AUDREY Burney, 38 from Richhill, opened Envy Shoe Boutique in Railway Street just over two years ago because of her love for shoes. She says she tries to buy stock to suit her customers as they like comfort as well as style.
Audrey suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and has problems with her feet and can't wear high heels, so being able to choose all the lovely shoes is the next best thing for her.
