    4 Stars I'm a sole man (size 13) 14/10/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Shoes displayed by size

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not as cheap as I thought

    I am a man ergo I hate shoe shopping. A universal constant we all accept, but in my case I have extra reason for despising this frequently put-off past-time. I have size 13 feet. My foot is almost a foot long! Just last week I was forced to mount another laborious trek into deepest Consumerville. Having put matters off for so long my current footwear was (literally) falling apart at the seams and I really couldn’t hold out much longer. I gambled that my remaining shoe leather would suffice to get me around the various shoe shops and to a suitable replacement. I set out on my pre-planned route ... more

    3 Stars Cheap designer labels, but keep the receipt 02/11/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great shoes at attractive prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I wonder if some of the stock are slight seconds

    I have to date had 3 shopping experiences in my local Brantano store. We have a largish store opened up in Marsh Barton industrial estate in Exeter. The store past seasons designer shoes and boots for children and adults, along with shoe care accessories. The shoes are all laid out on shelves and in pairs in shoe size (this is UK shoe size) and please be aware that the do not sell half sizes. This is a great shop to find great labels at discounted prices. You'll find a host of famous such as Clarks, Hush Puppies, Skechers, Rocket Dog, Nike and Reebok. Staff in the shop are very friendly and ... more

    2 Stars Dr. Brantano didn't read my mind! 11/09/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Some cheap prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages quite expensive, rude staff and shop very untidy

    Quite fascinated by the emotive advert which made reference to two of Europes finest psychologists Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. The advert shows how 'Dr' Brantano has discovered a "sling back synapse" in the brain which makes women go crazy for shoes. It goes onto explain that this 'synapse' is triggered by having to wait and not getting what they want. Therefore it describes that at Brantano shopping for shoes is an easy process as the shoes are arranged by size and in exact pairs to aid trying on. So you can imagine my excitement when we drove past the Brantano store in Newton Abbot. Having ... more

    4 Stars Brantano - the shoe shop with a difference 17/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Location, easy to find shoes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lots of cheap nasty shoes

    My three pet hates about shoe shopping are: * shoes not being available in the size I want * annoying shop assistants watching you while you try on shoes * having to make up a reason why you don't want to purchase a particular pair of shoes in order to get rid of said shop assistants Hence, it was with interest that I heard of Brantano Footwear. They're recently embarked on a new advertising campaign which prompted me to write this review. The distinguishing feature of the store is that all of the shoes are out on display so there's no need to ask shop assistants to go and get the shoes for ... more

    4 Stars I want thousands of shoes!!! 08/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Many shoes!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Im the sort of person that loves shoe's, I have about 15 pairs or more and I love going to buy shoes. I think its great as many shops do shoes in all sizes which makes it fair to everyone as they might look for shoes in their size and its there but as I love my shoes, I went to brantano store and I was on my way. I wanted to buy a lovely pair of boots and I went in their and it was not packed and was not much people in there and I wondered why but I just thought it was because barely anyone could see the store but I could but it was because of the price, It was really expensive in their but I ... more

    3 Stars Foot Fetish Heaven 09/08/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No waiting for shoes to be fetched

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bit souless

    Typically you will find Brantano located on out of town retail parks and its speciality is shoe sales. It adopts the strategy of having a large open floor space with all of the shoes arranged on displays in rows according to size so you will see the same style of shoes repeatedly dsplayed under size categories, the great thing about this is that both the left and right shoes are on display which menas that you can try them on then and there without havng to wait for a sales assistant to go and collect the other shoe for you and also if one size does not quite fit you are able to quickly get ... more

    1 Star The Shoe Shop Doesn't Fit For Me 08/04/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Overpriced, old stock, cold and clinical

    Where I live it has always been lacking in shops that do clothes and shoes so a few years back when it was announced that Brantano were opening a store you can imagine me excitement, and everyone elses. When it first opened, for the first week or so they had an offer on which I think was a 20% discount on all products. Customers flocked through the doors, myself includeed, and business looked really good. I purchased a brown suede bag which with the discount was a great bargain. As I didn't need any shoes at this time, I just had a quick glance at them. When I next needed some shoes, Brantano ... more

    2 Stars After Sales Service...... What Is That??? 10/05/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expecting Good After Sales Service

    The management in the Brantano store I visited could do with extra after sales service training!! I have used Brantano's in the past as the shop is conveniently located for me fortunately I won't be making this mistake again. After buying a pair of trainers and a pair of shoes (the trainers not being the cheapest of items) I had reason to return the shoes as the covering on the toe of the shoes was slightly marked. I know you're probably thinking "well kids will be kids" - but if you have a 13 year old daughter who is really "precious" about her shoes you will understand that in the 24hrs ... more

    2 Stars Blue Rince Brantano! 09/05/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages local

    Disadvantages Disadvantages price

    I really dont know why this shoe shop has been rated so highly. In my opinion is it well over priced and old fashioned. Brantano has a range of shops across the country, often in out of town shopping areas. They sell shoes/boots for men, women and children. They also sell accessories and hand bags. The shoes range from trainers to work shoes and party shoes (although theyre pretty old fashioned). They do a range of shoes to suit all budgets but the bottom end shoes are still overpriced for what they are. The shops are often large and airy with wide aisles for easy access. Shoes and boots are ... more

    1 Star Brantano Online 23/10/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Shop from home!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Failure to deliver, poor customer service

    I've used Brantano for a number of years as I've found that they're one of the few shoe shops that stock ladies shoes in size 10 - there's not a great deal of choice in size 10 but at least some are stocked. The last time I visited I didn't see any shoes, in my size, that I liked so I decided to have a look at Brantano's website, to see if there were any shoes I liked on there and order them online. I duly went on the website, found some shoes that I liked, that were available in my size and that were also in stock, ready to be dispatched. So I decided to order them and paid for them with my ... more
