What the retailers had to say: “Once again the weather has had great impact on the type of sales. Adult Sales appear to have picked up a bit which is very encouraging – mostly from the ‘older generation’ and
through referrals from local podiatrists. Children’s sales remain disappointing! Parents are holding back and going against the advice we offer, ‘waiting’ for the end of the school year. Let us hope this will lead to a ‘bumper’ Back to School. Footfall in the town is still an issue. We are working tirelessly to try and promote the town and the businesses.“ Karen Little, Haswell Shoes, Nuneaton.
“At last things have started to pick up, if we have good weather we have a much better day, but if goes back to cold and damp it stops the customers coming out. Tamaris has continued to perform well, Gabor has had a much better month, mainly on the low pumps and casual loafers. The dressier side for weddings hasn’t got going, but I think this could be due to the fact people are waiting to see how the weather looks before committing to shoes or sandals. The summer boots have continued to perform well from Mustang at a £50 to Mjus at £99. This is an area I think will grow for next year as customers are wearing boots so much of the year. “ Andrew Marshall, Strolling4Shoes, Cumbria
