Blunts Shoes

My girlfriend, in desperate need of some new shoes decided to head into Blunts, on the Bearwood high street last weekend, but unfortunately found nothing to satisfy her ‘acquired’ taste.
Despite an extensive variety of shoes at her disposal, as well as an extremely helpful if not pushy member of staff, she found no joy.
The shoes on offer are much more sensible than the ones she was after, with schools shoes featuring prominently throughout.
In the area that is Bearwood, it isn’t surprising, with a large number of families and young children living nearby. The prices seemed relatively cheap, but it seems that If you are looking for something a bit more stylish, then this may not be the place for you.

The Blunts Shoes empire stretches across the West Midlands and have supplied the good people of this area with footwear for what feels like generations. The store front is noteable for it’s fifties stylings — don’t expect any new fangled cutting edge trends when you come here.
Inside the shop the traditional feel continues and thankfully extends to the polite, friendly service. There’s always a large selection available, taking in well established names with a long heritage such as Clarkes or for those of you on a tighter budget there’s more generic shoes available.
In conclusion, Blunts does it’s thing well. If your looking for traditional shoes at competitive prices, this is probably a good bet. However, if you’re looking for limited edition trainers or obscure skate shoes then you’re best off getting on the bus to town.

Blunts is a traditional shoe shop in the middle of Bearwood High Street. It’s been there since forever and as well as selling ‘sensible’ shoes from the Clarks and Hush Puppy ranges they also stock comfortable looking flats, spangly sandals, wellies, kids shoes, slippers, flip-​flops etc. Bargains can be found in the baskets outside but the best thing about it is the interior of the shop — where boxes and boxes of shoes are stacked with the names and sizes facing out — names like ‘Drum Beat’ and ‘Carousel Ride’ and my personal favourite ‘Dublin Streets’. They have a nice selection of wallets and purses and the people who work here are really friendly and helpful. They also have an online presence with shoes available via their ebay store.
