Interesting places in Blackpool. Number 4.



There is a shoe shop in Blackpool that sells expensive footwear such as Church’s, Barker’s and Loake. A visit to this shop is always a joy as they also sell shoes by Mister of Spain. Misters shoes are extremely garish and gaudy and usually feature materials such as crocodile skin and diamante. Some have a Cuban heel and some have outlandish fancy tassles hanging from them. They are obviously aimed at the ‘showman’ who may be passing through the town with his cabaret and they are VERY expensive. Needless to say, Mister also do a roaring trade in Las Vegas (the town in Nevada not the amusement arcade on the prom). Darren and I are often asked to leave the shop when our tears of laughter start to soak the carpet.
