Focused on travel and snow sports but also carries a small but well thought out selection of summer and winter climbing gear. If I had to make one criticism it would be that the displays are laid out in a somewhat haphazard and crowded style, which detracts from the products on offer. I cannot speak highly enough about the service this shop provides.

Rubbish. The…read morewebsite offered me a discount and I successfully placed an order including paying on my credit card. I got a phone call the next day to say that the website should not have offered me the discount and that LD Mountain Centre would not honour the order. I think that's a pretty poor show, personally.

The shop although not the largest, has a wide rang of clothes and shoes direct from the Nike factory at a reduced cost compared to the normal RRP. The staff I have found to be very helpful and generally friendly, the stock they keep although not the latest designs are still of a high quality and a nice range and there is always a bargain to be found. The shop is def worth a visit if you are planning on going on holidaty and need some cheap half decent clothes.

What a fantastic store! Surprisingly today was my first visit to Schuh in Newcastle although I have…read morepreviously visited branches in other cities. Although it only occupies a small space,it still offers a great selection of all types of shoes but particularly funky trainers from all the leading brands. What sets this store apart from other shoe shops is the fabulous customer service! Without being pushy staff were happy to approach me to offer help but equally allowed me to browse in my own time. All staff were so friendly and are a credit to the store. Upon purchasing a pair of trainers I didn't have to leave my seat as they use portable card readers and I was given the additional option of an e-receipt so they are certainly keeping up to date with technology! Although relatively expensive I will definitely go back.

There's so much to look at and being in there really makes me want to go camping! There's some bikes on display and I really want one but it's pricey :(. The best part for me is the good selection of appropriate shoes and clothing which includes waterproofs. Unfortunately, much of what I would buy are super expensive. You can get a discount card but I still wouldn't be able to afford very much. I don't think the prices here are more than other outdoor stores but just generally expensive due to the products on sale. The staff are happy to help our leave you to browser to your heart's content.
