Hello!

My fiance needs new plain black shoes for work that must be very comfortable and fairly reasonable, does anyone know a good shop in Girne or around?

Thanks!

One of the biggest selections and most reasonable prices, I have found to be Önders in Lefkoşa. Its on the main hospital (road), quite a way up. Big department store on the right, it sells everything!!!

There is a small shoe shop opposite the Dome Hotel (near the FX place) in Girne who had some well priced mens shoes. I bought some good hand made brogues from Turkey for about 90 YTL.

I think you've all been very 'casual' with your responses. Stop 'loafing' around or she'll 'boot' you all in to touch. )

Why did the shoelace miss the party?

Because it got tied up

What happened to the broken down sandal?

It got toe-d away

What happened to the accident prone shoe-shop owner?

He put his foot in it

If leather makes good shoes, what do banana skins make?

Good slippers

What happened to the Old Woman who lived in a shoe?

She got booted out

What did the tight shoe say to the loose shoe?

Have a nice trip

What did the plimsoll say to the stiletto?

Hi heels!

What do you call a rich sock?

Sock-cessful

What's a shoe's favourite seafood?

Jellied heels

Why is an old shoe like a thirsty dog?

They both have tongues hanging out

What do you call a shoe with a runny nose?

A tiss-shoe

Glad you got sorted NatAless I was also going to recommend the guy across from the Dome.



I know a few people who have gone to him and have been very happy. If you bring in a pair of shoes you already have and like, he will make you a pair the same

I used that guy opposite the Dome. He made me a pair of casual loafers a few years ago. Not bad quality either. Although the stitching came undone along the front I took them back and he soon restitched it.
