If you look around the shopping malls on any day, you’ll see the shoe shops always have customers and some have more than others. Most of us aren’t content with one or two pairs of shoes as we’re always on the look-out for more fashionable pairs to go with our clothes. For women, we have wedges, kitten heels, high heels, sneakers, sandals, boots, pumps, loafers, flats, brogues and the list goes on. We’re lucky to have many choices of footwear here as we have locally made as well as a fine selection of imported footwear.
