With so many of us now regularly shopping for shoes online, it's easy to forget that older, more traditional footwear stores still exist. But they can still be found in many towns and cities throughout the land. Christian Louboutin Ambertina 150mm So how are they surviving?

The only way Christian Louboutin Mago 160mm Blue to find out was to take a trip to a local store. It was probably my first visit to a shoe shop of this nature for around seven or eight years. I was interested to see how busy it would be, who was shopping there and how much it had changed since my last visit.

As I approached the window at the front Christian Louboutin Nutria 120mm of the shop, it was soon clear that things hadn't changed very much at all. Things were much as they were a decade ago. In fact, the thought crossed my mind Christian Louboutin Pigalle Plato 120mm Black that little had probably changed in the last 30 years.

The available shoes were all lined up on shelves. Never in pairs though - there was always one of each type of shoe, in each size, on display. This means that you have to ask a shop assistant to get Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Sling 150mm Nude/White you a second shoe from the store room out the back. It's a strange system but one that obviously makes sense to somebody, somewhere.

What about the experience of being in the store? It was suprisingly busy, although not crowded with as many people as it might have been years ago. It was, however, still difficult to attract the attention of an available shop assistant. But it must be said that the service was good Christian Louboutin Bruges 120mm Black and friendly too.

Maybe it's that high level of service that keeps people coming back here. Some might imagine that the prices are low too, but it was hard to know one way or the other. That's one of the many problems when shopping in this way - you can't compare Christian Louboutin New Simple Pump 120mm Dark Grey prices easily.

My experience suggests that traditional stores continue to make sales based on their service levels and that they're likely to attract people who don't have internet access.
