Buying Shoes As A Christmas Gift & Christmas Tradition

Here at CITYWALK we think that gifting a pair of shoes is a fantastic last minute gift that anyone, from family to friends will love.

When picking out shoes as a Christmas gift it’s important to think about the person you are buying them for.
