Green Cross footwear stores in S.A have been around for nearly 30 years and are a third generation family business. Currently they operate in South Africa and some neighbouring countries such as Swaziland. In total they have 510 employees and this diverse sales force covers all of their stores in S.A and neighbouring countries.
What is great about this brand is that it is locally produced with its own manufacturing plan in Cape Town. In addition to this, Green Cross import great quality shoe brands from overseas. Greencross is known as a brand in South Africa that offers some of the most comfortable shoes in the market which is a must have, especially in a girls closet alongside those uncomfortable high heels. Sometimes you just have to give your feet a break, and that doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on quality or style.
Traditionally Green Cross was sold out of pharmacies, but today they have expanded to have their products showcased in other shoe shops, health stores, as well as their own Green Cross outlets. You may be wondering why pharmacies would sell these shoes, and the reason for this is that each pair of Green Cross shoes have been orthapaedically designed to ensure that your bones and muscles are supported and protected. Each pair of shoes sold under the Green Cross name is carefully designed to provide support to the longitudinal and metatarsal arches in the feet.
This means that that uncomfortable feeling that many people get in the middle of their feet, after walking around or standing for a long period of time, will be eliminated if you wear these shoes. One of the reasons that high heels cause our feet to become too painful is due to the fact that they cause our feet to be stuck in unnatural positions. It is for this reason that when Green Cross do bring in a range of “high heels” they mainly use at most medium height heels so as to ensure that they keep their promise of offering comfortable shoes which provide the best support. In addition to all of this, Greencross shoes are lightweight, made from supple materials and the best quality leather that conform to the wearer’s feet, and also include padding for extra support.
But do not be fooled, Green Cross footwear stores in S.A offer their customers the following products and services:
Shoes (obviously):
From baby shoes, to sport/active shoes, there really is something for everyone. Many people perceive Green Cross as an old fashioned but if they were to pop their heads in to one of the stores located across South Africa, they would realise that Green Cross now has a youth fashion offering.
Foot Care:
It seems obvious that Green Cross would not only offer shoes that support and comfort your feet, but also offer products that help you care for your feet yourself. Some of their products in insoles, medicated corn plasters, foot sprays for those of you with smelly feet, and arch supports. These products can be used in all kinds of shoes. This means that if you want to wear that pair of killer high heels but don’t feel like dreading walking the next day because of the pain, then why not purchase some Green Cross arch supports or insoles to ensure that your feet will feel Green Cross happy any day of the week.
Shoe Care:
There is nothing worse than buying a beautiful pair of shoes and then to accidentally stand in a puddle. Well you do not have to fear anymore as Green Cross offer a range of shoe care products and this range include deodorisers, balms, polishes, and instant buffs.
