badger Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 A friend of mine will be in England later this month. He is visiting from Africa. He would like to buy a pair of black knee boots in size 12. He must buy in person and pay cash. Can anybody give me the names, addresses, phone numbers or websites of good boot stores? The boots are for him, not his wife. He wants a nice 3 or 4 inch heel. Zipper or pull on. If you need more information, please let me know. Badger Everyone should wear boots!

xaphod Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Elephant shoes in London and Magnus seem like the best bets. They both have websites which you can find in Google. Xa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heelfan Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I think Xaphod means Elephantfeet of Brixton, South London. Magnus are in Chiltern Street, central London. Brantano (many branches) have chunky heeled kneeboots which normally go up to size 9 0r 10 maximum, but they tell me they will be going up to size 12 or higher for certain selected lines, so ask them at the counter. Also Evans Ltd. sometimes go up to size 12. Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xaphod Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 That's funny, the link came from the Sunday Times, Style section of only a couple of weeks ago. Could be that the author didn't bother to check the link. Xa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Can you verify if the address K Block Cobbold Road London NW10 9ST United Kingdom PHONE: 0208 451 0190 is right please? If that's o.k. can you inform what email address one can use? Maybe they should make a website update. Thanks in advance.

xaphod Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Robert, I phoned the number which is for the shoe store. The address is correct also. They said they were having problems with their web provider. They also said they were a warehouse, not a shop, but if people made an appointment, they could try on shoes at the warehouse.

Robert Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Thank you so much John. I bookmark the webpage and see if it is changed at the coming winter season (2004/2005). I will remember their telephone number when I'm in London again, then I can make an appointment. Thanks again!
