Advantages: Lots of them about, big ranges, attentive staff

Disadvantages: Better cheaper shoes around

As a self confessed shoe-a-holic I am familiar with most shoe shops on the planet! Dolics used to be very popular when I was at school for shoes, it was the place to go, over the past years I have been increasingly disappointed with what they have had to offer in comparison to other retailers which have not only caught up with what they have to offer, but taken over on many fronts.

Dolcis always display their shoes well, having them spaciously laid out so you get a good look at everything and they are all grouped accordiny to type, boots, going out shoes, work shoes, casual slobby shoes, you name it they have ranges. I do admit to still going in and checking out the ranges, but the number of purchases i get are less frequent. I cannot put my finger on it exactly, but some of their shoes look like they are trying to be "cool", but just don't cut it,looking a bit frumpy. There are times when I think wow, but not so often nowadays. What also had detracted from Dolcis for me is that the shoe prices have escalated and faith, which I see as having a much better selection and sense of style are actually cheaper and also they give a student discount, which is always good news, whereas Dolcis are not student friendly yet.

Overall, it is worth a look, but try faith instead as you are much more likely to get great shoes.
