MAKE sure you’re buying the right shoes for you – make tracks for Footprints.

The 10 Westgate, Peterborough, shoe store is the only fitting specialist in the city. Footprints is a member of the Society of Shoe Fitters and manageress Rosemary Gray, who has 36 years’ experience in the trade, says: “As fitting specialists we offer a proper traditional service, ensuring customers get the best shoes for their needs and the correct fit.” Rosemary is a tutor for the Society and all Footprints staff are fully-trained with the organisation, which aims to ensure the shoe industry gives the best possible help to the public with shoe fitting, foot care and shoe buying.

The store can also cater for special footwear needs and has ladies’ width fittings in 1E, 2E 4E, 6E and 8E. Footprints has a wide range of good quality footwear for children and ladies to suit all tastes and needs and is about to launch its autumn/winter ranges.

New for the season is footwear by Van Dal and Easy B, to complement the store’s other ranges – Hotter, Rieker, Tamaris, FitFlop and Moshulu slippers. You won’t find the Hotter and Van Dal main brands anywhere else in the city, and Rieker, Tamaris and Moshulu are also exclusive to Footprints. Van Dal offers dress shoes in wide fittings and Easy B caters for ladies with special foot needs. Rieker, Tamaris and Hotter products are soft, light and flexible. Hotter footwear embraces the comfort concept, while Rieker sell 15 million pairs of shoes worldwide each year. German manufacturers Tamaris cater for young mums with their soft shoes and the Moshulu slipper range is also trendy. Footprints’ children’s footwear includes proven names like Start Rite and Ricosta. The experts say that about 70 per cent of foot problems can be avoided with proper fitting shoes – let Footprints put you on the right path.

Footprints is open seven days a week – 9am-5pm, Monday-Saturday; and from 11am-3pm on Sundays.

FitFlop Super Tone, Will They sell fast...

ddd, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss GMT

Introducing the FitFlop Supertone™ – our new muscle-toning, energizing, shock-absorbing sneaker.

After more than a year in engineering, our product technology and design team has managed the perfect merger, amalgamating our patent-pending, muscle-loading Microwobbleboard™ technology with the all-weather wearability of a classically-shaped, trend-conscious leather sneaker.

Cleverly designed to hide the ‘toning sole’ (so you can wear it everywhere without anybody knowing you’re getting a workout) the FitFlop Supertone™ has an ageless, cool, go-everywhere style, with our thigh-toning, foot-flexing, bottom-benefiting biomechanics built-in. Best of all – it doesn’t look like a shoe that’s ‘good for you’.

Are Lelli Kelly School Shoes strong enough for school wear?

The proof will be in the pudding once school starts... The styling is perfect for the girls, just what they are looking for and the quality looks good this year so we decided to buy them for the first time.

Three seperate strap attachments mean that the Lelli Kelly School shoe can also double as an out-of-school shoe & party shoe, therefore providing great value for money.
