I am actually surprised i didnt find a single review for this place. Wynsors world of shoes without…read moreany guesses sells shoes and sometimes a few accessories which may not be shoe related. Well, I went there along with a friend and quite liked the fact that they had everything well stacked up. They have a wide range from the budget ones to the branded ones. Everything is stacked according to sizes so unlike other stores that want you to roam the full store and keep wasting your time hoping to find something that you like, Wynsors keeps it simple. If you know yourshoe size, you just walk over to the shelves that say your size and you will have all the varieties stacked up in a single place which in addition to their friendly customer service earns them the extra star. The budget range are moderate quality and a good for someone on a strict budget imho. Their branded ones are good as well. make sure you browse their website before you go as they may not always have everything in stock but if you ask, they will happily order one for you in store and call you when the order is ready.

The shops have been descirbed as a little scary and creepy but really, there is a lot of clever articstic arrangement behind the goods. Quality leather shoes are sold here and you can expect to pay around £135 for some styles. If you are a fan of Schuh's Irregular Choice range then you will most definitely love Jeffery West. They also have an excellent range of mens accessories such as cufflinks. You will find some pretty unusual gifts here for christmas or birthdays. I would imagine that the style conscious indie/gothic type of man would shop here. Don't be put off byt the creepy window displays, the staff won't bite.

Its more of an 'alternative' shoe shop, selling skate type shoes and other similar items. I like loads of the shoes in here, and have bought some on many occasions, they seem to stock different shoes than elsewhere, which is good as I like shops who look for something different to interest customers. The guys who run the shop are really friendly and as its a small shop, they don't have much trouble seeing to everyone quickly and efficiently. The prices are kind of on the high side, but i'm not one to complain about paying for quality.

Man, visiting Clarks is like something of a transportation back into childhood for me. And I was…read moreborn in the eighties, so that's a bit terrifying. *Sings Calvin Harris in her head* I remember that my Mum would not let me or my sister wear anything other than plain, leather, practical shoes from Clarks. It was a mixed experience really, as I used to love getting my foot measured on the cold tickly metal slider-meh-bobby, but I hated the resulting footwear. I decided to nip in to Clarks to see if anything had changed in all those years. (Not *that* many years, really. Ok. Maybe fifteen. Arg.) Well. Not a great deal has, in my honest opinion. The quality still appears to be the same, they always sold well made and durable shoes, there's no doubting that. And I guess, really, what we ought to look for in a shoe is just that. Not this fickle fashion business. But Clarks is longing for a bit of a style overhaul. There were some really nice boots on sale out front, but most (not all) of the shoes still had that dowdy taint which made them less attractive to me. I feel terrible about it, really. It's a total conflict, since aesthetically I have been conditioned to love impractical and damaging footwear. And yet politically, I want to love Clarks for offering a way out from bunions, varicose veins, bad arches and all the other awful ailments that I know high heels and such will deliver. Nonetheless, I can't give Clarks a bad review. They have steadfastly sold decent footwear, no matter the style, and may yet win me over so as I might be able to walk when I get older! I'll still wear those uber heels once in a while, like, but just not be a slave to them. That is the compromise! They sell a range of good leather, suede and other shoes, for a price that will be worth it in wear, for women, children and men across the board. And they're all right by me!

A wet and windy Easter bank holiday weekend. Been at the back of my mind for a while that I needed…read moreto get a new pair of shoes. Had previously tried buying on line, but had to return each pair bought because the fit wasn't right. Not been to Ilkley for a while and had gone there to suss out the M&S Food Hall given that my nearest M&S store (Keighley) closes in April. Might as well have a wander round while I'm here I thought. Clarks looked very welcoming in the rain, so I opened the door and went in ... and received one of the nicest greetings I've ever had walking through a shop door. Explained to the sales assistant (Helen) what I was looking for and she proceeded to show me several different pairs of shoes. Tried a few on and found a pair that were a very comfortable fit so bought them. Nothing out of the ordinary there you might think, but the welcome I was given combined with the care and attention to detail of the service received served to remind me why I prefer doing my shopping in the real world. Well done Clarks ... and well done Helen!

Everywhere you look in Jones Bootmaker, you can see leather. That's what they do, you see…read more Aside from stocking famous brands like Cat and Ted Baker, this serious shoe shop stocks a massive selection of leather shoes and boots. In fact, it's so much about the leather that they only carry four or five trainers for boys. Jones Bootmaker also has a great range of shoe care products behind the counter. If you want to tenderly care for your shoes then they have brushes, polishes and shoe horns. Who would ever want to buy a wooden thing shaped like a foot that you put in a shoe to help it keep its shape? Is this the kind of thing a boy will never understand?

Grand. And then an assistant would pull out all the cutesy styles in my size and my mother would send back the ones she deemed inappropriate for school, and I would try on the remaining ones, pick my favourite, and we would leave with two pairs, as I would invariably destroy the first pair before Christmas. I was that clumsy. I like to think I've refined myself a bit these days, but when it comes to properly shoes, I'm not talking fashion shoes to go out with the girlies, but tidy work shoes that require me to be on my feet or out representing at an event and such, and I need something that's firstly comfortable and with some semblence of style, I always resort back to Clarks'. Funny how stuff like that stays with you. My official tidy boots, the boots I live in for walking around when required to be in a suit are Clarks and they don't cause me an ounce of trouble. All leather and beautifully made, comfortable, practical, hardwearing, and not hideous. Clarks' still cater to children, and it still amuses me watching a child getting fitted for new term shoes, and the styles have got a bit more child friendly since then, but they've got a bit more fashion friendly all around. Men, Women and Children, they even do the odd handbag, and the shoecare that everyone tries to sell you but you never want to buy. Styles reflect the fashions, albeit a more practical foot friendly version. Still irks me that they never sell the Clarks' Originals range in any Clarks' store I've been in lately, but you can't have it all now can you.

Prices are higher than average but well worth it as the quality and expertise of the staff mean you'll buy a solid and reliable pair of shoes which will last you years. The shop is big and there is loads of choice for men, women and children. It is next door to Barratts so there are a lot of competing sales - which is great for us as the consumer! A great shop selling quality shoes.
