What Happened To All The Shoe Shops ?


Recommended Posts

Now that I think about it, I haven't been in a shoe shop for decades.   They must still exist but I don't remember noticing one  for years.   Do the assistants still bring you a few boxes to try ?     I remember  Dolcis ,  Timpsons  and  Langtons at Hillsborough.     Twenty nine and eleven was the average price for ladies' shoes,   nine and eleven for a pair of plimsolls.     One pair of shoes had to do for everything , so your dad would mend them or you had to put a piece of cardboard in them.            No trainers then,  in fact I've never owned a pair.

There are loads of shoe shops around 🤔

Wynsors, Skechers, Clarks, Pavers, Shoezone... then there's the shoe sections in shops such as JD Sports or Sports Direct.
You can still ask for different sizes to try on too 🤷‍♂️

Deichmann on The Moor too, although my last two pairs from there haven't lasted long so I don't go there anymore.

I'm a Skechers fan personally, the memory foam comfort has spoiled me for other shoes now 😂

 

Although recently I've had issues trying to find suitable ones in my size, so I may have to seek out alternatives next time my trainers fall apart.

Dolcis and Ravel on Fargate, and Saxone on High Street.  All your 80s white stiletto and slingback needs catered for. 

 

And Rebina in the Castle Market for the pointy buckled flats.
