Seniors is probably the best shoe shop in Goa with branches in Panjim and Margao. They sell both mens & ladies, and the average price for a fashionable pair of leather shoes is ten quid - bargain! They also sell original Crocs...not the fakes you see on sale near the beaches!
Gulf Supermarket is a good shop for being discounted digital cameras and alike in Panjim. Situated on the same road as Bombay Bazaar and most of the major shops in Goa.. This shop is downstairs, so be careful or you may miss the entrance.
