Busy, busy shoe shop catering for adults and children. It's one of a plethora of shoe shops within the MetroCentre but as far as I know it's one of two that offers children's fitting service. For that you get a ticket from a machine on the wall and wait your turn for an attendant. At busy periods you can wait 20 minutes or more. The staff turnover seems to be high as you rarely seem the same person more than twice but they are friendly and uncondescending to children. The fitting service is fine though I always seem to find they only have one or two choices in my children's size, possibly my children have odd feet. They do always try to sell you special shoe polish/protecter which annoys me but that's a store wide policy not a problem with this particular branch.
Good range of adult shoes that are comfortable and mostly hard wearing. They seem to have branched out a bit lately and started to stock 'fashion' shoes rather than just traditional 'sensible' shoes. This isn't a cheap shoe shop though there are often good bargains to be had when there's a sale on. Beware, it's frenzied at sale time! read more
