About Sucklings

At Sucklings, we know what we’re talking about when it comes to footwear. Shoes are our passion and we leave no stone unturned when it comes to taking good care of your feet. For more than 100 years, the Sucklings name has been synonymous with superior-quality footwear, and we take pride in providing high comfort, internationally known brands to our customers.

75 years ago, Len Suckling opened his destination store in central Christchurch, New Zealand and today the business is still owned by the same family, with John Suckling taking over as managing director when his father retired in 1977.

Having an impressive track record when it comes to providing continuous service and customer care over so many years doesn’t mean that you are shopping with a conservative company: in fact, the opposite is the case.

We are continually looking for new products and embracing the ways that technology can help provide better service to our customers, both in terms of the shoes themselves as well as ways we can keep in touch with our customers, and make the process of buying great shoes even more convenient and comfortable for you.

With an extensive range of quality men’s dress, business and casual shoes, and a select range of stylish, well crafted and comfortable European and American brands of women’s shoes, at Sucklings you can be confident of finding something that meets your needs.

We love doing what we do because we know that your shoes will carry you through some of the most significant journeys of your life. When you come into our store, we don’t just ‘sell’ you footwear, we enjoy helping you to select the right fit for your feet and your lifestyle. That’s the Sucklings difference – your life, our shoes.
