One of my colleagues, Dena, is getting married to Michael in 5 weeks, and we all know that organising a wedding is chaotic and stressful. However, we had a bit of a giggle this morning at my brainstorm!
In her quest to kit out the men in their suits, Dena has found some really smart Ted Baker shoes for her fiance. Smart, black, lace up, leather dress shoe...but at £75 (in the sale)it is alot to pay for one day! Then I remembered that Start Rite have 2 new School Shoes in their range called Parka and Brit Pop.... and Parka is almost identical to the pair Dena had put away in Ted Baker! (But the Start Rite shoes are about £40 cheaper!)
Start Rite have really taken the fashion and trends into account with their designs this year, and I can see Parka and Brit Pop being massive sellouts for Start Rite this Back to School season. Plus, they go up to a size adult UK 9 - so ideal as a dress shoe for guys too!
Dena is taking the Start Rite Parka home to try on her husband to be, lets hope they fit!
The new Start Rite school shoes will be available to puchase in our store and online from July.

I took this morning off, it was nice to have a lie in! But I'm glad I rushed back into work, because I got to meet James, our handsome new Geox sales rep!!
We've already had a look at the designs for Spring / Summer Geox 2011, and have made an appointment with James for next month to order this collection. Even though it would fall on my day off, that is a meeting I don't think i'll be missing, ha ha!

Which will contain the usual boys and girls Geox trainers, plus boys Geox school shoes styles William and Savage. Plus, the Geox winter boots will arrive after the Back to School season.

Welcome back to the Dinky Shoes blog. Sorry we have been away for so long.
The Dinkys girls had fun last night, taking a trade stand at a uniform night at a local school. We took samples of boys and girls Start Rite School Shoes in our range, preparing parents for the inevitable shoe shopping struggle in the Back to School season.
We struggled to take the enormous Start Rite stand to and from the car as it must have weighed the same as Liz and I together! I wasn't entirely sure the tressle table would hold up!
We were informed that our Start Rite display, and our entire School Shoe presentation looked very professional. Compliments for some of the Start Rite School Shoes even came from another well known brand who was displaying at the same night. Between heaving the Start Rite stand back and forth, rushing out for steak during the speeches, and the friendly banter, a fun night was had.
Brand New Start Rite School Shoes will be available from July 2010 at Dinky Shoes.

Well, half term is upon us and we have been so busy I have not had the chance to keep our blogging up to date.
We are expecting a busy half term, and have accepted deliveries of our some of our S/S 10 collections, including Naturino, Lelli Kelly, Converse and Gabor, plus others. The entire Spring /Summer range isn't quite in yet but we are accepting deliveries everyday.
Although we've been told the Lelli Kelly adverts aren't on the TV yet, we have received some of our lovely Lelli Kelly collection from Italy. As usual, the beautiful canvas pumps are covered in their trademark sequins and beads, to make your feet sparkle!!
My personal favourite Lelli Kelly is Ibisco, a vibrant pink and green pump with two-tone sequins and a large peach sequinned flower detail on the front. This Lelli Kelly is great for wide feet and has an elasticated gusset.
This year the Lelli Kelly come with a make up mobile phone, which contains eyeshadow and lipgloss to make your face sparkle too!
They are available to buy online at www.dinkyshoes.com

Good News here at Dinky Shoes- well, good news if you're a size 13 feet and you like Angulus Boots!!
After placing it on hold for a customer, we have today been told that she doesn't want it- So we have a red lace up Angulus boot for sale on our website, this style sold out almost immediately and we have since had many many telephone calls asking if we have this lace up Angulus boot.
I believe that Angulus have been using this boot in their advertising campaign, and it came in lots of different colours, including green and purple, but we decided to stock this Angulus style in the vibrant red colour.
Its really unusual Angulus boot, with chunky beige lace up the front, like a boxing style boot. In the usual Angulus style they are made from beautiful soft leather, and have a wide toe and stitch down crepe sole unit.
This is the last pair in this style of Angulus we have in stock so, if you are a size 32 (13) then don't miss out!
These, and other Angulus are available at dinkyshoes.com

We've had another delivery of our Autumn/Winter 09 Geox trainers! Hurray! After weeks of to-ing and fro-ing, and grumpy calls to Italy, we have now received some more of our Geox order. We have a big long waiting list for the Geox trainers, so we are glad that we have had some more, as its been Geox mad around here!
Particularly boys Geox has arrived, with some really gorgeous and practical styles for this season. One style that I think will be very popular will be Geox Staff, which reminds me of a Nike Dunk Lo or a skater shoe! It goes up to a 39, so I quite fancy getting myself one in a 37, ha ha!
This delivery of Geox has tended towards browns and khaki, which I suppose is a good colour for autumn/winter (won't show the dirt) as boys will be boys. To buck the trend we have had a couple of funky coloured Geox boots arrive, one in beautiful red leather and the other in camel nubuck leather- both great for wider fitting feet.
Also in this delivery are 3 styles of girls Geox, including pink Geox and purple Geox; they are not on my website today but will be tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled.
Don't wait becuase they are flying out of the shop...visit us at www.dinkyshoes.com to secure your pair!
