Recently refurbished, this Shoe Zone store is in the Manchester Arndale in the Halle Malle section…read moreof the shopping centre, it is basically located next to the new multi-million-pound dining complex, next to CeX and Archies, and opposite the former Starbucks unit which is currently vacant. The refurbishment brings the store in line with the new Shoe zone layout they are slowly implementing, which makes the stores just seem a lot less ugly and hideous. The store does look and feel a lot nicer now, a way to describe Shoe Zone would be similar to Primark, but mainly for shoes, the shoes are more "budget" and if you have special requirements for shoes other than getting a quick pair which might not be fantastic quality, this place isn't for you. They basically have the shoes lines up ready for you in different sizes, and you don't really need to call a member of staff to get your shoes, as traditional. The staff don't seem as helpful or friendly as other shoe stores as a result. 2* - Decent for getting a cheap pair of shoes, you only plan to use once or twice, if you're looking for quality or perhaps a better and more fashionable choice this isn't the place for you.

Ah, Shoe Zone. Aka the Twilight Zone. Not because it's full of pale kids with greasy hair and an…read moreunnatural lust for vampires, no, because I find it to be one of the most confusing shoe stores I've encountered since Deichmanns. I set foot into Shoe Zone just once, simply because I was desperately seeking shoes to match the wedding outfit I had for New Year and I was getting to the point where I literally had to jump into every shoe outlet in Manchester. Otherwise, there had been nothing to entice me into Shoe Zone. No intriguing display, no pretty colours... it's like the Army and Navy store version of a shoe shop, militant, bare, minimalist and seemingly laid out by a person with OCD. Indeed, what you will find is very neatly stacked and colour coordinated shoes. You just won't find interesting shoes. It's a great option for people seeking simplicity. You've got brogues, wellies, loafers, something for the kids... but party shoes and ballet pumps, platforms and strappy sandals are noticeably absent. You know when Jen refers to the outdoor smoking area in The IT Crowd as 'Soviet'? That's kind of how Shoe Zone feels. Fine for the basics, cheap as you like, but a little too military for my tastes.

Granted a lot of the footwear isn't as high quality as say Clarks for example and many of it is man made fibers yet for the price, you get a lot for your money. The store is quite light and easy to maneuver around and the staff are attentive.

Don't go looking for incredible quality, real leather or brand names because you won't find them at Shoe Tree. What you will find, is fun, fashion shoes, cheap and cheerful copies of shoes like crocs for next to nothing. The staff are helpful and they have a good range of sizes. They do a great selection of school pumps, the kind fancier shoe shops are selling for £20 for about £2.99 so there are bargain to be had.

They always get a nice selection of novelty slippers in at Christmas time. Like lsat year my son bought his dad a pair of homer simpson slippers! The staff are ok but i don't think they are very helpful. A lot of the time they are too busy talking to each other to bother helping any of there customers. They have little foot measureers in here so that you can measure your feet yourself but i don't think they are very accurate.

They also sell kids shoes as well and when they want to get rid of their stock they put 2 same shoes for half price! They put a lot of offers on. Not only that they get updated selection of shoes that look very similar to the shoes in catalogues but 3 times less the price! Which is quite impressive.

They also sell umbrellas, handbags and shoes accessories such as shoe horns and polish. The staff are always friendly and say hello when you walk through the door. They are always happy to help too and don't mind if you ask them to try on lots of different shoes and size. Another good thing about faith is that they do go up to a size 9 and have a wide leg range in their boots. They aren't the cheapest shoe shop around but the shoes they do sell are top quality and in my honest opinion worth the extra money. If you are on a budget its worthwhile looking out for the sales at Christmas, summer and spring time as many great bargains can be had.
