Shoe store blissssssss!…read more I had about 15 minutes to spare on a recent Friday near Spitalfields, and was summoned to Author by the "20% off all full-price items" sign + balloons. I mean, even the most priciest of shoes discounted by 20 percent means "yay" right? Yes. Well, I didn't end up with that discount -- but I did find 2 (yes, TWO!) pairs of ankle boots on the sale rack. God bless having a weird size and a penchant for boots I can walk around London in. Score, score! One black and one brown, both fabulous and already marked down by about 25 percent to speed their exit. I'd been looking for ages to replace my Berlin flea market finds (RIP) -- and finally, I've got my upgrades. Worth the wait. The sales girls were VERY helpful, quite nice, not pushy and very accommodating. Unexpected and delightful. I walked out 2 bags heavier and a very happy woman. From the outside this looks like a posh joint, but don't be fooled -- there is something for the savviest of shoe shoppers as well, and the fancy stuff isn't overpriced. They specialize in stylish/comfortable footwear, with a few oddities thrown in for good measure. I won't hesitate to stop into their other locations when out and about, and I will surely be making the Spitalfields outpost a regular on my rotation. *as Caren H mentioned, no Amex. All other cards accepted.

Author may well be my favourite chain shoe shop ever. They have locations in Covent Garden,…read moreLeicester Sq, Camden Town, Spitalfields, etc.... all over. The shoes are a range of prices from, well, pricey, to completely affordable. I've found all the sales staff at multiple locations to be very friendly and helpful, often offering to call other branches if they lack a size you need (which, sadly, seems to often be the case... stocks aren't huge, especially during sale time. Which is the only downsize... They will advertise a huge sale, but then only have shoes in tiny and huge sizes. Alas, the plight of the averagely-footed woman, but I digress from my first world problems). The style is eclectic, but you won't find casual sneakers or uber slutty heels here. Think espadrilles, unique heels, spanish leather sandals, oxfords... good men's selection of stylish casual shoes as well. Yes, stylish casual... I'd say that is the theme here. Shoes that would go well in an Anthropologie store, basically.

He was so friendly and helped us from the very beginning. The store had basically any size you needed, but only sold a couple of styles. Even though there weren't many styles to choose from, they had the most popular ones. I bought the Black Fine Haircell Boot from Dr. Martens here for 89 Euros and the 8 Eye Derby Boot from Solivar for also 89 Euros. Everything you buy here is affordable and at a reasonable price for these brands. Definitely advise you coming here if you are looking for cheap and popular brand name shoes!

The store has an amazing selection of Solovair and DMs. Worth a visit! Two notes: 1. It's cash only, no card or Apple Pay 2. The hours online don't match the actual store hours ( see notes below) --------------------------- On Yelp, Blackman's listing shows them as open on Tuesday and Thursday through Sunday. I made a trip all the way across London on Tuesday morning only to find that they are not open Tuesday at all. Their hours are Thursday through Saturday 12-5, according to the sign on their shuttered storefront. Honestly, how difficult is it to keep your hours on Yelp up to date? That trip across London wasted 90 minutes.

They won't be cheap but given the life in them if properly cared for, they'll be of tremendously good value. With this thought in mind, I suggested we visit Grenson's newly opened shop in Spitalfields. Whilst a larger space than the Liverpool Street outpost, they had a smaller selection here. For more classic options that store may be a better bet. Still, the man minding the shop here on Hanbury Street was helpful to my shoe-buying companion, answering his various questions and fetching different sizes. I was prepared for an exhaustive search but the bloke made his mind up on the Tom style in tan in nearly no time at all. The good news for ladies: I got confirmation today that a number of the men's offerings will be available in women's sizes come fall. I'm pretty much holding my breath and trying not to burst with excitement in the meantime; at the moment there's nothing for us here.

Seeing a shop with shoes in I was automatically pulled in by unseen wires. There is a wide range of shoes. Initially I thought these were full of flat sensible shoes but as I turned around low and behold there were higher trendy shoes, bags and also mens shoes. Having had a little wander round I was able to select a lovely pair of shoes (many complements when I wear them) for a bargain price (leather shoes in the sale at a good price). Not necessarily a shop I would go out of my way for however worth a wander in if you happen to be in the area.
