Barratts shoes collapses

What? Have things got so bad that we have cut back on our shoe purchases.

Up to 5,450 British jobs are in jeopardy at Barratts and Priceless Shoes after creditors rejected a restructuring plan for the owner of the failed footwear retailers.

    Depends on how fast rents fall. If they fall quickly then most good shops will still be around.

    Simple self protection.
    He noticed the growing trend to shoe throwing and moved to put a stop to it.
    Find old lucky horse shoes instead?

  6. A pity as Barratts sold good shoes at reasonable prices.

    I suspect they have been undercut by all these 3-month-lease fly by night cheapie imported rubbish footwear operators that seem so prevalent nowadays all over the world and whose footwear seems to last about three weeks before the soles fall off. Remember folks, you really do get what you pay for.
