La Griffe

Location: In the heart of touristy St. Sauveur. Street parking is available (not metered) and there’s a public parking lot close to the church.
The place: The space is of a decent size but when the place fills up, you might find yourself elbow-​to-​elbow with your fellow shoppers. Thankfully, that only happens during the summer and on holiday weekends when out-​of-​towners are around.
The goods: This is one of two good shoe stores in the area, and they carry a good variety of quality footwear from Italian designers, to Coach and UGG to Hunter boots. I would say that the bulk of what they carry is on the dressy side, with the exception of rain/​winter boots, sandals in the summer. and some more casual footwear.
Service: Hit or miss. I’ve walked into this store on more than one occasion without receiving any greeting whatsoever, or a greeting of the snooty variety. On this occasion, a clerk eventually came over to see if I needed help. She answered a few questions I had and then rang me up. She was friendly… but I did feel like there was a general lack of interest on her part. That said, let’s be honest: in St. Sauveur, you’ll occasionally encounter folk who think they’re superior to you because they live in St. Sauveur.
Price point: On par with what you’ll pay anywhere else. If you’re buying a brand like UGG or Hunter etc. you will find that these are priced exactly the same as the brand’s web site (s).
