Iris is actually an independent shoe manufacturer and sells here all the labels they also produce, so only brands that they work with. Impressive. This factory knows how to make quality shoes as all these are made with such care and attention to detail I have never seen elsewhere. Too bad they didn't take part on the sales as their rival Matches did located on the very same street and I ended up getting my shoes from there with a very decent discount. During the credit crunch times a girl needs to watch out ever during shoe shopping!

If I start by telling you that this shoe shop belongs to the Joseph empire you'll get an idea of…read morewhat lies in store. It's the place to visit if you like shoes that inspire lust and worship or as artworks to be admired. Labels here include Marc Jacobs, Chloé, Viktor & Rolf and Gaultier. Almost all are gorgeous and will transform an outfit unforgettably. The colour choice is bang-on-trend with acid and bold bright notes enhancing the already tantalising styles. The downsides are restricting your choice and paying the bill!

Just take care of your purse and watch out for those sneaky eyes and opportunistic furtive looks and Bob might turn out to be your rich uncle after all. Ok, Clarks used to be for truly 'sensible' people. No style, no elegance, just the 'raw' deal. You could really see what you were getting in a pair of Clarks shoes. Really no mystery at all. And, you would damn well know that dear Aunt Mabel would have herself a field day drooling over those thick, flat, librarian style sling backs that would last her at least 15 more years. But...and wait for it....I don't kid you. Clarks have really modernised and yes, become quite hip in the process and our feet, which have been feeling the squeeze on so many levels for years, are really benefiting tremendously. Like many, I used to always give Clarks a sideways glance, knowing exactly what was through that door. Thought - Nana Mouskouri, thick rimmed glasses - and hairy armpits and moved quickly by. But, their bright and encouraging window dressing display finally got me in one day, but not before checking out my panoramic vision to see who might be watching me decamp into the depths of the unknown. I told myself I was taking the plunge...for dear Aunt Mabel. And, I have been pleased I did ever since. Their own range of goodies that they proudly display all over the show are indeed 'sensible' but without the loss to style. They have learnt. Their Un-Structured and Active Air range are their main support system and they are great. Coming in all sorts of delightful styles and modern colours that would comfort and nurture any foot with callouses and bunions brought on by years of stiletto wearing. They still don't cater for the real 'fancy dress party popper' or for the woman who, instead of going on a diet, just increases the height of her heel in order to 'hopefully' get that long skinny look. But, what you do get, is a good-looking, sensibly priced shoe, with lots of choices in store that are strong and long wearing that you won't have to take off mid-sentence just because that blasted blister is too much to bear.

The staff are overly friendly and helpful, one woman helped me choose my winter boots last year which my gran bought me for christmas. Whoop. The clientele are generally posh and have money to spend, so it is always really busy. I felt very inclassy in there, but nevermind! It is always fun to pretend. As well as office brand shoes, they have bigger names such as red or dead. This office has some of the more expensive range on offer. A good place to get some shoesies at an affordable price!

We visited on a Saturday while the market was in full swing so the store was crammed with people. The Mister was taken with their men's messenger bags and settled on a very stylish model that was waxed so it's rain resistant. At under £40, it was reasonably priced and it's good quality too. Kelly couldn't resist a smaller purse - again, stylish, sturdy and a great souvenir! The staff, despite being so busy, was lovely and gave us some good recommends for local places to grab a bite.

All shoes I've bought here have held up wonderfully and are super comfortable. The reason I rave about this company though is the customer service I received while making an international shipping order from their website. They were able to deliver to a tiny hotel in Lake Como, Italy, within a relatively limited time frame. They even called the hotel to ensure the package arrived when they couldn't reach me by cell phone. I couldn't be more grateful for their diligence.

For a special event, I finally went in and told one of the sales staff what I was looking for. He took me to exactly the perfect pair right away, helped me pick out the right size, and then advised me to get it in a 1/2 size too large as I was going to be wearing them dancing (darn those swollen feet). I can't put on that pair of shoes without thinking of all the other shoes that I want from here!

Of course who would argue with the trendy shoes and trainers that Office produces?, yet, if you…read morewant a real glimpse of all their shoes, I'd recommend you go to a larger branch like the one in Queensway. The Portobello market version is ok, but I feel like it's not big enough to encompass all the shoes of the current season. I don't mean to deter you from going into the shop, but I'd rather see everything that's available than just buy one pair of shoes from what one shoe store has. Shopping for shoes is a different issue in comparison to general clothes shopping, because at least you know what style you want, so you go to a particular clothes store. Yet, with shoes stores, they try to sell all different styles and genres in one store, which makes it very difficult. Portobello is very busy on a Saturday so visit during the morning if you have to. Prices vary for Office shoes, from £30 100, so be wary of your pocket money. I usually find that the quality of their shoes are average. Office shoes won't break easily yet they won't last for years on end. The style, however, in undeniably unique. I'll always have a look at what Office has install each season byscanning their window display in 20 seconds.
