After all the lead up to preparing the shop, I cannot believe that it’s already been over 4 weeks that we’ve been open. I’m happy to report that the month has gone better than anticipated, which is fantastic. It is an indescribably good feeling to be able to fit fellow glamazons out there with stunning size 12 and 13 shoes. This goes double for women with larger calves who have snapped up a lot of our wide calf boots in stock. It’s so lovely to see their faces when they zip up a beautifully made leather boot (with NO elastic around the calf!) and pronounce that this is the first time they have ever been able to do this. In their lives. Call me shallow, but it’s a damn good feeling to provide a shoe shop where women can shop for shoes and boots and not feel out of the ordinary.
It has also been lovely to cater to the locals who up until now have not had a dedicated shoe shop in the shopping strip. This has also had the result of a bit of a re-think in our product offerings. Currently our smallest size is 8 but this will be moving down to a 6 by spring in order to encompass the local traffic, many of whom are 6s and 7s. I don’t think this compromises the Glamazon brand at all as we will always be true to our ‘beautiful shoes for bigger feet’ credo and have our sizes go up to at least a 13, and possibly higher if the demand is there. We will never let our glamazons down!
