Such cute clothes and everyone who works here is so nice! My husband and I have purchased quite a…read morefew items here and we've really enjoyed the experience every time!

Welcome to the Clifton fashion boutique Maze…read more I visited here during the January sales hoping to find a bargain, more specifically I had tried a dress on in the French Connection in town which I really liked but needed a size 8. My heart did a little jump when I found that they did indeed have a size 8! But it fell right down to my feet when I saw they had it priced more more than double the FC sale price! I asked the shop assistant if perhaps it hadn't been marked down again yet but she informed me in a kind of 'how-many-more-times-do-I-have-to-go-through-this' kind of way that although they stocked FC lines, they do not have to mirror their prices. I was quite disappointed! Generally speaking, the ladies things are very nice but very expensive. But then, that's Clifton; in the changing room I overheard someone trying a dress on for her upcoming trip down the red carpet at the BRITS or BAFTAS or something like that! I think the men's section might be a bit better though.

Do you see what they've done? It's a play on words. They've used the word 'solelution'…read moredeliberately because it sounds like the word solution. The intention is a suggestion that this place can solve all your woes, sole related. Wonderful, except I couldn't see any fish anywhere. Anywhere. This place sell shoes. Unfortunately not shoes I like. Standard shoe shop with expensive ranges I've never heard of. This is not surprising though as I have no fashion taste at all. I wear clothes because I have to. This is probably the best shoe shop in Portishead. Sorry, the only shoe shop in Portishead (that I know of). I hope this helps. Bye.

When they were building the flats behind this shop its wall collapsed, with hundreds of boxes of…read moreshoes falling into the building site. They've recovered from that though and are back in business. This is somewhere for sensible shoes. I got trooped up here regularly in my youth as I outgrew my school shoes or put holes in them. I wasn't the sort of kid that likes buying shoes (actually, do any?) but the staff managed to get me to sit down, trot around in various pairs, and say which ones I liked, so hats off to them. Actually having people to help fit your shoes is so important, I reckon. It's all too easy to get some with a slight rub, which then turns out to give you blisters for the next four months. They've got a huge stock (they're especially good for half sizes), making them good if you need something very specific. The shoe repair service they do is cheap and quick. Furthermore, they seem to sell fairly sturdy stuff - nothing that'll fall apart within two weeks of your taking it home. They're a great place to get comfy work shoes that'll last you for a while.
