Shoe Zone said sales were up almost a third over the past year as it bounced back from months of closures during lockdown.

The discount retailer said revenues for the year to October 1 were £156.2 million compared to £119.1 million the previous year when stores were forced to shut for 16 weeks.

However online sales, which grew during the pandemic, were down more than 13 per cent to £30.6 million. They now represent around one-in-six Shoe Zone sales.
