Startrite are lovely, also try and independant shoe shops nearby, I often find the service second to none.

Startrite?

best bet is to find an independent shoe shop, or a department store, that stocks several different brands as you're more likely to find a style that fits properly.

independent.

We have a shop called shuzu in our town, kicked Clarks by the curb ages ago.

Shuzu stock all the big names, startrite, kickers, shox, geox etc.

Excellent customer service and after care.

we are spoiled for choice in our town with 2 continental shoe shops - pricey but shoes are worn every day!

We went to a local independent shop, and they took a lot of time fitting DD2's shoes properly. They had Clarks (which we bought, they were the best fit), and Startrite, which I liked the look of but weren't quite right.

DD1's last shoes came from Brantano. They had Hush Puppies which looked good and comfy, but again, not a good fit so we got Clarks again. I have no idea how good they are at fitting as I took my own trained shoes fitter that time (my mum!).
