Oliver Sweeney Shoes – are back in fashion at Exclusive Footwear

I launched Exclusive Footwear all the way back in 2005 on the back of the much famed and incredibly hard to find Oliver Sweeney Mens designer shoe brand… Oliver was designing shoes out of a little shoe shoe studio in Devon – I remember how hard I begged them to let me take the brand.. I wanted to sell them online..can you believe that… ONLINE – my goodness – we can’t let anyone sell them online.. how hard they resisted…!  So, eight years on and a few account managers later – here we are again.. excited and loving them.  Oliver Sweeney will be launched online at http://www.exclusivefootwear.com in about two weeks time when our NEW website goes live… keep an eye out for it – and if you are not a registered customer already – then it’s worth doing so because we will send you a little reminder when the new site is live… exciting times at Exclusive Footwear x 🙂 Frances x

Dubarry Boots – New boot launches – Stylish Additions

Dubarry Longford boots £335 at Exclusive Footwear

Thrilled to bits to see the new Dubarry boots launched this season – and half wishing that I’d waited with my Clare in Walnut for the new Dubarry Longford…buckles and fastenings – hmmm liking them ALOT… They’ve launched them in black and walnut – then also added to the stable (pardon the pun) a new shortie boot – again a bit more stylish called the Roscommon which is a new version of the Kildare.. liking them!!! I think Dubarry are definitely going to be the brand to watch out for next winter… Yes.. I’m clearly a BIG fan.
BTW my newly acquired Clare are amazing.. I paired them up with the cream Alpaca socks (£35 rrp) and have never been so comfortable or warm in any other pair of boots… I’m not sure why anyone should suffer wellies when they can save up and buy a pair of Dubarry and have them for the next 10 years..Got to be worth saving up for! See our full range of dubary online at http://www.exclusivefootwear.com – we also take telephone orders on 0191 2327610 or 01904 611588

Toe Fusion – wearing MBT’s can REALLY help you to walk again

MBT shoes for men and women

Deep breath…toe fusion..I’m seeing SOOOO many fused toes. Is it a new fashion? On large bone on the end of your foot that won’t bend?? Seriously it’s becoming so common these days there must be millions of you out there… and so – I know something that can really help. MBT’s shoes are great for many, many reasons but one of the key ones is that MBT Shoes can bend the foot for you… because of the curved sole unit there is no need for your foot to bend in any shape or form… Forgetting all the other amazing benefits – improved posture/toning/pain relief/ you can just get on with life and walk again with MBT. See our full range online at http://www.exclusivefootwear.com/shop/mbt_brand.html or call us on 01904 611588 and I wil take you through the benefits of MBT and make sure that you are buying the right thing for you. Exclusive Footwear are authorised stockists of MBT (be careful there are LOTS of fakes out there) and we have access to the WHOLE MBT stock list – so if there is a style that you want – let us know and we can get them for you… honestly don’t suffer in pain – if you haven’t tried MBT – believe me it will be the best £180 you have ever spent.

MBT Jambo – the MBT cunningly disguised as a “normal shoe”..

Jambo MBT in grey is a unisex shoe and is great for a casual weekend shoe – with a BOOST!

MBT Jambo is now in store and online at Exclusive Footwear (www.exclusivefootwear.com) at £120 this groovy little sneaker could quite happily pass for a “normal shoe” as it’s sole unit is so discreet. This MBT is in-fact classed as a Level 1 MBT so the impact is lower than lets say a Chakula or Ari (the Super MBT but that’s another blog..) It really is a weekend shoe with a hidden BOOST or for those of you who really do depend on the qualities of mbt (reduction of impact on joints etc) this could be a really nice casual alternative. The Jambo comes in a variety of colours – so if you want one we don’t have then please do ask – we have access to a live stock list at MBT HQ so we can check their stock availability any time for you. Call us if you need any MBT advice – as a wearer of 4 years – I can certainly guaruntee that they work! 01904 611588 – or try them in store at Exclusive Footwear – Newcastle or York.

Lelli Kelly NEW Season Girls Sparkle – Glam Little Misses Dolly Shoes

Well here they are at http://www.exclusivefootwear.com – a sign of brighter and better weather – the Lelli Kelly new season girls canvas dolly shoes stock has now arrived online. As glittery and glamourous as always – love’em or hate’em the Lelli Kelly shoes just fly of the shelves!!! Thanks to all of that lovely advertising and their make up gifts that little girls just LOVE…. I’m sure I’ve said this before, but I really did resist getting the brand in store – but now I’ve got it – you’ve got to admire these little girls shoes… Italian made, each bead and sequin has been hand-stitched – they wash really well in the washing machine and because of the removeable in-sole they just last and last – fitting wise… And.. the little princesses – well they just LOVE them… If you want to treat your little girl this spring/summer go for a pair of these. One note though and this is not me with a hard sell…they will fly out of the door and before we have any summer at all parents will be doing the rounds desperately looking for stock because everyone is sold out…get a pair sooner rather than later!

Denim and pink sparkles from Lelli Kelly
