Welcome to the home of Feel Great Footwear, the place that prioritises comfort without compromising on style. Since 1971, we’ve been dedicated to creating a range of shoes that support every step of your journey - because when your feet feel great, so do you.
Our story began in York, where Catherine Paver turned a small idea into something big. Armed with a £200 bank loan (originally for a sofa!) and a passion for well-fitting stylish shoes, Cathy set out to create a business that puts comfort and quality first. Starting with sales at local village halls, her vision grew into a family-run company that now reaches customers across the UK and beyond.
We believe the right pair of shoes can totally transform your day. That’s why our collections are designed with care to meet a range of needs and tastes. From timeless comfort classics to contemporary, trend-led designs, every pair is chosen to combine quality, style, and support.
Whether you’re a fan of trusted brands like Skechers or Fly Flot, or you’re exploring our exclusive Relife range, we’re here to help you find footwear that works as well as it looks. With over 160 stores across the UK and Ireland, plus our online shop and catalogue, we’re proud to offer a shopping experience that’s as flexible as you need it to be.
As a family-run business, our values guide everything we do. We focus on providing honest, dependable service and footwear that exceeds expectations. From the beginning, we’ve believed in creating shoes that last and offering an experience that makes shopping with us enjoyable and easy.
Our Wide-Fit range is designed to give your feet the space they need whilst staying essentially stylish. From boots and slippers to trainers and smart shoes, every pair is designed for extra comfort and a perfect fit. Whether you're looking for the latest seasonal trends or timeless everyday essentials, our wide-fit designs ensure every step is effortlessly comfortable.
Caring about the planet is as important to us as caring about your feet. At our headquarters in Yorkshire, we’ve integrated sustainable solutions like solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and energy-efficient lighting to minimize our environmental impact.
In 2021, we became the first major UK shoe retailer to achieve Carbon Neutral International Certification, supporting reforestation projects like the Guanaré initiative in Uruguay. It’s all part of our mission to leave a lighter footprint for future generations.
We’re also dedicated to supporting communities through the Pavers Foundation, established in 2018 in honour of our founder. To date, the foundation has donated over £2 million to health, education, and community causes, ensuring that our success helps make a difference for others.
For over 50 years, we’ve focused on creating footwear that feels as great as it looks. Whether you’re shopping online or in-store, we’re here to help you find your feel-great fit - every time.
