Welcome to our site!

Whilst nothing beats coming into the physical shop, this site aims to be a close second. Although we cannot possibly list everything here we have in the actual shop. Regular customers will know what a vast range of lovely things we stock!

As in the shop, we are constantly looking for new and interesting items, so whilst some stock lines remain constant, others will change from time to time. This means that we don't always have large quantities of stock of some lines, so if you see something here you simply must have, don't leave it too long before ordering!

Been in the shop and loved something but didn't buy it? Look through our site and see if it's here. If not, try e-mailing us, or phone the shop; we run a mail order service for customers who can give us the name or an adequate description of the item they want!

Payment on the site is through Paypal, but you do not have to have a paypal account to be able to do this

PLEASE NOTE
These shoes are American and as such, they come to us in US sizes. We've put UK sizes on the site here, according to our experience 'out in the field' so to speak, to help you select your size. Please, be prepared to discuss, where necessary, via phone or e-mail suitable sizes before purchasing, otherwise you may end up paying several postage fees to get the shoes that fit you. We cannot pay for sending extra pairs out, if the first don't fit you, without putting all our prices up considerably.

DON'T SEE YOUR SIZE HERE? e-mail us with your size details - we may be able to order very soon and can add yours to it!
Shoes can be exchanged if necessary, as long as they are returned to us in pristine, un worn condition!
