Kolkata Fancy Shoe House

We are located on Madhusudan Banerjee Road over in Birati. The name is Kolkata Fancy Shoe House, but it’s really just a regular shop for regular people. We have stacks of cardboard boxes reaching all the way up to the ceiling. It can be hard to reach the top ones without a ladder, which we keep behind the counter. Birati is a crowded place, especially around this particular road. People are always walking by and looking at what we have in the window. We try to keep the shoes organized by size and type, but it gets messy quickly when we are busy. We sell all sorts of things, from simple rubber slippers to more formal shoes for weddings. People just want something that fits well and doesn't fall apart after a month. We sit on small wooden stools and help people try things on their feet. It’s a lot of bending down all day long. My back usually feels it by the time we close. The lighting inside isn't the brightest, but it's enough to see what you are buying. We don't have a website or a big staff. It's just a couple of us working here. We talk to the customers about their day or the terrible traffic on Madhusudan Banerjee Road. It’s a local place through and through. Most people who come in live just a few streets away from the shop. We like the community here.
