Step N Style Footwear Store

Our shop is right by the New Market on Railway Station Road, specifically at Office No. 1. Being so close to the station means there’s always a crowd of people walking past our door. We sell shoes and sandals, mostly just practical stuff that people need for their daily lives. The shop isn't very large, so we have to stack the boxes all the way to the ceiling sometimes. It can be a bit of a puzzle trying to find the right size when someone asks for it. We spend a lot of time sweeping out the dust that blows in from the street. The noise from the trains and the market is something you just get used to after a week. We don't have any fancy sales tactics. If you like a pair of shoes, you buy them. Most of our customers are just people passing through on their way to or from the train. We’ve been in this spot for a good while. It’s a handy location for us. Sometimes the door sticks because of the humidity, but we just give it a good push. We try to keep a variety of styles in stock, but it’s hard to predict what people will want from one month to the next. It’s just me and one other person most days. We keep it simple and just focus on the shoes. Sometimes we stay open later when the trains are delayed and people are waiting.
