Broughton Shoe Warehouse is one of my lucky finds! Since I got old (lol!) I still like stylish…read moreshoes but they need to be combined with comfort. Broughton Shoe Warehouse always has lots of nice designs that fit the bill! Their shoes are modern, well made, extremely comfortable (most with cushioned soles) and, best of all, they are very cheap! You can usually pick up a pair for around £20-£30 and they'll last you for ages! As it's located on a retail park it's handy for parking outside too, which is a bonus! As shoes are so cheap I sometimes buy the same pair in a few different colour ways! You can never have too much comfort!!! :0)

Matalan is located on a small retail park near Woolworths and Argos & opposite the Westfields…read moreCentre in Derby. It specialises in clothes for all the family and has an impressive homewares department. Membership is required to buy from Matalan which will set you back £1. I personally find their womens range is a bit limited, but their jeans are great quality and affordable. I've had one pair which have lasted me 4 years & still looked great. Homewares was a godsend to me when I moved to university as stuff was modern and cheap. I wouldn't recommend the shop if you don't like to rummage through stuff. To find good stuff you need time & its position in Derby means you have to walk a way to get to it.

The most annoying thing about Matalan at Bradshaw Way is the parking. Be aware you'll need change…read morebefore you get there as it is a pay and display (which is refunded if you spend in one of the outlets so remember to present your ticket at the check out). The car park is cramped and small. Once inside the shop it is large and relatively spacious but always noisy. The clothes ranges ebb and flow in quality. The jeans and branded jeans are good value but the general day to day way tends to be poorly cut and lower quality. The footwear range is often good for fashion shoes that you only plan on wearing for one season. The homewares section is more appealling and there are some good bargains to be ahead. once again it is largely dictated by fashion so it is a good place to shop if you are staging a house or just want a quick accent change to your decor. What lets Matalan down the most is the presentation. It is invariably messy with clothes on the floor and boxes and trolleys abandoned in the shopper's way. The changing rooms can also be a bit whiffy! For make do and mend items Matalan can be a good shop but it is not inspiring.

Barratt Shoes is located on the main high street in Derby. It specialises in footwear for all the…read morefamily. I'd say in terms of quality, it is on parr with Clarkes, however customer service lacks & staff are not as well trained as their rivals which may be a problem with parents who want to get their childrens feet measured. Despite this, I have bought several pairs of high quality shoes that have lasted a long while!

I like to look in this shop at all the shoes i cannot afford or those i would like to buy next…read more They always seem to have interesting, rarer shoes than other high street shops. All the products are always in their specific places at all times and so it is always very tidy. Seating is available in the middle so it is easy to try shoes on. This schuh store is in the westfield centre and so it is easily accessible. The staff are friendly and ahppy yet a litttle too keen to help you because they ask if you want help as soon as you walk through the door. The shop is very small and it can get very busy and croded during peak times. The shoes are not really that cheap but are usually worth it because they last a while.

Amazing haven for shoe lovers. huge single floor store with…read moreso many wonderful shoes on display. Friendly helpful staff and quite child friendly.

This shoes shop is quite out of what you would call the centre of derby (westfield etc.) and is…read morepretty small. It stocks mostly women's shoes although there is quite a few men's shoes. The staff seem quite personal and this shop felt quite intimate because it is so small and open. The prices of the shoes in here are generally quite expensive but the quality of the shoes are high because they are from good well known brands. Most of the shoes seem formal and so it would probably not appeal to the typical hipster. It is quite a nice little shop but i would say it is more for business people.

Shoe Zone is located in St.Peters Street in Derby and is renowned for selling cheap shoes at…read moreaffordable prices. It is a fairly small store, but with plenty to choose from. Personally, I'd only buy shoes from here if it was for a one off event as I don't feel the shoes are great quality. You get what you pay for. The staff seemed helpful enough when I saw some shoes I liked in there, but sadly they didn't have my size. I would definatly shop in there again, but like I said, I wouldn't buy say a pair of boots from there that need to last because I don't think they would be durable enough.

For somewhere so small, manages to cater for everything your could want in the goth, emo and punk categories. They have a huge selection of band t-shirts and the cheapest body jewellery in Derby (£2.50 a piece!). Also have hair dye, bags, belts, buckles other fashion accessories. They also carry living dead dolls, which are tricky to find nowadays! Very highly reccommended.

In that…read moretime, I have never, ever found such rude and bad mannered staff as I have at Viva Hate, Derby. We were in mid-afternoon and my son, 6, was looking at badges to buy. My partner bought him a Minecraft badge, and left the shop. As me and my son were getting ready to go, my son spotted some other Minecraft items, as six year old's do. I called him over, then looked at the counter assistant, who was looking supremely annoyed, and was grumbling to himself. I called my son over, and then looked once more towards the counter which is next to the door, and the assistant was literally scowling at us, and shaking his head. I said to him "what is the problem" Counter Assistant: "I want to go out, I have to go". (There was no way of us knowing this) I call my son, who came over... Me: "There's no need to be scowling at him, he's six years old!!!!!" C/A "It's not him" Me: "So I'm a problem now?, all I've done is bought an item and spent at most, 4 minutes in your shop, and you have the nerve to scowl at my six year old son" I was furious, and once my son was out of earshot, I gave the assistant a piece of my mind, not that he was in the least bit bothered. He shut the door and left the shop. I popped into the next door unit, which is also part of Viva Hate, and asked the counter assistant there what was the problem with the person next door. This counter assistant just scowled too!!! I have never, ever been to a shop that so clearly didn't want custom. It was like the sitcom Black Books, but nastier. Incidentally, we went straight from Viva Hate to a store next door, and they saw the look on my face and were totally, totally wonderful, and pretty much put me, my partner and son back on the track of having a lovely day out. Anyone heading derbywards, I IMPLORE you, do not go to Viva Hate, go to Asylum, find a Blue Banana, go to brum on a train. There is zero excuse for such rude behaviour from counter staff.
