Re: Shoe Shops in Sheffield Et
Oh that's a bold move in today's retail market for a niche trader.
Will give them a visit - I hope they are going to be plugged on other forums!
Meanwhile mail ordered the last pair of size 9 Highlanders from elsewhere though there's always something you can spend your money on!

It is but they have there internet business running along side so they are not totally reliant on sales through the shop.
Re: Shoe Shops in Sheffield Et
Absolutely. Compares favourably with CCC or whatever they are now called planning to open large numbers of new shops on borrowed money and when you try to crank up their website it doesn't work.
The smaller retailer in this market and the service they offer has been muscled off the pitch to a large extent by the big dogs like CCC and Blacks (ho hum) but the internet can give the more astute small retailer the chance to fight back at minimal cost.
Well that's tonight's analysis time to go home
Good luck to the new shop. I shall certainly pop down as soon as they are open.

The shop is now open and is well worth a look. I know they hope to have an 'Official opening' in a few weeks and are working on getting a celeb of the MM world to do the honors.
I was there this morning and was surprised by the amount of footware they had. Inc Road
They also had the plasma screen on showing footage from that infamous "Skyline" race.
I've attached a link to their news letter as it has some pictures of the shop and lists some of the brands.

Good luck to them, I hope it works.
I discovered them a year or two back at a local event in the peak district and have come to trust their advice implicitly. I have tried all the alternatives in the sheffield/Nottingham area + many in the Lakes and generally have few complaints about most of them but have found that accelerate just have that bit extra fell running specific knowledge that gives them an edge.
