One glance at their confused window displays reinforces that Moda In Pelle fall firmly into the latter camp. There's no attempt to woo new customers with eye-catching graphics or cool displays, just simple rows of heels and sparkly shoes on the bottom row, ankle boots on the middle row and knee high leather, suede and jewelled boots on the top two rows. This might work if only some of the shoes and boots in the window weren't so damn ugly! Inside the shop is just as bad with radically different styles rubbing soles next to each other. I actually spotted a fabulous pair of white boots with tasteful silver studs but I wasn't going to shell out £120 on them when they were next to boots I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy! To quote teachers across the world: Must Try Harder!

You'll notice a lot of my reviews are focussing on sales at the moment... well, tis the season, and…read moreon (at the time of typing) this, the Monday that is supposed to be the most depressing Monday of the year (first bills after the festive period and what-not), what better to bring cheer to yourself (girls) or any female you know than a nice pair of footpieces. Yes, there is nothing that quite lifts the spirit like a new pair of shoes, and I have to say, Moda in Pelle has one of the best sales I've seen in a long time. A shy and retiring little boutique amongst the smaller Market Street shops, this branch just off St Ann's Square is a right little gem. And as for those reductions, well, you can't argue with a stunning pair of bright red wedge sandals reduced from £80 to £25. Yes, your eyes aren't deceiving you, and it'd be rude not to grab them - after all, thinking of that summer holiday is probably keeping you going right now... I've always found the staff in Moda in Pelle very friendly and helpful, and they give you space to browse. There's a great range of shoes on offer too, from the aforementioned wedges (and plenty of them... I love my summer wedges, so this is a must for me) to Ugg-esque Edhas and Dais and biker boots, fancy courts and pretty pumps to a lovely variety of handbags. To me it feels like a nice little halfway point between the ostentatious self-worth of Kurt Geiger and the cheerful high street demeanour of Office and Faith. If you're after a little treat in the sale, don't miss this one out.

If I…read morecould I would have my own walk in wardrobe for my shoes, like in the sex and the city movie. Sadly I do not own a Mr Big. Anyway back to reality and this little shop I discovered. And what a shop, and a lot of shoes. They have a massive collection of different designers and ranging from wellies to high heels. I loved it in here and tried on around 60 pairs like you do! Independant shoe shops are hard to find today as high street stores tend to make their money from them so I was thrilled when I found this place. Now I am going to go and rethink about my obsession with shoes and basically shopping.....

The joy of the foot-measuring machine was that slight nervous anticipation when you thought it could potentially squash your foot but it stops just short. Parents trusted Clarks because they seemed very focussed on ensuring their children's feet weren't going to be uncomfortable or deformed due to shoes. They wouldn't sell you anything just for the sake of making a sale, they want to sell you the RIGHT shoes. And the left ones too for that matter. Hehe. So you'll never get a pair of foot-massacring party heels at Clarks, so what? That ain't the Clarks way. It's cosy and comfy feet in their book, and anything with a heel has a heck of a lot of cushioning, and that heel sure as hell won't be a stiletto. It'll be something chunky, like in the 60s. Clarks very handily categorises its shoes via function, such as workwear, smart, casual, college and so on. You know you're getting quality, with their soft leather, well-fitting footwear. And they even do half sizes as standard. Do you know how many shops just refuse to acknowledge that half sizes exist? Tons. It might be sensible, but Clarks doesn't have to be boring. They've always catered to their audience while maintaining a subtle plateau of innovation, and that's what we love about them. When I worked at Barratt's I used to gaze longingly at the Clarks a few shops down. There's a shoe shop where people care about feet, I thought, explaining for the fiftieth time that day to a customer that we didn't do half sizes. Clarks has proved itself recession-proof, and it might just be time-proof too.

This is Manchester's Clarks store, yes they is some in smaller towns like Bury and Oldham however…read morethis one is in the city centre, and is much better than my local one, which is quite small and located opposite Heaton Park in the Sainsbury's They have a private section for kids upstairs, which gives you that little bit more of peace when looking for shoes. Both sections are a decent size Most Clarks' shoes are stocked here however they is a selection avaliable on the website to order in. The staff seemed quite nice and helpful. Unfortunatly I had to leave with no shoes and none being right for me due to feet problems and they was nothing on the website. This is a nice store and I prefer the in store experiance rather than online especially for shoes and it looks like I am going to have to kiss Clarks' goodbye. 3 stars for the good size of the store and staff, I can't give more due to the price of some shoes and they could definitley be more selection, in colours for example other than laces shoes, which I don't like.

It sells a vast array of beautifully decorated shoes, saris and the like. Even though the website has a catalogue of only shoes and accessories, in the shop itself most of the space is taken up by clothes. Chaal is actually a manufacturing company as well as a shop so they are selling their own products. Its been around for about 20 years. Expect to pay around £25- £50 for a pair of shoes, be if for men or women, and accessories (mainly bags) for around £15. They also do bridal items and a kids selection.

Chaal matched the requirements perfectly well and she came out with a turquoise blue stiletto with sequenced lace all around. It was gorgeous for someone who likes a little bit of shine and colour! They have a vast collection of shoes, more like bridal themes and they also so accessories which are quite intricate in their design. It is very different from any of the City Centre stores and it is unique in its kind. If there is something traditional coming up or you are looking for something very new but detailed, this place would be precise for you!

At £295 they're way over my budget but if I was loaded I'd be tempted to buy a grey AND cherry red pair. The leather feels good quality and unlike other shoe companies, they feel comfy instantly. You would think selling lovely shoes to people with too much money would be a breeze of a job. Unfortunately, the staff in this branch can be a little cold and snooty. The decor is also a little old fashioned, bringing to mind old department stores with doormen in dicky bow ties. Still, those boots....!

The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, and all have the essential ability to get on with kids and get them to co-operate in the shoe-fitting process, something that I would guarantee requires saint-like patience! The last time I took my child there, they managed to kick the assistant in the head (accidentally, I might add!), and this still didn't detract from the quality of service and the willingness of the assistant to help. They even offered us the opportunity to take some shoes on 'sale or return', something which we gladly took them up on (as long as the shoes weren't worn outside) and in this case it actually resulted in us returning the shoes for a full refund. I would heartily recommend Meeks and its happy group of staff for the quality of their service and the quality of their goods. Top marks!
