Cheap and cheerful shoe stall in the market. Not the greatest range and no designers here but if you just want the basic stuff at a good price then this is the place for you. read more

This is one of my favourite shops for shoes! It's located in a nice central position within the…read moreParkway Shopping Centre, right on the corner opposite the entrance to the In Shops. This shop has some real bargains. They always have a great range of boots and shoes, and I've picked up some lovely bargains both for myself and for my daughter. The staff are helpful and friendly.

I bought some sandals for my wife online for Christmas. I bought them in…read more October. On Christmas day she tried them on and they didn't fit. I immediately e-mailed on Christmas day to ask about an exchange but decided to order another pair so as to not miss out. I had no response to my original e-mail so I rang them today and was told that it was out of the fourteen day returns period and out of the 'extended Christmas period'. What am I supposed to do, get my wife to try them before Christmas ?? I would even have accepted a credit note in return but was told there was nothing I can do, I will not be using this store again and advise people buying gifts not to do so either!!! Since I wrote this review they have agreed to refund the money. The original service was excellent and had it not been for the initial problem we had, I would've awarded more stars. I've increased the star rating in recognition of them bending their rules to provide a good level of customer service. We will use them again.
This Shoe shop has been around for some years, not part of a chain. A few ago they got a job lot of…read moreDoc Martin shoes which had the Royal Mail stamped on the heal, a cancelled order and reasonably price for a quality shoe. Only smaller sizes it appears now. Many other styles of rugged boots & shoes available. Not open Tuesday or Wednesday. Also sell rucksacks, military style.

I never tend to go in this branch of Barratts very much. Not because I don't like the shop, but I'm…read morenot a fan of Barratts in particualr after receiving some very bad customer service from their head office about a year ago. The shop itself is pretty big and it seems clean and inviting. they always have some shoes outside to lure you in, but only left feet so they don't go missing! the last time I was in, the staff were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Also, I find their sizing to be quite erratic.
Really nice range of shoes here. I always find what I want in Barratts. Really good quality shoes…read moreas well. I find if there is a default on some shoes i get 10% off but only if you ask, apparently that is the max they can give you. Prices are okay but there are other shoe shops which are much cheaper. The staff leave you to your own devices unless you ask for help and you feel like your putting them out! The shop itself can vary from being tidy to being really messy. Guess it depends what time of day you go. Always seem to get staff standing around chatting instead of trying to help people, which is rather rude.
Quite a large shop with plenty for space. Everything from home wares to clothing, shoes and…read moreornaments. Very close to shopping precinct area, one of the few shops left open.no parking outside but a large free car park close by. Well worth a look in, if passing.
Fenwick is such a huge store! With an entrance on Northumberland street and one that opens onto The…read moreMonument as well as having other exits and entrances into different parts of intu Eldon Square...to say the least, I get very lost when I go in there. To confuse matters, there's also steps and stairs taking you here, there and everywhere! I much prefer Bentalls but I can say, Fenwicks does have a range of good name concession stands (which follow with the price tag), a make-up floor, some cute bits and pieces of stationary and randomly, some food joints which includes a sushi joint that kind of smells up the place. The layout is pretty confusing so I haven't ventured in too many times. There's wifi in here but you have to sign-up and it takes a while to be connected... The Christmas window this past year was pretty cool though (not sure if it was worth the queues or the aggressive shoving!) The building front from Northumberland street is a looker, if nothing else, Fenwicks can offer a visually pleasing building to admire.
I love Fenwicks! It's a fantastic department store with everything you could need under one roof…read moreand my personal go to place for a cosmetics and clothes fix! Whether it be perfumes,international foods from the food hall or homeware products Fenwicks has it all. There's a great choice of places to dine too including an American diner and Cafe 21 for those who literally like to shop until they drop. Plus what a bonus!! Every Christmas time they unveil their Christmas window (which changes each year) and flood Northumberland street with the cheery sound of Christmas music!
Fenwick is housed in a beautiful old building
The picture doesn't do justice to how large the store actually is!

