HH Shops around Manchester (UK)

zathrus69 · 8th August 2003, 14:45

Folks,

I'm getting bored with my 4" heels and I'm looking to get a pair of 5" or 6" 'ers but I'd rather not buy them over the Net as I can't afford to wait for them to come in the post. Does anyone know of any good HH stockists in and around the Manchester area? I know a lot of the named stores do a good range of 4" maybe 4.5" shoes (e.g. Schuh, River Island) but I haven't been able to find a shop selling anything higher....well, apart from Jef Baines just down the road in Stoke. However, that's a little too close to home for me to chance not being spotted by someone who knows me, so I'd like to go further afield for my shopping trip.

BTW: Liverpool or Birmingham aren't out of the question either...I'm prepared to put in some mileage if the shop is worth it :-)

Failing this - can anyone recommend any UK based Net retailers who can deliver within 2-3 days. Most say up to 14 days but I can't wait that long. Yeh, I know, I'm like a bad doctor - no patients

Thanks,

Zathrus

You could always check out the Birmingham Bizarre Bazaar. I can't remember the URL off-hand, but I'll post it when I do. It's a good day out, and of course there's usually at least one stall selling heels to take away there and then!

If you want to try www.thelittleshoebox.com in London, 0207 607 1247. They have some shoes in stock and have been very reliable with my deliveries when I have bought all my extreme heels over the phone or net. They are quite expensive, but you do get a very high quality shoe or boot with up to 6" heels or even ballet heels if your feeling a little more adventurous.
How much are you willing to spend on your shoes?

Not as much as I would like to :-( Realistically I can't spend more than £40 at the moment - which may make things a little tricky.

I just fancied looking at some higher heeled shoes - even if, in the end, I can't afford them. I think I'll bob down to Jef Bains early tomorrow and look at their 5" collection before zooming off to Manchester for a bit of shopping. Who knows, I might find something interesting in the market in the Arndale Centre :-)

Cheers for tip on LTSB. I might give them a ring when I get back from M'cer if I haven't found anything I like.
