Any recommendations on where to get a really good quality pair of business shoes, all I seem to have around here are burtons and their footwear barely lasts a few weeks.

My Marks & Spencer shoes for work have lasted ages. You can spend a load of money on decent shoes, these weren't cheap but could have spent a lot more in the 'higher end' stores.

Try an independant shoe shop and you'll get good quality. My husband buys Loakes shoes, and Trickers. John Lewis sell good shoes as well.

but check the materials and make sure they're suitable for the amount of walking you do...I spent £80 on a pair of decent shoes and had to have the sole and heel replaced after 9 months!
