Great Service. My feet were killing me and I desperately need new walking shoes. A young woman…read morefrom New Zealand was working in the footwear department and used 3D laser scanner to find the perfect walking shoes. I was visiting from the U.S., and the shoes I chose to bring with me did not offer much support. She determined that I have incredibly high arches, and one foot was a bit larger than the other. I was a mess. She found the perfect shoes and it's now three months later and I'm back in the U.S. putting many new pain free miles on the new walking shoes. Thank you. Wish I remembered your name so I could give your credit.

It has to be said that if the dead start to rise this is first on my loot list. I'll need to get my 'oh fuck rucksack' properly stocked. What do you mean you don't know what an 'oh fuck rucksack' is? It's a rucksack you have stowed away in the cupboard under the stairs with various bits of survival stuff, food, etc. that you can grab if the world as we know it is coming to an end. Yes I read and watch far too much disaster stuff and might be a bit of a worrier! Given that the dead are not currently roaming the streets and that society isn't crumbling we concentrated on looking for a warm winter coat for smudge. That said she'd still need to be warm in a nuclear winter, dual purpose shopping! They have a good selection of kids outdoorsy clothing and especially jackets and coats ranging from economical regatta ones right through to seriously spendy Berghaus ones. Thankfully she fell in love with a middle of the range Craghoppers one. It's waterproof, fleecy lined and has a great hood so the poor sausage is getting no lifts to school this winter. While we were there g found a long list of cycling gubbins that has now been added to his 'I need all this now' list and I found a really cozy warm winter coat that might be worth investing in given that a denim jacket is not really the most sensible bit of outerwear for a Scottish winter. Poor puff was the only one of us not really catered for but she'd has so much fun riding in the trolly and pulling things off the displays that I don't think she minded one bit. It has to be said that finding a member of staff in here is virtually impossible. Even when it comes to actually buying something and handing over your money you just can't find any staff. I left g to pay while I got the kids in the car. By the time he had payed I'd got both girls in and buckled, returned the trolley and checked the news app for any signs of a coming apocalypse, not somewhere to come if you are in a rush to leave town and head somewhere more remote and safe.

GoOutdoors offers great value outdoor gear in exchange for a membership fee. Please remember that the amount you save in one trip normally covers this membership fee. They have just about the widest amount of outdoor gear from any outdoor store i have ever seen. Men's, ladies and children's clothes and shoes. Camping and caravanning kit and accessories, climbing, canoeing, cycling, running and horse riding also feature. Now they represent every area well but aren't specialists into any area in particular. Shop with care. Watch out for their great bargains and if you are desperate for something reserve online and pickup in store. Staff are quite good. Some better than others but as an outdoor type I just want somebody who can find the size of shoes I'm looking for.

Our dog never used the collar, had the original tag and the original bag. I simply wanted an exchange. Woman (allegedly the Store Manager) was hostile with a bad attitude the moment I asked for an exchange. I have been living in Edinburgh for over a year now from the US. People here are great and warm. I have never come across a bad person until now. This manager was rude, curt and could care less about the needs of this customer. Strongly recommend you don't visit this store. Experience was so bad I am contacting their headquarters in Tyne and Wear. STAY AWAY!

Seriously, the quilted pattern has become somewhat of a trademark in George Square, alongside Jack Wills slouch-pants and back-combed, back-sprayed, and dragged-through-the-hedge-backwards hairstyle. And that's just the men. I went in with my mum, hesitantly, as I knew the stigma that came with the seemingly innocent jacket, but I was quite impressed. There is definitely a style - quilt - but there's a lot more to it than that. I ended up buying a wax jacket for a mere £69 and I wear it all the time. Yeah there is a stigma, but not for all the jackets! The staff were really friendly too and ordered in a jacket for my mum, and even though she didn't buy it in the end, they were really lovely. I'm just worried about the condition of my hair now...

The great thing about the items from here is that they never let you down. Go elsewhere and you can buy waterproof matches that will work just so long as they don't get too wet whereas here you get a lighting stick - these never go wrong. What you are buying is reliable items that don't let you down, but because they are also simple in design they're unlikely to be that expensive either. Great for all campers if only so they can light a fire on wet days.

They have a reasonable range of hiking gear and camping equipment as well as many complicated pocket knives and other boyish toys. Staff are helpful, and everything I bought here seemed to be good and durable quality. It's a decent alternative to all the chain outdoor shops in town such as Millets and Blacks, as it stocks a slightly different range of brands, and the prices are comparable for most things. I think they do also have slightly more specialist and heavy duty gear. All in all, if you're about to venture into the wilds of Scotland (or beyond), Leith Army Stores is a sensible place to equip yourself before you go.

Passed this store which looked interesting since we were looking for some nice walking / hiking shoes for my wife and me. Staff was really friendly, showed us the different kinds of gear.
