Although in general I find Clarks quite pricey, I think you tend to get what you pay for and their…read moresale shoes are often more affordable so tend to wait until after xmas/summer when the last seasons shoes are marked down, before venturing in! In the past I have bought pairs of school shoes for less than £10 and they are always great quality. their shoes are always very hardwearing and comfortable shoes, even on kids who are heavy on their feet. There are often queues of people waiting to have their feet measured, but if you don't visit during peaktimes (weekends and school holidays) it is often quite quiet and you are served fairly quickly. The staff are very friendly, helpful and good with the kids. I have often had shoes ordered from their warehouse if they haven't had a particular design in my size or width. They also cater for a wide selection of sizes so there should be something for everyone!

I always buy school shoes for my kids in the September and they last quite a while. If you can manage to get to the sales in the summer and after christmas you tend to get the shoes for half price or less, at these times, beware that there is always queues but a ticket systems is available so you take your turn. It is definately the best place to get you feet measured as an accurate machine does it for you. A nice store with friendly pleasant staff who are very helpful and patient with small children.

However the average price per pair is around £7 so you can't really grumble! They cater for ladies size 3-9 -- I find that they are in the minority of value shoe shops which sell size 9 shoes at affordable prices so they definitely get my approval. I find that in general the sizing is quite small, however, some styles do run large and when I do find a size 9 that fits, I buy a few pairs. Their sales are also pretty good - after xmas I have found some great sub-£10 boots in my size, as well as flat pumps for as little as £3 per pair. They also have some branded mens shoes at a fraction of what they cost in catalogues and sports shops. All in all the quality is not outstanding but if you are looking for a cheap pair of stylish shoes for a night out or casual shoes for work, then I definitely recommend Shoe Zone.

My sister gets school shoes from here, because she will go through many pairs in a year and they are cheap. I bought a pair of trainers from here for the gym as I was only going to wear them once a week. I tend not to shop here regularly, because they don't really have any pretty shows. So to summarise, great prices, not so great variety, but great for the basics.
