About Us

Donaghys is a destination store/household name for many in Northern Ireland.

We are known for quality shoes and great customer service, but there’s so much more to this family brand than the iconic ladies shoe department.

Established in 1960 by husband and wife team Peter and Eileen Donaghy, the business has grown from strength to strength from its humble beginnings. With a strong family ethos Donaghys has become one of the largest independent footwear retailers in the UK and Ireland.

At Donaghys, we’re passionate about bringing our customers the very best in footwear, fashion, and accessories. For generations, our store has been a trusted destination for style, comfort, and quality. Whether you’re shopping for everyday essentials, statement pieces, or something timeless, our team is here to help you find the perfect fit.

We’re proud to stock an exciting range of internationally renowned brands, including Tommy Hilfiger, Caprice, Paul Green, Gabor, Rieker, Marco Tozzi, Skechers, Birkenstock, Josef Seibel, and Gym+Coffee – alongside many others that share our commitment to style and craftsmanship. From contemporary fashion to practical comfort wear, our carefully curated collections ensure there’s something for everyone.

As part of our commitment to exceptional service, we blend traditional values with a modern shopping experience. Whether you visit us in-store or online, you’ll discover the same attention to detail, personalised advice, and passion for helping you look and feel your best.

At Donaghys, it’s not just about shoes – it’s about people, experiences, and finding pieces you’ll love for years to come.

Now proudly entering its third generation, Donaghys continues to build on this legacy, with Peter and Orlagh leading the business forward under the guidance of second-generation leaders Anne and Thomas. This transition reflects not only a continuity of family values but also a renewed commitment to innovation, customer experience, and growth, ensuring the business remains as strong and relevant today as it was at its founding.
