A good fashion and footwear store has a clear layout, current stock and staff who can help with sizes and fit. Expect sneakers and streetwear from well-known sports and lifestyle brands, and try shoes on at the end of the day when feet are at their largest, with the socks you will wear. Regulars know that limited releases and new colours sell out quickly, that checking the website for stock before you visit saves a trip, that sale periods offer good value on older styles and that keeping the box and receipt makes returns easier. Ask about size exchanges and how the store handles online orders, as click and collect is often available. A store in Riccarton's busy shopping area can be crowded on weekends, so a weekday visit is easier.
For anyone in Riccarton and west Christchurch, Hype DC on Riccarton Road is a local store for sneakers and streetwear.
