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.

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.

My favourites: A Thornton's, a gigantic Sainsbury's (with every kind of Gü pudding and a huge assortment of chips), several cupcake and cookie stands and a stand selling every conceivable mobile phone case and cover, even one for my Xperia Z! There are also two very large gift / card shops that will probably sell the most obscure card you just couldn't find anywhere else. Try not to go in a mixed gender group, since there's not much for the men to do other than sit around in the café in the middle of the ground floor while the women wander around aimlessly for several hours. Lots and lots of parking, clean facilities.

Expect, as you enter, to be barely greeted by a lack lustre sales zombie and confronted by a world of bland and naff. So many times I have been tempted by their promises of cheapdom and thought, foolishly, that I might at least find one diamond in the rough. To this day it has never happened. I can't even place what it is, the quality is definitely lacking but then even the market has stylish cheap items. It's mostly, I believe, down to the fact that every item is just ever-so-slightly unconvincing - it looks similar to a decent pair of high heels but somehow the style of the toe just makes it look ugly. It looks like a nice pair of boots, except they added those horrid tassles. It looks like a decent pair of pumps except the heel is mis-shapen. You get the idea. On top of that they seem to lack utterly in colour and variation too. Perhaps if they had a rainbow of different shades I might be conned into thinking there was some variety. But let's be brutal, that is not very likely. I'm sorry Shoe Zone - be it your bland poor quality shoes, disinterested staff, or lack of variety - I just ain't buyin' it.

I've always been a fan of the cool style and interesting brands that they stock. It's all men's clothing, but I'd definitely consider shopping for gifts here for blokes, since the range is great. (Hello Christmas gift-solving!) They always seem on trend, without trying too hard -- I prefer their gear to Urban Outfitters and the like. It's kind of sporty, but not in the way you'll actually do sports in the outfit. I liked winter coats in the window! They even stock Fjallraven -- a brand I'm sure I spotted in Iceland (even though Swedish) which I think always looks ace. Think proper Nordic-fur-rustic-woollen type hats, bags, and so on. Basically, it does exactly what it says on the tin -- The Hip Store is hip and if I was a dude I'd shop there.

Despite being quite a small shop, this Aldo manages to pack quite a lot in, with a wide range of…read moreshoes for both men and women, as well as hand bags and accessories. Aldo's prices are about average high street prices, or just above...their range appears to reflect this with most styles pretty standard for a high street shoe retailer but with a few standing out a as bit more fashion forward. For blokes , unless you're going for 'casual loafers' or 'sports shoes' you have to abide by the current apparently unbreakable fashion rule that is irritatingly long pointed toes. I must admit I'm getting a bit tired of this look. To me, most guys wearing a pair of these shoes just look overly-self-consciously trendy but it appears a man would have to try pretty hard to find a non-pointed toe on the high street...unless venturing into Clarks or Slaters. It has actually got to the point where a man wearing a more rounded toe will probably look like he's making some sort of fashion statement...cue rounded toes coming back 'in'. Yawn. But if you like your toes trendy and pointed there's plenty to choose from! So to sum up, Aldo's not breaking any boundaries, but probably serves the average shoe-shopper well.

My first experience of Aldo Shoes was wandering past and espying some rather fab looking biker…read morestyle boots that were a bit slender than actual biker boots with a bunch of fab buckles and shoe bling, being a sucker for footwear I wandered in and picked them up expecting their price tag to read £300 plus, colour me pleasantly surprised when they came up at £140. Further poking around, led me to see another buckle clad biker boot for just £90, a quick sniff test and, yes, it was leather. Why hadn't I taken the plunge before? It's always been a place I'd walked by and never felt compelled to explore. Is it because I've got an uncle Aldo and I was avoiding it through disassociation? I'm not sure. It could be down to the fact that every time I've wandered by the store is absolutely teeming with people, or that I prejudged it to be super expensive and beyond my budget. My sensible shoe/non sneaker budget is always less than my kickass sneaker budget. In addition to women's shoes they do a range of men's boots and shoes, although on first glance, your man in your life would have to be a bit on the metrosexual side, as styles are more on the exploratory fashion conscience side of things rather than practical Clarks' types. Some of the selections are hit and miss, and as a demographic it's hard to decide if they're targeting the older middle aged crowd, the fashion conscience students, or the teenagers with far too much money yet a healthy appetite for switchblade stilettos and thigh highs. Hmmm. The last time I went in sale season was still in bloom, and due to busy periods staff were a little fraught and run ragged from traipsing up and down stairs, one imagines. More comment on that when I go back for my boots, preferably at a quieter time.

