Do you believe that you have awkward feet? If so then we feel your pain! Take heart because you are not alone. Perhaps you believe that your feet are too big, too small, too wide or too narrow. Maybe you are bemoaning narrow heels or fallen arches and have struggled to find stylish shoes that are kind to feet. You are probably experiencing foot pain from time to time, if not all the time. Are your feet getting a raw deal?
The truth is that your feet may not be the issue. The real problem could well be your shoes and that is where we can help. At SoleLution we feature a diverse range of high quality, stylish yet affordable footwear that will really sweep you off your feet.
Nature has decreed that feet come in all shapes and sizes and so there are no such things as average or typical feet. Your feet are not awkward they are just uniquely yours. They must carry you for life and so those sole mates work extremely hard for you. Little wonder that they rebel from time to time and you end up feeling like you are wearing someone else’s shoes. If your feet are saying enough is enough then it is time to rethink your footwear.
The virtual fitting service while the shop is closed is fantastic, my daughter needed her first pair of shoes and Tanya was able to give us the reassurance we needed that the shoes fitted well. The website guidance for how to measure at home was easy to follow and Tanya came around the next day with a variety of sizes and styles to try. We now have a very happy girl who is extremely proud of her shoes! Thank you!

Fantastic, helpful service at this independent shop, I came away with exactly what I’d been looking for. So lovely to meet people so passionate about their business.

I booked an appointment for children's school shoes on a recommendation from a friend. The whole experience was quick and efficient, the assistant was friendly and helpful and there were no tears from anyone! I was expecting to have to pay more than, say, Clarks, but the price was competitive. Big thumbs up!

Love, love this shop. Finding kids shoes, especially for wide footed, non-school type shoes is a nightmare. So, to be recommended a solution (excuse pun) has been fantastic. Pricing is good and if lucky there are regular sales with a cheeky bargain in the mix. Fab customer service from Sarah and Louise today. Thank you!!

I purchased a pair of Joya trainers a week ago. They are the most comfortable trainers I have ever worn. The sales assistant took her time to explain the technology behind the Joya brand and different styles of the range and the benefits I would feel in my posture and particular in my back. A fantastic patient approach (I tried on lots of trainers) to sales and incredibly knowledgeable. I cannot recommend SoleLution highly enough and the Joya brand in terms of helping / easing / supporting my long standing back issues. A great all round service. Would highly recommend a visit.

Very pleased with this small company everything was excellent. Including a happy wife as the slippers were as she said. Absolutely brilliant. Packed well including a small business card thanking us for the order. Recommend SoleLution.

Animal print shoes are trending again in 2025 — and they’re bolder, comfier and more versatile than ever. Whether you’re after leopard print sandals, sporty animal print trainers, or boots with a wild twist, we’ve got the styles that are walking straight into your favourites list.
As Mother’s Day approaches, I find myself reflecting on the incredible influence my Mum (and Dad) has had on my life—both personally and in shaping SoleLution. It was nearly 20 years ago that she made one simple yet life-changing observation:
"There hasn’t been a shoe shop in Portishead for 25 years."
That was it—the spark that set everything in motion.
From Stone Age moccasins to today’s $100 billion global footwear industry, the evolution of shoes is full of fascinating - and quirky - moments. Let’s lace up and take a quick stroll through the history of shoe design…
