Just by looking at the selection of shoes here, you can tell that they are fabulous quality and you will get years of wear out of them. The current window display has a range of sandals that offer good grip and support too, so perfect if you have problems with your feet. They have an excellent range of shoes for both women and men and in addition to work shoes and sandals, they also have outdoor shoes.

When buying shoes in Edinburgh you'll find that you get a large range of shoe shops offering…read moredifferent qualities and it can be hard to tell which ones are overpriced and which are genuinely of higher quality. At some places it will be easy to tell what you are getting because you'll be paying very little, but you'll very clearly notice the lack of quality in the items. These might seem a bargain at under £10, but in terms of long term value they are more expensive than you might think. These cheap ones often only last a few months, whereas any shoes from here will last many years. In the end it does make sense to buy your shoes from here simply because they last so much longer. The person who advised me to first look into buying shoes from here was almost evangelical about them and it did indeed take a lot of convincing before I accepted that they didn't work in Ecco's marketing department. I do personally get sick of the days when my cheaper shoes start falling apart just as it starts raining heavily and if that's a problem you've been plagued by in the past then this is the shop that has the solution for very reasonable prices.

I thought Sole was going to be a bit swankier than it was - by swanky I thought we would be in the…read more £££ hundreds region for shoes and boots. It wasn't THAT bad, although for certain pairs it's still extortion. Sole sell the popular, trendy brands such as Ugg, Converse, Blowfish and Diesel. They also do some brands which aren't my thing like Fred Perry, but seemingly they try to cater for a spectrum of tastes. They have Birkenstocks for a hefty fee. They look comfy, like a few of their brands, but I don't really see what the attraction is to brown, bulky shoes. If you're going to spend a lot of money on a pair of tootsie warmers, go all out and get something more adventurous. You might as well if you're flashing the cash! Regarding this shop, I'm not as appalled as Stuart is - probably because I was expecting the prices to be through the roof. Shoes will be longer lasting in here than in Primark, so I may have to argue with Mr B and say that they will be better for your feet and worth paying out to. But as has been rightfully outlined, shoes at a tenner have largely served me longer than some of the brands they have in here. Converse have a particularly bad track record for getting holey and eroded, much as I love Chucks. It's got Soul, but it's not Super Bad.

I am a big fan of some of the brands…read morethey stick and my pink Hush Puppies shoes are the best shoes I have ever owned, in fact I regret not buying 2 pairs! I was in Schuh recently looking for a pair of everyday trainers, and obviously they came up trumps with some new balance lovelies. What impressed me most though was after I tried them on and said I'd take them, the shop assistant asked if I was paying cash or card. When I said card he went to get the mobile card machine and I paid there and then without having to get into the queue at the tills. A very clever touch, and one I haven't seen anywhere before. Well done Schuh, your customer service continues to be excellent.

I love Schuh, it's is easily the best shoe shop in Edinburgh. Situated in a massive premises on…read moreFrederick St, they have a huge selection of delightful offerings for both men and women. Asides from stocking a lot of high profile labels (Adidas, Irregular Choice, Red or Dead, Ugg etc), they also have their own brand which successfully copies the latest trends, but retails for a cheaper price. There are always lots of helpful staff wondering around eager to help you on your quest to find the perfect pair and because the shop is so large, you can always find a seat in which to try things on. The student discount (10% off) and generous returns policy (you have 365, yes 365, days in which to change your mind) make this place a winner.

I can't really afford to buy all my shoes from here because I live a realistic existence (even though my mother thinks otherwise) so sale times are by far the best time to go. When I saw the £120 shoes I wanted reduced to £40 I thought I was going to pass out. Comfortable and sometimes affordable is a great combo.

I probably have enough shoes to do that, just not enough space in my overcrowded room. They have so many different styles from sandals, to platforms, to wedges, to really high stilettos. The shoes may be quite pricey but as other reviewers have mentioned, they often have sales on and they are darn good sales too with 50% off and more. I have a couple of pairs of Carvela shoes, my favourite pair have a fabric flower on the front and super high heels, I love them and as they are black, I can wear them with just about everything.

Bit of a Jones fan. It is not the cheapest place in the world to buy shoes, but what you do get is…read moregood quality and long lasting. I first discovered Jones about 4 years ago. Shoes tend to rip my delicate feet to shreds so I tend to avoid shoe shopping - its all about where the seams are at the heels. I discovered I could get lovely shoes with leather insides, soft inside heels with non raggedy seams and for once, my feet were not shredded. Since then I've flirted with Kurt Geiger and Duo, but I still return to my first true shoe love. Sales can be decent and staff know their product which can be rare these days. Just got boots, recommended by a staff member as I was looking for boots to zip up - my calf muscle is solid after training so skinny boots don't fit. And she made me feel better by telling me the boots I had tried and failed to get up my legs were 'the skinniest in the shop' rather than just normal sized. So good that the girl next to me asked which boots had been recommended as she (as a runner) had the same issues as me. So Jones, I can't believed you've not been yelped till now. You'll never do the sparkliest shoes but for great basics, high quality shoes and boots, I still love you!

However, this store is on the small side and therefore there's not really a wide selection. The last time I was in the sales assistant didn't really have a good manner with the kids and given that she was stationed at the children's section was a bit off-putting. She very much gave the impression that she didn't want to be there and this affected my child's enjoyment of the visit.
