McKay Footwear

This is a local shoe shop which caters for the more mature customer. Having worked in a proper old ladies shoe shop which specialised in hammer toes, bunions and arthritis, I can appreciate this place. Or could.
They do definitely cater for more mature customers from their styles (kitten heals and navy sensible work shoes with a half inch heel) and colours. Their stock is also a pretty good range and they seem to have a good variety of sizes, or are at least willing to investigate the possibility of ordering them in (very unusual in this day and age).
However, despite all of the above and how nice the staff are I can’t help but feel that this shop doesn’t sit right. It is for older customers, but it’s still trying to straddle the style and fashion side of things. Most importantly, their shoes don’t look that comfortable and — going by the leather — a bit overpriced.
Though, I’m more than willing to put my reservations down to having had three years plus of very good shoe training (it was an old school independently run and owned shop — you get the idea…). Hence, to the average customer or window shopper — who is the over side of forty — this place is decent enough and an usual find in the immediate local area. So, worth a quiet afternoon browse.
