North Shoes

North Shoes North Shoes is a family run retailer selling quality footwear in the latest styles. It is believed that it was his wife Sarah who instigated the business.

North Shoes was founded in 1876 by William North, a boot maker from Haconby, a small village just outside Bourne, Lincolnshire. She saw the property for sale whilst visiting the market in Bourne and proposed they sell shoes as well as make them. Boots were made on the premises until 1914 when demand became too high for the 12 employed boot makers and boots had to be sourced elsewhere. North Shoes,

under the guidance of William North's great great grandson James, now has the original store in Bourne as well as two other shops located in Peterborough and Stamford. The north shoes website www.northshoes.co.uk has become the fourth shop, reaching out to a global audience. Despite the expansion of North Shoes, the ethos of the business remains the same, quality footwear with honest dedicated customer service for all. North Shoes prides itself on being a children’s fitting specialist with staff trained to the highest standards. It hosts a generous range of width fittings and brands, to include Clarks, which has been part of the product range since the turn of the 20th century. Our page is a great way to connect with our community and we are always happy to hear feedback and positive comments.
