The Pied Piper

The Pied Piper Friendly local Footwear Store for children. This has proved invaluable during the troublesome times of 2020/21.
(343)

Established in the Summer of 2009, The Pied Piper opened to meet the needs of local parents seeking something different in the way of footwear for their children. Catering for boys and girls from birth to pre-teens, we quickly became proud stockists of leading brands from home and abroad such as Start Rite, Geox, Primigi and Lelli Kelly. We are known principally for our outstanding range of Back t

o School shoes and Winter Boots, many of which are waterproof (as well as beautiful!), but also stock the most gorgeous Spring and Summer shoes in the region. The Pied Piper also stocks foot-related accessories such as school socks, shoe labels, insoles and other shoe care products. Our staff are either trained in shoe-fitting by Start Rite or Hush Puppies or have undergone our own in-house training - and equally important is the fact that they all love children and you can ensure your children will always be treated with respect and patience in our store. Summer of 2013 saw the development of our website www.piedpipershoes.uk which allows parents to view a sample of our collection before visiting for a fitting. We also run a successful ‘virtual fitting’ programme called ‘Phone and Fit’ where we ‘fit’ your child based on our own notes and measurements which you supply to us. We will never sell blindly online since your children’s feet are our number one priority and we need to see, feel and touch them before we let you take a pair of shoes home.

TOP TIP

With less than a week to go before school starts, and with so many little ones going to wear school shoes for the very first time, now is the time to get them on and get those soft summer feet used to them.

New leather shoes need to be worn so they can start to mould to your child's feet in time for a full day's wear from next week. Even just an hour around the house each day will help - get their school socks on, shoes on and let them potter about in them.

Their feet (and their heels!) will thank you next week! 🤗

Calling all girlies still needing a size 13 school shoe - we may have overestimated how many of these we'd need and we have a LOT of pairs left in this size...😅 We may be low in some sizes now but certainly not in a chunky soled Lelli Kelly with the most magical charm of all time, which changes colour in the sun by the way...😉😍 Plus they come with bows AND a little LK bracelet for good measure.

£62 and, as with all LK shoes, they're fantastic 👌🏼

For our incredibly patient customers awaiting Froddo and Ricosta deliveries - they are now scheduled for tomorrow 🥳🥳🥳 I think international and UK couriers have been on a mission to push me over the edge this summer 🫠 but we soldier on and we WILL sort you all out in good time!

Imagine living in London but choosing your first school shoes in Dumfries, Scotland 🥰 Lovely to have you again Rafferty!...
