Jones Bootmakers

Bit of a Jones fan. It is not the cheapest place in the world to buy shoes, but what you do get is good quality and long lasting.
I first discovered Jones about 4 years ago. Shoes tend to rip my delicate feet to shreds so I tend to avoid shoe shopping — its all about where the seams are at the heels.
I discovered I could get lovely shoes with leather insides, soft inside heels with non raggedy seams and for once, my feet were not shredded. Since then I’ve flirted with Kurt Geiger and Duo, but I still return to my first true shoe love.
Sales can be decent and staff know their product which can be rare these days. Just got boots, recommended by a staff member as I was looking for boots to zip up — my calf muscle is solid after training so skinny boots don’t fit. And she made me feel better by telling me the boots I had tried and failed to get up my legs were ‘the skinniest in the shop’ rather than just normal sized. So good that the girl next to me asked which boots had been recommended as she (as a runner) had the same issues as me.
So Jones, I can’t believed you’ve not been Unilocaled till now. You’ll never do the sparkliest shoes but for great basics, high quality shoes and boots, I still love you!
