Welcome to Friary Shoes

To all our customers, 

You no longer need to book an appointment for measuring your children's feet for new shoes? 

We do have restricted numbers in the store so there may be a small wait.

The latest we can do a Childs foot measure is 4.30pm

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Our opening times are 10-5 Monday to Friday and 9.30-5pm Saturday. We are closed on Sundays.

*Please be aware that we do not offer a free measuring service. 

There is a £2 measuring charge which you will be able to pay at the till before we measure the children’s feet. Once we have fitted your child’s shoes and you are happy to purchase them the £2  will be taken off the price of the shoes. If you decide not to buy the shoes on that day the receipt for the £2 measure is valid for 28 days.

Friary Shoes was established in 1904. It has been in the same family over 4 generations.  

It is currently owned by husband and wife team Adam and Tracey Lumb, who are passionate about the footwear industry and strive to be the best independent footwear retailer in the midlands.  

Being an Independent Family business we pride ourselves in creating an enjoyable shopping experience to ensure our customers keep coming back to us.  We are not a multi-national chain. We are a local small business and we are passionate about what we sell.

We are able to stock a wide range of brands and styles offering a good quality value footwear for the whole family under one roof. We are proud to be independent, it means we can listen to our customers and their needs. We have a close relationship with our suppliers and again value their advice when buying products.

We have two stores based in Lichfield and Uttoxetter in Staffordshire.
We currently have over 28 experienced staff and stock a wide range of footwear to meet family needs.

We want to advise you on what to expect once you come to visit us.

If you are coming into store with your children please ensure they are wearing socks.

We cannot measure or fit child’s shoes without their own socks.

We will have a greeter on the door to explain our new measures to keep you and our staff safe. 

We will be limiting the amount of customers to a maximum of 30 in our Lichfield store so please only a maximum of 2 adults per famliy.

We have hand sanitiser at the front of the store and in our children’s department which will be available to use.

We ask if possible not to pick up shoes on display if you need anything our staff will be on hand to help.

Our staff will be wearing  visors or face masks and sanitise hands after every customer. 

We do take cash along with debit or credit cards payments.

We really appreciate your continued support and want to reassure you that we are taking all these measures for safety of our customers and staff.

Looking forward to seeing you all very soon 🤞
