Review: Taking Our First Steps With Dotty Fish

Posted on by Emma Reed

As an ex-shoe shop manager, I have a thing about shoes. For starters, I love them!

I worked my way up in the company to become a Manager of a store and I was extremely passionate about what I did, especially when it came down to fitting kid’s shoes correctly.
