The Shanklin branch is not the first on the Island to close in recent years.

Ryde's Shoe Zone closed in March 2022.

Staff at the Ryde branch also lost their jobs.

The County Press has been told the Newport branch, the only existing Shoe Zone left on the Isle of Wight, will not be affected by this closure.

It is the second shop to announce it is leaving Regent Street recently.

Toymaster closed last month, after nearly seven decades.
