NORTH SHOES: Quality Product – Quality Fitting!

Agood shoe-fitting service is particularly important for children and, as North Shoes prepares for the very busy back-to-school summer period, they are encouraging customers to benefit from an appointment booking system. A simple, online process reserves a thirty-minute slot at any of its shops in Bourne, Stamford and Oundle.

Managing Director, James North, explains: “Walkin customers will always be made very welcome, and they can expect our highest level of customer service. But to ensure there is no waiting and to guarantee our trained staff are available to help them, we’re asking people to consider using the online booking system. That way our customers can choose a time most suitable to them and know that they have at least thirty minutes to relax and enjoy a top-quality shoe-fitting service.”

All children’s feet are measured as a starting point, but James insists that what follows next is equally important and is what sets North Shoes apart from high street chains. “We fit all shoes with growing room, not the size they measure. We fit the correct size, width and style shoe that supports the foot but allows it to grow naturally,” he says.

North Shoes’ school brands are the well-known and trusted Clarks, Start-Rite, Geox and Ricosta. There’s a choice of lace-up, slip-on and Velcro fastening, and there’s a large range of styles for boys and girls, including the popular chunky look. When shoes are fitted properly, primary school children are likely to need one to two pairs per year, while secondary school students should last most of the year with a single pair.

Offer valid until September 4th 2023

“We want them to last and, by coupling up our quality shoe-fitting service with a good, branded shoe, we’re confident that parents and guardians will be happy that it proves value for money,” adds James, who is the fifth generation of the independent family business started in Bourne 147 years ago. All its colleagues are trained members of The Society of Shoe Fitters.
