“I cannot recommend this place enough, I've never gone anywhere else for my son's shoes, my mum used to take me for mine! The staff are incredibly efficient and knowledgeable. The Golden Boot takes all the hassle out of school shoe shopping.”

 
 
 

“The best shoe shop I have EVER been to! We went there to buy my sons first pair of shoes. From the point of being greeted at the door by a lovely member of staff, we were totally overwhelmed by how friendly and helpful each and every member of staff was, not to mention their incredible range of high quality shoes! Fully recommended and leaves me wondering why all high street shops cant be this good!?”
