If the shoe fits, buy it in every colour! No, I don't have…read morehundreds of shoes but I know people who do. Pavers Outlet is rather extraordinary - I got some desiner trainers for £14, but casual slingbacks cost me £34. Mind you most of the footwear is Italian, even in the Outlet. In the other half of the store, are brands which are far more expensive. My friend and I examined an exquiste stiletto in a neutal colour with embroiderie, around £120. 'Great for a wedding!' I decided. 'Or just round the house' said my friend. 'Yes, with nothing else on' I concurred. Really besides real elagance like that, you get The Really Useful Shoe, The Flatty, Trouser Shoes, and all points in between those. Some of their mules are great, flattering and summery. There is every type of shoe Under The Sun. Oh, but the boots! Now, I do have a boot fetish and I get most of my boots here. Usually I wait for the sale and get two pairs maybe. The staff are good fun, enjoy my visits with a certain friend, and are helpful to boot!!! Oh, the good ones are the best!

A huge shoe shop, at 'discount' prices…read more I think there has to be shoes here for everyone. I've bought some. The quality is not particularly good, although I think that's more luck, as there are some good ones. Everything is laid out in sizes, rather than style so it takes a lot of looking to find what you're after. If you have a lot of time to search, then this may well turn up a bargain for you.

This store has a huge range of shoes, for men women and children…read more The format of the store is that it is largely self service and the staff are not that helpful. The store is airy and well laid out, in size order so you can easily check what they have available in your size, the trick is to not look at any other sizes otherwise you can get tempted with other styles and then be disappointed when they don't have them. It worth looking out for offers here as they do good deals for example a discount when you bring in an old pair of shoes.

The staff are friendly and patient and good humoured when serving children and I always go here for shoesrather than to the more impersonal shops in town. Car parking nearby. Clarks shoes stocked.

This shop is where I get all my daughter's dance gear…read more Me, I just get Leotard, dance tights, tap shoes, split sole jazz shoes and ballet shoes. Matching ribbonsand ankle warmers. They also sell gymnastics leotards, ballroom dresses, ballroom shoes, jazz trousers, 'jogging outfits' (for staying warm in), cuban heels, hair nets, sparkly bits for everywhere. It is an absolute life saver, except that it doesn't open until ten, and the staff are great. All sorts of hair accessories, dance bags, shoe bags and you name it bags. I try to leave said daughter elsewhere when I need to go there.

Fabulous shoe shop - always well worth a good snoop…read more They sell such quality shoes and boots and bags, I'm proud Bournemouth has this shop. Service and quality are really the hallmarks here, so expect a bit of a price tag. I don't get here that often so I try to make a point of going in even if I have no intent to buy anything. I love the smell of leather, and looking at their stuff. Well worth a visit,

A rather expensive but stylish shoe shop. And of course, lots of leather handbags!…read more For me this is a browse only, unless there's a real bargain, due to the price tags. For shoe ladies this is a little paradise, and for bag ladies. I have more shoes than bags. So for those shoe fashinistas, this is a definite must visit.

This little shop is filled with good bargains. From cheapy to elegant, formal to beach…read more A selection of purses, mostly not my taste, but jolly useful for presents to little girls. If you are a handbag lady, this shop is for you as it stocks a range of colours, styles and prices. I'm a one bag girl, but now I'm going to get a little black number to use with my black coat. There are small backpacks - the type school children use for as little as £5. The beach bags/summer shoppers are varied and some are so pretty and feminine. The staff are very friendly indeed and will recommend a better option if you explain what you want. There are some friends I won't go in here with - I'll never get out!!