I'd never heard of Dunnes before and so I didn't really know what to expect as I perambulated…read morethrough their large front doors. The first thing to catch my eye was the amazingly cheap bed linen on offer. They were selling some really quite duvet covers for next to nothing! I checked the feel of the fabric on the display cover and it was lovely and soft too so I was really quite impressed. On further investigation of the store I came to realise that Dunnes is something of a 'do-it-all' kind of shop - they had clothes, shoes, accessories, decorative items, house items and more on show in this really quite large shop. It's a little bit of a mix between Wilkos and Primark I guess, with the fashion and homeware items all rolled into one building. Whilst I was loving the cheap prices, I purchased myself a delightfully cheap sewing kit for £3 with a great deal inside, the quality is certainly not of the highest standard. For example, the safety pins inside bend very easily and the unpicker is pretty much good for nothing but accidentally stabbing myself. Unpick it does not. Jab me in the thumb as I try it most certainly does. As well as that the clothes on display, in spite of the temptingly cheap prices, were simply not nice enough to buy. Primark at least is bang on trend, even if their items will only last as long as their latest range - 3 months if you are lucky! I think I'd definitely browse again, certainly for some cheap bits when I move house, but it won't be the first place I think to come. The service I received was reasonably friendly but quite lack lustre. That being said, in a shop like this I'd rather not have someone going for the hard sell as they simply wouldn't get it. It's a fair old browse but not necessarily worth a special visit.

There's a particular clothing line they stock, Savida, which is pricier than the ordinary 'Dunnes' stuff, but is really good quality. They sell a lot of nice business dress and jackets. There's also a trendier, funkier line on offer, of which I own a few t-shirts and pairs of jeans, and I can't for the life of me remember what it's called - I'll have to check and update. The underwear is good enough quality and cheap too - got a few bras from here that have lasted and still look nice, and their homeware section is pretty much the same as Primark's but it's a bit more expensive. As it's next door to Morrison's, I find myself drawn in for a mooch about every time I do a big food shop, much to my detriment, as I always end up buying something Worth a trip.

The Merrion Centre in Leeds is the second largest shopping centre in the city. Although I much…read moreprefer the larger Trinity Leeds nearby, they still have a nice selection of brands here, and the location being right by the First Direct Arena is useful to hop in without much of a detour before a show. As of January 2024, it's the 41st largest shopping centre in the UK in terms of retail space at 74,100 meters squared in area. Parking is expensive, and it's shared with the arena nearby, rates start at £3.50 for one hour, but when you're parking in a city you always seem to get similar rates. The inside of the shopping centre looks ordinary pretty much like any mall which opened in the UK around the 60s/70s. It's easy enough to follow the layout, there is a large map which shows not only the shops inside the centre, but the rest of Merrion Way, including the outlets just outside including Pizza Express, Starbucks and the Co-Op, and then leading to the arena and Ibis Hotel. There is a large Morrisons supermarket located here and an Amazon Hub featuring two Amazon Lockers for deliveries/returns. There are many budget shops located here which you might not find elsewhere in the city centre including Iceland, Heron Foods and Home Bargains and one or two charity shops. 3* - OK, the shopping centre isn't somewhere you'd go out of your way to visit, luckily due to being within the city centre of a big city, you don't have too, useful if you're looking for a specific store here but otherwise it's just another reasonable addition to Leeds' shopping scene.

The Merrion Centre is one of the larger shopping centres of Leeds and as such offers a little bit…read moremore choice in shopping. One of the most obvious shops within the Merrion Centre is the huge Morrisons, and accompanying car park, which is useful for residents across the city. The range of shops includes KRCS Apple Store, Fuji Hiro, Yorkshire Linen Co., Costa Coffee, Peacocks, O2 store, Thorntons and a great deal more. At the back of the Merrion Centre there are a number of indie style shops too, which often are overlooked, but are worth going along to check out. Some of the more innovative elements of the Merrion Centre include their impressive Christmas display which each year puts a smile on the wee kid's faces as they toddle past! Currently, or at least when I last visited, there was a really intriguing and interesting art installation along the walls of the entrance adjacent to Morrisons. I noticed that there were peep holes in the wall and odd lights, and on further investigation noticed that if you looked through the eye holes there were video projections, displays and models on show! It was really very cool. All in all, Merrion is a pretty decent place to shop. Certainly, it has enough of a range of stores to satisfy most people's tastes, needs and desires.

The slippers are knitted in China and feature a wide variety of designs - birds, rabbits, pandas, butterflies, flowers, baskets and abstract patterns. Prices start at £9.99 per pair. They come in bright shades of red, green, purple, pink, blue and darker, more muted browns, blues and black. The soles are either striped with bright colours or black. The overall design of the slippers shape-wise doesn't change, but the array of colours and patterns is vast. They come in a range of adult sizes - it's actually a shame they don't come in children's sizes as with the bright colours and cute patterns, children would probably love them! I have a feeling this shop is a recent addition to the market as it doesn't have a proper sign, just laminated print outs with their name in small writing and some information about the slippers. If so I wish it well, as it really brightens up the market's offering and, with its vibrant unusual style, makes a valuable addition to the rich and diverse mix of cultures and handmade creations Leeds Market has to offer.
