Shuropody in Coventry city center is to close

A specialist shoe store in Coventry is to close. Shuropody, based in West Orchards, has posters in its front windows saying the store is having a ‘closing sale’ with up to 50 per cent off footwear.

The store stocks a range of comfortable footwear that has been designed and developed by senior podiatrists to ensure maximum foot health care. Brands include Rieker, Josef Seibel, Strive and more.

Shuropody includes “highly trained” staff who help customers choose the “best” footwear. As the company is the largest podiatry business in the UK, they have fully qualified HCPC registered Podiatrists or FHPs in store to advise you on your foot care issues.

The news comes after the retailer entered administration in December 2022 and was sold to a subsidiary of BAAJ Capital. The company currently has 39 stores across the UK but has experienced recent closures in Salisbury and Harrogate in May 2024.

Shuropody Coventry has a 4.2 star rating on Google reviews with many positive customer experiences – and will be missed. One customer said: “Absolutely wonderful place, excellent customer service, staff always friendly and willing to help. I’ve been back a few times and never had a problem.”

Annie Field agreed and added: “Very impressed with the prompt and professional service I received. My feet feel very comfortable. Very attentive staff. The treatment area allows a good degree of privacy for clients just browsing through store.”

It has not yet been confirmed when the Coventry store is set to close.