I have real trouble finding good quality shoes that fit. I'm a ladies size 9 or 10 and as I'm sure…read moreyou can imagine, not many ladies have feet this big so they don't make them that big in most styles. Brantanos are one of the few places that go up to a size 9, and if you're lucky, sometimes they have size 10s in too. This branch is very big, and they have something to suit everybody. The staff are helpful, but unlike most shoes shoes, you don't have much interaction with them as all of the shoes are already paired up in boxes underneath the display. A really nice shop which is easy to get to and has a massive car park.
I'm not a big fan of clothes or shoe shopping, and try to get both done as quickly as possible…read more That said this is a good place to buy shoes-the store is big and spacious and carries a wide range of styles. It is always worth a look and being in the Arnison centre access is excellent also. I often pass by and always have a look in just in case.
Shoe Zone is a chain of high street stores which sell discounted shoes and bags for all the family…read more I have found that the quality of their shoes is rather hit-and-miss. 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.
I think that this store is perfect for someone wanting a generic black pair of work shoes, or a…read morecheap pair of trainers for the gym, other than that there is not much on offer. 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.

It sells shoes that are not designer makes…read moreyou know the type im on about, but surprisingly enough they are all good quality and lots and lots of different styles of men's and women's. The service is exceptional and can not be knocked in any way. A big shop for a local run place. A little bit hard to browse sometimes but the staff are very helpful without been pushy. There good for general day to day shoes prob not go down the red carpet in them or out on the town to be more realistic. If you want a god priced pair of average shoes try here, situated on the west road it does have parking outside and is just over the road from the fox and hounds bar.
I have purhased a pair of alfred sargent(dumfries) boots in the past from this shop that i went in…read moreonly yesterday to see if i could purchase another pair in black, but unfortunately nil stock, problems getting style of boot from supplier. I was offered to try another style very similar by loake but declined as i know what i want out of the boot. The staff were so full of appologies for not being able to help , which made me feel that i had let them down by not giving them a sale . As far as i am concerned this shop is for the person who wants quality and honest professional advise and fitting, give this shop a look in, i would rather give my money to a business like this than a major retail outlet, don't let our standards sink like the rest of the world 10/10 stil, having trouble finding pair even on net!(not good)

This is a very small branch of Clarks situated within the local branch of Mothercare. Because it is…read morea small outlet, it does not carry the full range of shoes, and obviously, it only stocks those from the children's range - being located in a children's shop! Although it is small, there is still quite a good range of footwear, especially for girls - for whom there are some very pretty girly styles as well as the more practical school shoes. Boy shoes are a little more boring, especially as they get older. the quality of the shoes is excellent, but you do pay highly for this quality - around £30 for a pair of shoes - more for boots. They do however have cheaper ranges like the Doodles summer sandshoes which are excellent value. the staff are friendly, polite and helpful - although there can be quite a long wait for fitting as it does seem to be short staffed at busy periods. They do offer a really nice touch of photographing babies when they get their first shoes and giving it to you in a presentation paper frame. Nice touch.
Bingo bags, glitzy purses, cheap cinderella slippers and kids school shoes can be found here. I…read morerecently bought a pair of quality grandad slippers which only set me back £6.99. If you are on a tight budget and need to buy shoes then you're in for a treat. There is a fairly good selection of cheap shoes but be aware that these shoes will not walk with you for life. You can expect them to crumble in time for your next visit to the cheap shoe shop. Those hideous bright coloured sandals are at the entrance and WILL set you off if you have an allergy to latex. Watch out!

The quality and styles are very nice too! I believe they also cater for men who have big feet too. In the Newcastle branch they do not have the tall/small shoes in store (in stock), however, they are happy to order in any shoes so you can try them instore before committing yourself to buying them. The assistants are always friendly though I do find it a little annoying when they approach you several times when you are just browsing. Still I guess they are trained to do this so it's not their fault. They also have a website where you can order items but there is a set postage charge, which is £3.50. I have ordered from there too and the service has also been good but if the shoes are unsuitable, you have to pay the return postage and they do not refund the £3.50 delivery charge. I have often taken shoes ordered on the Barratts website back to the store in Newcastle, and they have processed my refund and saved me return postage :D
