Comfy footwear |
69 The Pallasades Birmingham B2 4XJ United Kingdom |
This shop takes its name from Kendal, where the company had its first store in 1842 - a measure of its enduring popularity. Traditional ladies' footwear and handbags are what you'll find, though there is a limited men's shoe section. Black is the predominant colour, but brown and burgundy are other options. Not the most fashionable of shoe shops, admittedly, but there should be something to suit most price ranges. Review © 2007, Wcities |
