Solent Shoes

I would like to express my delight at getting my 92 year old mother sorted with sandals and winter shoes. Amanda was so patient and certainly has an incredible knowledge of selling customers the correct shoes. Myself and my daughter will be returning to this amazing shop with a fantastic selection of shoes and accessories Thank you so much

An off chance visit to this shop last year was made with little expectation of finding suitable shoes in a small shop in Portchester. How wrong I was. I was met by a very enthusiastic lady with excellent knowledge as to her stock and customer requirements. It did not take long for her to produce shoes which have proved to be some of the most comfortable that I have worn.Today when passing the shop my wife noticed an excellent choice of sandals, many at sale price. Again excellent,enthusiastic and knowledgeable service so that my wife was soon the proud possessor of a new pair of sandals. I was tempted to seek new shoes for myself. Again new shoes which fully met my requirements were found. This is a shop that I cannot recommend too highly for quality of stock and for a proprietor who is a pleasure to visit. Thank you

Have to say that this shoe shop is probably the best I've ever visited. I have awkward small but wide feet and shoes to fit are as rare as hen's teeth.The Customer Service was brilliant and the sales lady did not give up and found a pair of shoes that fitted perfectly. Also she was happy to order in two pairs of boots for me to try in my size.Can't recommend this shop enough - a real pleasure to visit.PS There's also a free car park just around the corner which makes life so much easier.

Excellent personal service. Knowledgeable, helpful and friendly assistant who helped my 83 year old Mum find a nice pair of comfortable shoes for her swollen feet. Mum was thrilled with the shoes. Lovely shop with very pretty decor. Easy to find. Free parking down the road in portchester precinct car park.

Amanda was lovely and very helpful in helping me look for a suitable pair of shoes for my problem feet. I would not hesitate to recommend this business to anyone looking for some comfortable stylish shoes, and great customer service!

Solent Shoes is excellent.Lots of lovely footwear, accessories & choice from a local, independent retailer who always provides a great, friendly service.A brilliant shop for gift ideas too.Highly recommended.

Excellent service from the proprietor: Amanda. The hospital podiatrist recommended a particular style of shoes for mum. I was initially going to order them online and direct and used the measuring chart from the catalogue. However decided to visit an official and local stockist to try them on and make sure. Thankfully we did this and avoided a lot of hassle by going to Solent Shoes. Amanda measured mum’s feet properly and we found they were different to my DIY measuring efforts and ordered them in. We went back this weekend for the 2nd visit and it transpired that this style was never going to work. The fronts were fine but mum has small ankles and there was too much room at the back. Amanda suggested an alternative and well received style instead that still met the required aims. I was so impressed with the professional and friendly service that I bought a pair of stylish and comfortable suede slippers for myself too. I also think that the prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the products. Thanks again for your help and thoroughly recommend this firm.

Due to my large foot size I wasn't expecting much success when I visited Solent Shoes. I am pleased to say I left very happy having found a pair of shoes to fit!! Very refreshing to have someone willing to serve and in such a relaxed and patient manner. After this experience I was happy to return with my husband who hates shopping! The relaxed, friendly and helpful attitude of Amanda led to another happy customer and a pair of shoes for my husband which he is really happy with as they are comfortable and fit well. There is also a lovely range of original and quality accessories in the shop which were very tempting and great for gifting. It was well worth the journey over!!

What a great place if you have problem feet like me. The lady was so helpful with measuring my feet, finding shoes for me to try on, finding what I needed and ordering the shoes that will fit me. She put me so at ease as I hate my feet and made me feel good. Thank you!
