Great service as usual. The lady who we normally see was fantastic as always. We've been coming here for good shoes since we found out of son has hypo elastic joints and needs solid, tailored support. It's doesn't cost much more than Clarks, but the shoes are far superior, just like the service. We drive an hour each, they are that good!

I took my 13 year old and 8 year old daughter. To this shop first time for school shoes. And would be coming back here. Thanks for fitting my daughters school shoes. My oldest had plain leather while my youngest daughter preferred patent. They fit well and will rather be coming here every year. They last them longer too
