Precious Soles 171 Darkes Lane, Potters Bar EN6 1BW

"Awful. My little girls visit for her first measurements and shoes was absolutely ruined by the very rushed inpatient lady who made her cry! Fake, abrupt, rude, told her off. Didn’t even have any shoes at all in her size-wouldn’t have bought them anyway and would never go back. I was so upset for my precious little daughter’s experience that I went home I’m tears."

"My grandson has hypermobility which affects the way he walks, and runs, etc, so we have sought the brilliant services here. All the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced in fitting and advising about feet, and footwear. Excellent."

"I never write reviews but I was so impressed today that I felt I must show my appreciation. I’ve used this shop over the years for both my children and latterly myself to buy a pair of trainers to walk a marathon. I have always found everyone very helpful. Today I brought my mum to see you, we did not have an appointment but we’re seen very quickly. The lady we saw was kind and extremely knowledgeable. Even though the shop became quite busy we didn’t feel rushed. We were there for over an hour. My mum is very active but recently has been struggling with her mobility. The lady identified the problem just by seeing her walk and the fact she is now moving more comfortably has made her so happy. My son and dad could immediately see the improvement in her. I can’t thank you enough."

"We had such a wonderful experience today buying shoes for my hyper mobile toddler. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and professional, they showed so much care and gave us as much time as we needed. The store is covid safe, with guidelines followed perfectly as well as all surfaces, seats and measuring guides cleaned between customers. I know we are in safe hands when we shop at precious soles."

"My son’s right leg is anatomically different to his left, and currently around 4.5 cm shorter than his left one. He’s worn shoes adapted with raises for many years. August 2020 he was needing new shoes for returning to school. Precious soles worked very hard to find him a pair that fitted well and stayed firmly on his feet given the prescription for raising the right shoe that we had. They also helped me and my son see shortcomings in the way the trainers he was wearing had been raised, leading to them, in fact, being very unstable. I chose to use the Precious Soles’ service for raising the new school shoes. The work was superior in functional quality and in appearance to all previous raises my son has had in the last 5 or 6 years at least. During the Autumn term, my son walking through waterlogged fields to and from school, the Precious soles shoe raise needed no repair; all previous ones have needed at least one re-gluing over the winter months. Now, February 2021, the raise on the Precious Soles shoes remains very solidly attached and looks as good as new (shown in the attached photo)."
