LovesHiHeels Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Last Sunday I went to Guildford.I wanted to replace a pair of sandles with a smaller pair that I bought afew weeks ago. Since Barratts closed down there is only two good shoe shops Guildford now, Faith and New Look. I had a look on their web site and made a note of the shoes I liked in a size 9. This saves time when I get to the shops as I don,t waste time looking for shoes when the shoes are not made in my size. First stop was New Look,which has their shoe department up stairs. Which is good as your are more out the way. Had a look round, hoping the sales girl would come over to me. They did not, which meant I had to go over to the sale counter and ask one of the four sale girls . When I ask for a size 9 and it was for me all four of them gave out a small laugh. I was going to try them on. I got the impression that the sales girl did not want to serve me (to busy talking to one another) or know much about the stock New look carried. I left with out try any on. My next stop was Faith in a department store. Faith only have a small selection in this department store and took only afew minutes to look around but had to wait as the sales girl was talking to 3 or 4 blokes( must be friends with her.) Once the blokes left I was able to talk to the sale girl and she was able to find 1 pair of the 4 pair shoes on my list. I tried them on and had a little walk. These shoes fitted very well and are very comfortable. I was able to have a small chat with the sales girl and she said I walk in them very well and she said she wished she could walk in high heels. I bought the shoes and left. On the way back to the car I popped into another Faith outlet and tried on a pair of size 8 slingbacks as there were no size 9 shoes in stock. Did not buy them as the shoes were abit small for me but at least the sale girl were helpful. This was my first shoe shopping trip on my own in a near by town. I would do it again.

acesecret Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 LovesHiHeels it seems we are in the same boat when it comes to shopping for heels, i looked on their websites beforehand and im surprised you managed to find many in sz9 that you liked, as soon as you drop down to sz8 you get three times more choice, and then think "Maybe if i choose a slingback i can get into them" Theres so many more styles i liked that were only available at sz8 or under, and even when i get to the shop they have very few pairs above sz7, have you noticed any of this?

vector Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 LovesHiHeels, Great story. Glad to hear you were able to find somethig you liked. Please consider sending a letter to the manager of the New Look store about their poor customer service. There's no excuse for their behavior.

Stores do seem to have alot of size 9's on their web sites but when you get to the shop there is very little size 9's there. I think shops only keep 1 pair of size 9 in each style in stock. For a little while now I been looking for a classic black leather court shoe and I just can,t find them. Shops are happy to order shoes for and have them sent to your home address but as I keep telling these sales girls I need to try them on first.
