the female characters. The US dub of the first series also splits duties between a male and female actress.
* NonIronicClown: Charlie is very mischievous, but still a good natured and genuine clown (shoe).
* ThePigpen: Trampy, being a patchy, dishevelled shoe, lives up to his name. He has a home and garden, but it's a tip, much to his neighbour, Sergeant Major's chagrin.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Sergeant Major with nearly everyone, but especially Charlie and Wellington.
