Great ordering system and fast delivery. Handbag was exactly what I was looking for and what sold it to me was the helpful short video showcasing the item. Great marketing!

Company details

  1. Shoe Store

Information provided by various external sources

North Shoes was founded in 1876 by William North, a boot maker from Haconby, a small village just outside Bourne. It is believed that it was his wife Sarah who instigated the business. She saw the property for sale whilst visiting the market in Bourne and proposed they sell shoes as well as make them. Boots were made on the premises until 1914 when demand became too high for the 12 employed boot makers and boots had to be sourced elsewhere. North Shoes, under the guidance of William North's great great grandson James, now has the original store in Bourne as well as three other shops located in Oundle, Cambridge and Stamford. Despite the expansion of North Shoes, the ethos of the business remains the same, quality footwear with honest dedicated customer service for all. North Shoes prides itself on being a children’s fitting specialist with staff trained to the highest standards. It hosts a generous range of width fittings and brands, to include Clarks, which has been part of the product range since the turn of the 20th century.

Top customer service at North Shoes

The staff at North Shoes could not have been more helpful when the sole of one of my husband's new Rieker shoes came away. They went through the exchange process as we had to choose new shoes and return the old pair by post. All the staff we dealt with went the extra mile. They were super-friendly and kept us in the loop via email. We would definitely recommend this company. They were a delight to deal with!

Excellent! Super fast delivery

I went into Reker and found a pair of boots I wanted. I decided to look online to see if I could get them cheaper and found North Shoes and they were £10 cheaper. I have never heard of them before but decided to give them a go. I ordered yesterday lunchtime and they arrived today just before noon and that was free delivery!
I will definitely use them again 10/10 x

Comfy after removing Insole

I have a pair I bought a few months ago, they were a little tight on one swollen foot, but decided to keep them.
I ordered another pair last week, arrived Saturday, and disappointed, in spite of being an H fitting, very tight.
I decided to check the size on the website, glad I did as I then noticed you can remove the insole, which I did and wow the difference is amazing, shant be sending them back.

My first order with this company

The shoes I ordered came the next day and were well packaged. The description had been spot on too. The price was superb and I really do feel like I have a bargain. I would not hesitate to shop here again.

Avoid at all costs

Sent the wrong boots. Then asked for us to send back so they could resend the correct pair ordered. The pair we ordered never arrived, a month of chasing them we were then told the original pair we purchased had been sent to the wrong customer??!! Without consultation North Shows decided to refund us without telling us to an account that was now shut. To date we still haven’t received boots or refund (two months later). After making formal complaint we were told to speak to our bank who confirmed monies for refund never recieved!! Will be taking legal action. Avoid at all costs. Wish we had paid normal price through a standard supplier.

Brilliant, professional service

My wife had seen a pair of boots locally that she liked but the shop didn't have them in the colour she wanted. After a bit of online research I arrived at North Shoes site. Not only did they have the colour and size required,but they had them at a 10% discount. Order placed, boots were dispatched the following day and arrived with me 3 days later. The boots were perfect and wife's a happy bunny. Brilliant service provided by this retailer, would happily use again.

I called their 0845 number that is advertised on their website all day but was sent forever to the answer phone. Email to sales was unreplied. Anyway finally managed to speak to someone by calling one of their shops and by accident the boss picked up the call. I thought he probably would like to know this problem because it's of course affecting his customers (and business as a result) so I told him how difficult i as a customer had experienced. But guess what? He is not interested, even said, "you can't expecct us to get back to you immediately." Oh well, you don't deserve my time, nor my money
