Grahams Shoes

Hello
«Hello» said the nice but clearly tired shop assistant, «how can I help you?»
She looked at me, realised it was unlikely that I was in to get shoes for myself (we were in the kids dept) and looked for the child that must be somewhere in tow.
…there he was… faster than a speeding bullet, diving through my legs, past the fish tank (really big, impressive and colourful) and under the benches.
She looks at the legs and feet poking out, measures the feet and gets a selection of runners for himself.
The selection was big and well chosen… All bright, boyish and garish as hell.
I spotted the ones he would go for immediately — not the most expensive (but not cheap), but by far the brightest most garish runners I have ever seen — they even had lights, lots of lights.
Within 2 mins he had them on
He didn’t take them off for 3 days.
Great shop, great (and very tolerant) staff.

Was in this shop for the proverbial first pair of shoes for my daughter. The staff was incredibly efficient and fast, I mean I wasn’t there more than 4 minutes and 13 seconds and I was already punching my pin number in the machine…
They seem to have quite a big choice for children’s shoes but somehow there was only 1 pair that fit my girl, and it was purple and more expensive then mine.
… And now I have to make everything match with the purple shoes.

*** This is a review of the children’s shop ***
In my view the best kids shoe shop in Dublin. They have been fitting shoes on the feet of the tiny forever and a day, and here your kids’ tootsies are in safe hands.
They stock a broad range of makes, including Clarks and Startrite and other European ones the names of which I can’t remember and my experience of which has never been quite as good as those named brands either. More prone to wear n tear, etc.
The staff are very competent and experienced dealing with the vagaries of the tiny, and display great patience even in the face of rough odds (cue tantruming two-​year-​old with surprisingly robust lungs for a creature that comes up to your knee). It appears that there is no limit to the number of times they will run up and down the stairs in pursuit of the ideal small shoe, either.
There’s a large fish tank too, ideal to distract kids or, if things get really bad, threaten them with (you wanna swim with the fishes, kid?).
Worth keeping an eye out for sales — they do the old-​fashioned kind, like BTs, with proper percentages off.
Word to the wise: If you don’t want your kid to be offered a lolly at the end of a purchase (who knows, they may already be sugared to the hilt, tipping point to the place of no return just a gram of sucrose away), get your spoke in early. Or pay the price.

Above anything, this was the best service I have received in a kids shoe shop in Dublin, ever! Quick, accurate and the girl was very good with kids. Price the same as Clarkes but without the rushed and tired attitude of their staff. They also had a great selection of shoes. My next visit will be for myself. The women’s shoes are right next door, so I can look in peace! I Highly recommend this shoe shop…

I’ve passed by this store loads of times & I’d typically pause to take in their little array of quirky-​yet-​understated shoes — today I decided to pop in. I was left alone to browse until I needed a size (something I prefer, myself), & totally lucked out with a couple pairs in the sale section (2 pairs at half off, roughly € 15 each). They carry my little size 3/​36, which I’m finding to be a nice perk.
Fair play, Grahams, keep the cool kicks comin’.

Graham’s is an excellent and awesome shoe store for a couple of reasons.
1. The price point of every pair is not ridiculously high
2. The selection is offbeat and fun
3. The staff is fun
4. There are always lots of shoes on sale, especially between seasons
Selling a range of casual sneaks, edgy leather boots and unusual and fun heels, Graham’s has a great mix of stuff that will keep you from blending in. Think of this place as a little bit indie. They sell a few brands that I have always loved — Poetic License and Irregular Choice, which I haven’t found anywhere else in Dublin. The prices aren’t bad, and the sale prices are awesome. Lots of pairs are half off or even more! Definitely check this place out if you’re not interested in the cookie cutter party girl look.

Grahams Shoes stocks quite a range of fashionable footwear for the ladies of Dublin. Here you can find a slipper to hold you in good stead for the large majority of social engagements, from the very casual to the very formal.
They have one particularly cool brand at Grahams, and that is Irregular Choice. Very unique and out-​there shoes, these ones. I’d fancy my feet in a pair of these babies any day.
As with most clothing and shoe shops in Dublin, Grahams is having a big sale at the moment.
