Irregular Choice Outlet Blogger Event & Giveaway*

Irregular Choice Outlet Blogger Event

If you love shoes then you are going to love this blog post where we got invited by the PR team at The Lowry Theatre to head to Irregular Choice‘s Outlet in Manchester for a closed-door blogger event.

At the event, we had the opportunity to try out as many red shoes as we wanted to, so that we could find out the perfect pair for us….  and what a treat it was!  The invitation comes about to promote Matthew Bourne’s production of The Red Shoes which is based on the film by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger and the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale.

In this post, we will also be sharing with you, our readers and social media followers on how you can win yourself a pair of tickets to the VIP opening night The Red Shoes on Tue 26 November 2019 plus an invitation to their pre-show drinks at Pier Eight.

So if you love funky, bold and dazzling shoes which will turn heads when you walk, then read on to find out more.

There were five other Manchester based-bloggers at the event trying to try out the different types of Red Shoes available in the store. It was also a lovely opportunity for us to chat and network with each other.

Both Lex and I are wearing our favourite shoes in the above picture. Her shoes are perfect for any Christmas and New Year Party as it lights up when you walk. While mine (see pic below) is perfect for me, as I love wearing pants/leggings and the design of the boot shoes just stood out (which is expected from an Irregular Choice shoe).

We were given Prosecco and some nibbles as we tried the shoes.

Their Manchester-based store has lots of other shoe designs as well. Fan of Disney? Don’t worry Irregular Choice have got it covered, these bag and shoes are a collector’s item indeed.

The other thing which intrigued us was that the sole of the shoe was as attractive and colourful as the front.

It was a lovely evening for us, a day out in Manchester trying out shoes and discovering more about the Irregular Choice brand and about its London born owner and designer Dan Sullivan.  If only we could have taken home a pair of our favourite shoes.

About Irregular Choice

Irregular Choice was created by Dan Sullivan in 1999 as a reason to stand out from the crowd.  Back in the late 90’s Dan saw that the footwear market was becoming very neutral and black, yet there was a global demand for something different and individual, something to wear with pride.  Born in London, England, and growing up on the Kings Road in the 70’s during the Punk era, Dan was fortunate enough to travel the world throughout the 70’s and 80’s with his family.  Whilst his parents developed their own irregular footwear collections, including “Transport” and “Chaos Creators”, Dan got to visit the most amazing and inspirational locations, allowing him to soak in everything that surrounded him.  He had left home by the age of 15 and opened his first shoe shop in Covent Garden at the age of 18, which soon turned into 6 stores, until at 23 he decided to close the stores so he could travel and add to his already extensive knowledge of what the rest of the world had to offer.  During his mid to late 20’s Dan chose to go back to the far east to meet with factories and understand the opportunities that were being offered from that part of the world.

The opportunities that Dan discovered in China allowed for detailed & creative manufacturing, at an affordable price & small quantities. This gave Dan the chance to combine the resources of the far east with the experiences he had gathered spanning the most creative times, and countries, of his generation.  And from this Irregular Choice was born. Dan has stuck very determinedly to his philosophy throughout the past 16 years, which is to keep Irregular Choice as something that is not influenced by passing trends, but original and set apart from the crowd. His fearlessness translates into the design of the shoes, and an Irregular Choice shoe is not like any other you’ll find. Dan doesn’t listen to what’s happening in the fashion industry or what another brand may be doing. This is what makes Irregular Choice designs completely unique and truthful.  From embellished heels, ornate wood carvings, tiny intricate charms and lavish fabrics, to the memorable colour combinations, everybody has an Irregular Choice favourite shoe or story.  Each year Dan creates over 600 different styles, and is constantly jotting down styles, photos and sketches, it’s an ever-expanding creative process reaching to what is now over 10,000 different options.  Irregular Choice has evolved with great strides over the past decade. The brand is now sold through hundreds of stockists around the world, and has nine of its own stores across the globe, with more in the pipeline.  Every Irregular Choice customer has their own favourite designs, and with such a huge collection to choose from each season there is always something to tempt every shoe addict.
