Lets talk about sandals...

Let's talk sandals... I love the sunshine and it is great to see everyone enjoying it but let's remember our feet!

A recent interview I did for BIPC Newcastle as part of their High Street Heros Instagram series and my top piece of advice...

The best piece of business advice I’ve been given is ‘you do you’. As someone without formal training in the industry, I suffered terribly with imposter syndrome & sometimes still do.

Finale Shoes Blog Autumn/Winter Photoshoot

Photo shoot for the Autumn/Winter collections

The shoes and boots always look lovely in the shop but it’s nice to have images of them on feet and in different locations too, this helps people imagine how they will fit into their wardrobes and lifestyles. So every season we do a photo shoot, this is one of these things that sounds very glamorous but is actually something we spend ages planning and is pretty hard work but very worth it when you get the shots at the end!

Who do we buy our shoes from?

We buy from a variety of different brands, this is important to us because it means we have a wide range and lots of choice for you; our customers.
