Default Boot stores in England

A friend of mine will be in England later this month. He is visiting from Africa. He would like to buy a pair of black knee boots in size 12. He must buy in person and pay cash. Can anybody give me the names, addresses, phone numbers or websites of good boot stores?

The boots are for him, not his wife. He wants a nice 3 or 4 inch heel. Zipper or pull on. If you need more information, please let me know.

Badger

Elephant shoes in London and Magnus seem like the best bets.

They both have websites which you can find in Google.

I think Xaphod means Elephantfeet of Brixton, South London.

Magnus are in Chiltern Street, central London.

Brantano (many branches) have chunky heeled kneeboots which normally go up to size 9 0r 10 maximum, but they tell me they will be going up to size 12 or higher for certain selected lines, so ask them at the counter.

Also Evans Ltd. sometimes go up to size 12.

Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

My friend will be in London and maybe as far north as Cambridge. Thanks for the stores mentioned so far.

John,

Thank you for the link to http://www.largelifestyles.co.uk
Pity I can't email them because every email comes back in my mailbox as Delivery has failed. I tried info---, sales--- and help---, all three failed :(
Thanks anyway for the links

Robert

That's funny, the link came from the Sunday Times, Style section of only a couple of weeks ago.

Could be that the author didn't bother to check the link.

Can you verify if the address

K Block
Cobbold Road
London NW10 9ST
United Kingdom

PHONE: 0208 451 0190

is right please?

If that's o.k. can you inform what email address one can use?
Maybe they should make a website update.

Thanks in advance.

Robert

Robert, I phoned the number which is for the shoe store. The address is correct also. They said they were having problems with their web provider.

They also said they were a warehouse, not a shop, but if people made an appointment, they could try on shoes at the warehouse.
