A footwear shop for Choolaimedu and the streets around it
Choolaimedu is a busy residential and commercial neighbourhood that links Arcot Road and Nelson Manickam Road and borders Kodambakkam, Vadapalani, MMDA Colony, Aminjikarai, Mahalingapuram and Nungambakkam, according to the Wikipedia entry for the area. Most families here need the same things through the year: school shoes in June, a good pair of everyday slippers, sandals for temple visits and weddings, and something comfortable for long hours on the feet. The shop is set up around those everyday needs rather than occasional fashion buys.
If you have been searching for a footwear shop in Choolaimedu, the idea is simple: come in, tell the staff what you will use the pair for, try two or three options and walk a few steps. A shop makes fit easy to judge in a way a photo cannot, which is why we also publish a shoe size guide to help you arrive knowing your size.

Each category below has its own page with more detail, so you can read about the one you need before you visit.

How to find the shop on Choolaimedu High Road
The shop is on Choolaimedu High Road, close to Gangai Amman Kovil, which is the easiest landmark to ask for. Here is how people usually reach it.
| From | How to come |
|---|---|
| Nungambakkam railway station | The nearest suburban station for Choolaimedu. Locality guides such as NoBroker put it about 1.4 km away, so an auto or a short bus ride works. |
| Kodambakkam railway station | Also close to Choolaimedu and a short auto ride from the shop. |
| Arumbakkam and Pachaiyappa’s College metro stations | Both are on the Green Line, roughly 2 km away by the same guide. Take an auto or bus for the last stretch. |
| By bus | The Choolaimedu and Loyola College bus stops are listed as nearby stops. Ask the conductor for Gangai Amman Kovil. |
| By two-wheeler or car | Choolaimedu High Road connects with Arcot Road and Nelson Manickam Road. The Get directions button above gives live routing. |
Distances are approximate and come from public locality guides, so use the map for live directions. If you get lost near the temple, call the shop and someone will guide you.
Why many shoppers pick a local shop over ordering blind
- Fit is easier to judge in person. Foot length, width and volume vary between brands. A few minutes of trying on saves a return.
- You can compare soles by touch. Press the sole, check how it springs back, and see how the strap sits. Our guide to MCR material explains what to look for.
- Late opening. The shop stays open until 10:30 PM every day, which helps if you finish work in the evening.
- One visit for the family. School shoes, slippers and a bag can be bought together.
Choosing the right pair when you visit
It helps to know what you want the pair to do. These short guides cover the common situations people bring to the shop:
- Standing for long hours at work or in the kitchen: slippers for standing all day.
- Heel discomfort in the morning: slippers for heel pain, and see a doctor if it persists.
- Gift for an older relative: slippers for elderly people and non-slip bathroom slippers.
- Monsoon months: footwear for the Chennai monsoon.
- Foot concerns in general: our foot health notes, which link to trusted medical sources.
We are a footwear shop, not a clinic. We do not diagnose or prescribe. If you have diabetes, numbness, swelling or a foot wound, please see a doctor before choosing footwear.
Buying through the year in Chennai
| Time of year | What people usually look for |
|---|---|
| May to June, before schools reopen | School shoes, socks and school bags. Black and white shoes sell fastest in the weeks before reopening, so come early to find your size. |
| Northeast monsoon, October to December | Grippy slippers and quick-drying sandals. See our guide to monsoon footwear in Chennai. |
| Festival and wedding season | Sandals and formal shoes for the family. Try them on well before the day so the strap or heel can be checked. |
| Summer | Light, breathable sandals and sports shoes. Choose cushioned soles if you walk a lot on hot roads. |
| All year | Daily slippers, work shoes and safety shoes for people who stand through the day. |
How to measure your foot before you come
You do not need special tools. Stand on a sheet of paper in the evening, when feet are slightly larger, and trace your foot. Measure from the heel to the tip of the longest toe, and do both feet because they are rarely identical. Size to the larger foot, and leave about a thumb’s width of room at the front for closed shoes. Brands cut sizes differently, so treat the number as a starting point and then try the pair on. Our shoe size guide has more detail, including how sizes compare between systems.
Questions worth asking when you try a pair
- Does the heel stay in place when I walk, or does it slip?
- Is there room for my toes to spread, especially in the evening?
- Does the sole bend where my foot bends?
- Does it feel the same after walking up and down the shop for a minute?
- For slippers, does the strap rub on the top of the foot?
- What is the exchange arrangement if the size is not right?
A good shop expects these questions. Ask them, and walk a little before you decide.
What kind of shop this is
Urban Style is an independent local footwear shop. It is not an official outlet of any single brand, and the staff will tell you plainly what a pair is made of and how it is likely to wear. Where a brand is not in stock, such as Bata, the shop can usually arrange it on request. If a pair is not right for your need, you will hear that in the shop rather than after you have paid.
Looking after your footwear
A pair lasts longer if you rotate two pairs, let them dry in shade after wet weather and avoid leaving them in a hot parked vehicle. Foam slippers flatten with use, so replace them when the sole stays compressed. Our MCR slippers care guide covers washing and drying step by step.
Buying in the shop or on WhatsApp
Most people walk in. If you are travelling from further away, send a WhatsApp message to +91 90808 61559 with the type of footwear, your size and a rough budget, and ask whether a pair is in stock before you set out. For delivery and returns, read the shipping and delivery policy and the returns and refund policy.
