Leeza Shoe Palace

You can find Leeza Shoe Palace at G-9 on D B Gupta Road in Paharganj. If you’ve ever been to Paharganj, you know it’s a chaotic and busy place with people everywhere. Our shop is right in the middle of all that noise. We have shoes piled up everywhere you look. It’s a lot of inventory for a small space, so the boxes go all the way up to the ceiling. We spend a lot of our time climbing ladders to pull down the right size for someone. It’s a bit of a workout, honestly. We sell all kinds of footwear, from simple flip-flops to more formal shoes. The shop floor is always a bit dusty because of the street outside, but we try our best to keep it clean. We’ve been here for many years and we’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. We don't have any fancy sales tactics or marketing. We just put the shoes out and let people try them on. If they fit and the price is okay, they buy them. It’s a very simple way of doing things. We have a few mirrors scattered around and some old stools for people to sit on while they try things out. It’s a real, local shop with no frills. We just open the doors every morning and wait for the crowds on D B Gupta Road to start moving.
