Boots

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Around mid-december just before I left Sheffield I found these amazing black boots in one of the shops. Them being a bit out of my budget at the time I just left them.
Now they were either Paul Smith or Ted Baker. And know they were from the A/W collections, but can't find them on neither the Ted Baker or Paul Smith home-page. It really really annoys me. Anyone knows of some magical shoe catalog online?

    There are a few shoe catalogues online although I guess most people don't buy shoes online because they want to try them on first.

    zappos is probably the biggest online site for shoes but they only sell to the USA.

    In the UK, you do have Kays which has a comparatively limited selection but they do deliver free and you can return goods if they don't fit, or if they do not look the same in real life as they did on the site.

    There are a few others online stores, in particular duoboots which specialise in boots of different calf widths (thus cater for fatter and thinner legs) although they might be a bit pricy for you.

    There is quite a nice Italian site that I think will ship to anywhere in the EU. They have a fixed delivery rate of 9 euros to anywhere in the world. Not sure what their returns policy is.

    If you particularly want a Paul Smith or Ted Baker then perhaps they have a store locator and you can find a local store near you where they might have a sale.

    By the way, the best time of year to buy boots is March - by then most stores are reducing their stock of boots getting ready for the summer and you can buy them at enormous reductions, eg boots that are normally priced at over £200 you can buy for £85.

    Thanks for the help.
    Though it's the specific pair of boots that I am after - and don't have patience to wait until March (if they'll still be in the shop at that time!), so I will have to pay what they cost, when I find them.
    Thanks anyways.
