We have a wide selection of shoes for Men and Women.
Interestingly, the York store stands on an old Viking settlement which is now a tourist attraction (the Yorvik centre). It was unearthed when the Coppergate Shopping Centre was built here in the late 70s, yielding over 40,000 Viking artefacts including the famous ‘York Helmet’ - the best preserved piece of Anglo-Saxon craftsmanship ever to have been discovered! With a prime focus on top quality customer service, the independent store which opened its doors in 1989 stocks brands that larger multiples might not, winning a great number of loyal customers within the local area. Formerly a bookstore, the store managed by Sue delivers an extensive range of shoes and accessories for both men and women.
As you drive into York, you can leave the stress behind and take one of the very regular Park and Ride buses into the city. Alternatively, the Coppergate Shopping Centre where the store stands is linked to Piccadilly multi storey car park, which can be accessed via York’s inner ring road. The store is also 10 minutes on foot from the city’s Railway Station.
In the heart of the historic walled city of York, by the confluence of the River Ouse and Foss, stands our Charles Clinkard store. With town walls perhaps the longest and best preserved in England, the city is also known for being the most haunted in Europe as well as having a rich past in chocolate making; both Nestle and Terry’s Chocolate grew up here.
Certainly the unmissable is the York Minster, a large gothic cathedral which dominates the city, as well as The Shambles, believed to be the oldest shopping street in Europe (even getting a mention in the Domesday Book of 1086!). The largest food and drink festival in Great Britain is held here every September, also a chocolate festival at the end of March and a taster festival in June. The Yorvik Centre is a must-visit too; the place to go to discover what Viking life was really like, conveniently standing opposite the store.
The best place for tea and cake after your successful shopping trip to Charles Clinkard is Yorkshire’s famous Betty’s tearooms, just round the corner. They do an unrivalled traditional Yorkshire cream tea.

Sue recommends Paul Green and Gabor, they are her favourite brands due to their high quality leather, comfortable fittings and stylish modern designs. She also recommends taking good care of your shoes by using a waterproofing spray, nourishing the leather with a cream or wax and using a good quality suede cleaner to keep your shoes looking good!
