A very nice branch of this chain; they had some great bargains the other day £8 for two pairs of…read morecanvas shoes, for example. Everything displayed nicely with wide aisles and comfortable small seats where you can sit to try on. There's a great range of summer footwear to be found at the moment, plus boots and slippers. The two men who served me were very helpful. Found inside the Howgate Centre (shopping mall) in the High Street

I'm not a shoe person at all but I think I'm in love with this store!…read more I'll get it out of the way and say it's one of the more expensive shoe shops on Princes' Street! However, the quality written all over the shoes speaks for itself. You find men's and women's shoes, sandals, boots, pumps, brogues... If you're ever for a loss at what to at around midnight, head over to the store where the shoes at wonderfully lit in all their glory for some late night window shopping. The staff (meaning the one lady I spoke to a few weeks ago) is extremely friendly, and the store is so large and glitzy you might be tempted to buy something you may not really be able to afford!

Russell and Bromley are luxury shoes at their best. Beautiful, classic and timeless, this footwear…read moreis pricey but you can be sure that you are getting fantastic quality and longevity for your money! The handbags are simply beautiful too, with clean lines and sumptuous leather quilting which rivals any Mulberry bag I have ever seen. The bags range from around £100-£300, depending on size, but my favourite is the Quilt Trim Shopper at £145, not too bad at all for a bag which will grow old with you! Well worth saving up your pennies for!

Sorry American shoe makers, your store fronts are nothing compared with Loake…read more First of all, Loake is an icon in the world of shoes, well known for the quality of their products. It's exceedingly difficult to find a pair in the US, as they don't have any store fronts. Yes you can find them, but only in large department stores, and limited styles and sizes. To find a storefront with the full line up was awesome. And then of course there is the customer service; it's second to none. the man I worked with, Robert, took so much time talking with me, and picking out the exact pair that would fit it was almost comical. I ended up with a pair of suede boots, but I tried on about 10 pairs after being measured until the exact fit was found. The price point is less than some iconic American brands such as Allen Edmonds (and like 1/3 of the price of Alden). Best of all they gave me a dram of whisky while I shopped. Can't recommend this place enough, high end shoes and superb service. If you're into shoes and can get to a Loake store you should

This is a local shoe shop which caters for the more mature customer. Having worked in a proper old…read moreladies shoe shop which specialised in hammer toes, bunions and arthritis, I can appreciate this place. Or could. They do definitely cater for more mature customers from their styles (kitten heals and navy sensible work shoes with a half inch heel) and colours. Their stock is also a pretty good range and they seem to have a good variety of sizes, or are at least willing to investigate the possibility of ordering them in (very unusual in this day and age). However, despite all of the above and how nice the staff are I can't help but feel that this shop doesn't sit right. It is for older customers, but it's still trying to straddle the style and fashion side of things. Most importantly, their shoes don't look that comfortable and - going by the leather - a bit overpriced. Though, I'm more than willing to put my reservations down to having had three years plus of very good shoe training (it was an old school independently run and owned shop - you get the idea...). Hence, to the average customer or window shopper - who is the over side of forty - this place is decent enough and an usual find in the immediate local area. So, worth a quiet afternoon browse.

Funnily enough until I saw this one I didn't know that Stead and Simpson were still going. They can…read moresometimes have some unusual stuff but the majority is quite old fashioned or quite practical. For the likes of sensible shoes for walking the dog its perfect. As I said on the odd occassion they have had something unusual and in the past when I needed shoes for a wedding its been here I've ended up getting something. They are probably better for gents shoes than ladies now and seem to have a better selection of styles for men. The prices are more than you would pay in the likes of matalan but in the majority of cases Stead and Simpson's shoes are at least leather!!!! The staff aren't particularly helpful or friendly and really look like they don't want to be there.
