Where have you been so we won't suggest those shops again?

Can't go wrong with any Clarkes shoes for school .. does the one on Abbey Street still sell them ? If not, Clarke's shop in Blackburn/Burnley and Tommy Ball used to sell lots of Clarkes.

Hi Panther, have you tried the school uniform shop , top of the road by the bus station. Im looking for school shoes this week, my son is in a size 11 mens and cheap shoes only last him about 3 months before they split. Im thinking of looking up at Winfields to see what they have.

Id prefer the CAT shoes for him, the last ones lasted well over 12 months.

Tommy balls!

The shop on Abbey street didn't have clarkes baby shoes in (they do Start Rite) but I'm not sure about bigger sizes.

Tommy Balls, but remember to cut the string so she doesn't draw attention to herself.
