I am delighted to give top 5 star rating to this shoe shop. Paul Byrons Shoes based in the Manor Mills Shopping Centre in Maynooth is well worth a visit, particular at this time as they have an absolutely brilliant and genuine sale of top class shoes makes such as Skechers, Pitillos, Reiker, Crocs, Ecco, to name but a few. The staff there are the most helpful shop assistants I have ever come across and are consistently friendly and just plain nice to customers, even when they are very busy and under pressure such as at present during the sale and parents trying to get shoes for children going back to school etc. I was there recently and bought a fantastic pair of Reiker sandals for a mere € 35 less than half the original price. I also tried on the most comfortable pair of shoes that I have put on my bunioned feet — Pitilos with a nice heel height and classic stylish look, but they didn’t have my size in the navy colour that I so wanted to match a lovely new dress! However, the helpful assistant whom I dealt with Sinead, saw how disappointed I was and went above and beyond the call of duty and said she would check around all the other shops to see if she could locate a pair for me — by the way they have stores all over the country from Maynooth, Newbridge, covering the whole of the midlands and some of the West as far as Galway. I had only left the shop an hour when Sinead called me and said she had located a pair for me in the Athlone shop and would have them delivered to Maynooth within a week where I could pick them up. In fact, much to my surprise I got a call again from Sinead within 3 days saying that they had now got the shoes in and I could call to collect them… which of course I did, much to my delight and even better to get them again at the reduced price of € 37 from the original € 85 — was I trilled or what! So if you want to bag a bargain, head straight to Paul Byron Shoes. Incidentally, I have discovered that they also have a very good online shop, but because of my ‘troublesome’ feet, I am one of these people who simply has to try on the shoes first before purchasing.
