Friary Shoes

Back to School Appointments

We understand that buying your child’s new uniform can be stressful. We try to make your experience shopping for new school during the summer holidays as stress free as possible.

Here is what we do to try to make shopping for school shoes as smooth as possible.

We offer appointments between Monday 19th July – Saturday 14th August. You can book an appointment by calling the following numbers between 10 am – 5pm Monday to Saturday. You can still come in anytime before 19th July without an appointment as it will be quieter until then.

To book at our Lichfield Store- 01543 263443

To book at our Uttoxeter Store -01889-562400

We offer appointments between 10am -4pm and during these dates our stock levels will be at a good level to ensure you have a choice of styles for your child to try on. If you want to come in after 14th August although we will still have stock but obviously we will be very busy and so as the school holiday comes towards the end there will be less choice, so please bare this in mind.

You can still come to us without an appointment and we will still see walk -ins. However we will still be limiting the number of people in the store. This is so that we can give children and our staff the space to be able to fit the shoes correctly. This may mean that there will be a que outside the store at busy times.

We have a £2 measuring charge which is payable before we measure your child’s feet. If purchasing or ordering shoes from us this is then taken off the price of the shoes once purchased. This charge helps us serve our genuine customers more efficiently rather than spending time measuring for people who want to use us and then shop elsewhere.

*Please make sure your child is wearing socks for us to be able to measure. If your child doesn’t have any socks we won’t be able to measure on that day.

When you arrive at the store their will be a greeter on the door who will advise you of where to go, or if you haven’t got an appointment where to wait.

Our team here are friendly and approachable and will try their very best to make your experience with us a stress free as possible. Please be patient as we will get extremely busy but we will always do our best.
