So after I had been to the shoe zone in the penny meadow shopping centre I found this one and went…read morein, within two minutes of being there the assistant asked if I needed any help so I asked whether they had a size 7 in a slip on with the ornamental buckle on the side in black and he went to go have have a look and low and behold he did, however the size 7 was slightly too big for me so I asked if he had the same shoe in a size 6, which he did. Now I must admitt that the service I got from this chap was extremely good and I will most definetly be going back to him no doubt about it

Today I decided to go into shoe zone for another pair of shoes. On entering the store I found out…read morewhere the mens shoes were on show, and after a while of looking I could not find the style I wanted which was a black size 7 slip on with the little ornamental buckle on the side, so on asking the assistant if they had that style she told me rather rudely that they did not have that style and have not had it in at all this year of which I then told her that she was lying and that I bought a pair on the 21st March 2012. I shall be writting a letter of complaint into the management of that shop

And my goodness they do that too. But these are always so comfy as well and that's worth a great deal more than you'll pay :) it's lovely. And the staff are so kind and unobtrusive, they let you get on with things or will become a little more chatty if they see you'd like some help. I hope I'm not alone in getting a little flushed and flustered when there's someone watching over you whilst trying shoes on... But these guys leave you to it, in a comfy leather chair until you stand in front of one of of many helpful full length mirrors.

They look great. And the shop is so pleasant I wouldn't go anywhere else.

With makes such as Ikon and Hi-Tec, your not blown away by the power of the brand, which in many ways is good (on a cultural and philosophical level), but in all other levels, that is a bad thing. Best thing about here, not surprisingly, is that if your on a budget it's really good value for money, and you can buy smart as well as casual shoes here too, for a snip of the price that other retailers in Lewes would charge.
