Visits to the Holy Land: Office Shoes London

We are returned from our all too brief sabbatical in the UK. And we bring with us tales from that Mecca for the shoe lover, Office.

We stumbled upon Office shoes whilst wandering the narrow streets of Covent Garden, and were smitten instantaneously; purchasing a pair of brilliant zebra print trainers. It seemed impossible for our adoration to grow…..but grow it did, exponentially, when we discovered The Office sale shop on Tottenham Court Road. This is truly a place of bliss.

With shoes starting at £1 (£5-£10 being the average price) a shoe fiend (like me) could easily spend days in this sale shop. As it is, we spent nearly three hours, emerging from the glass doors clutching our shopping bags, each filled with several new pairs of shoe love.

All that being said, here are some Office greatest hits for your enjoyment. Find The Office sale shop in the flesh at: 6-17 Tottenham Court Road, London W1T (unit 6a).

Because Office is literally chock full of fabulous footwear and because we get a deep sense of longing whilst gazing at page after page of their beautiful shoes, we’re featuring only a select few of our favourite styles. Beginning with, The Androquai flat. Yes, this is the trainer N bought day one in London. They’re quite amazing:

Next we’re in love with these flats called enigma. A friend of N’s in London bought a pair and she loves them, we’re taking her word on the comfort level, but they certainly look fabulous!

Thirdly, in our almost daily perusal of the office website, we saw and fell in love with these amazing boots (called Kristy). They’re on sale (only £30), but unfortunately are also only left in a UK size 3 (US 5). Still, they’re gorgeous.

Last, but certainly not least, we have a real shoe treat. While in the sale shop we found these size 40 ankle boots. Clearly they are the most amazing shoes anyone over here at The Shoe Closet has seen in a long while, and if they had fit, someone would have surely bought them. However, they remain on the shop floor waiting for a loving home:

Ah, Office. Nobody does it better.
