The Batty For You shoes have a hair raising... Read More

Some of you may have seen the vitriolic and abusive comments posted on Facebook reviews by an unhappy customer recently. We do try and keep all our customers happy but are realistic enough to realise that this will not always be possible when dealing with complaints. As a company, we do not have a blanket ‘one size fits all’ policy when dealing with complaints and prefer to treat customers as individuals and look at each complaint on its merits. In this instance the customer was offered a solution to his... Read More

In addition to dad, father’s day also celebrates close family members – husband, granddad, father-in-law, son, son-in-law, grandson, great-grandpa, uncle, brother and nephew, as well as godson, godfather and cousin or whoever else you can think of who is worth celebrating!. Many people might consider Father’s day to be ‘just another Hallmark holiday’ (many other brands are available!)… All of us here disagree because Father’s Day is more than a hallmark holiday – it’s a genuine reason to celebrate someone special. Father’s day this year is on Sunday 21st June in the United... Read More

Summer festivals are all we can think about right now! A pair of rain and mud proof shoes is an essential item for a summer festival, along with sandals for when the sun decides to shine. Probably the biggest festival of the season, Glastonbury officially kicks off on Wednesday 24th June this year (meaning there are only 20 days to go!). Really… who needs an excuse for a new pair of shoes? British summertime is hardly renowned for its reliable weather, so here are a couple of our top picks for... Read More

There are all sorts of wedding traditions and each family seems to have an alternative and exciting way of doing things. The phrase “something old, something new, something borrowed, something...

Watch our website as we try to get them photographed and out there for you as fast as we can.   After an often gloomy January and February, it’s great to start thinking about Easter breaks, spring days, the wedding season and of course summer holidays as...

The arrival of these two fabulous Japanese style tattoo print Dr Martens boots in our warehouse prompted all kinds of musing – once the oohs, aahs and “so that’s what I’m spending this week’s pay on” had subsided of course. It’s odd where a line of thought can take you.  Some of us older members of the team here (or seasoned and teaming with life experience as I like to call it) could remember songs with a Japanese theme to it like a Deep Purple number called WOMAN FROM TOKYO (1972)...
