Shoe store in Edinburgh

“Just want to say that Julie in the store was fantastic. Helping us find exactly what we were after and letting us know of all the offers. Wish every shop had a Julie! Travis age 13.”

“What a great little local shoe shop. I cannot recommend this shop highly enough, my 2 year old got himself worked up about getting his new shoes at other appointments. Kerrie the owner was great she send a video to introduce herself, photos of the shop etc so I could prepare him before we got there. At our appointment it was relaxed and Kerrie was so lovely getting the new shoes was not a problem. The shoes themselves are beautiful and very high quality.”

“Hired a kilt. jacket and shoes for our neighbours wedding in May, from the Dalkeith outlet. Staff were very helpful and gave great advice on matching a suitable kilt to my preferred jacket colour. Everything was ready on time, brilliantly presented and the entire process was very easy. Would not hesitate to use again! Thanks”

“Placed an order with Tom Dick & Harry menswear but unfortunately due to an glitch the item i ordered was actually out of stock, the customer service was excellent and went above and beyond to source me the item of clothing from another company that I had been struggling to find in stock anywhere. Will definitely be returning for future purchases.”

“Never been to the shop as it's a long way away. But it is without a doubt, the best online shopping experience I have had.”

“One of my favourite stores - Nigel and his team are good friends, and whilst this may sound biased, it is not. The have all the right brands for men, all of the right knowledge about the brands, and a super welcoming environment in store.”

“Marty was so helpful in helping us hire a kilt outfit for my son. Extremely accommodating. Son loved the kilt and only disappointment was having to return it! Thank you!”

“Extremely pleased with the kids fitting service and variety of shoes! The staff were friendly and professional and went above and beyond to help me find the correct size and the right shoe for my little one. They even provide you with a fitting record and approx time for booking your next appointment! Highly recommend and it goes without saying will be visiting again soon ☺️”

“A wonderful selection of sustainable fashion and vintage clothes. Super friendly staff! ❤️”

“Have had lots of lovely orders from these beautiful ladies. Always top quality, great prices and always well packed and fast delivery. An all round amazing shopping experience. The customer service is as excellent as the products. Highly recommend”

“Emily brilliant at searching out & reaching stock i could not get to, even though she is not that tall. Explained the car park system & put items aside so I could sort out accessible parking. Will shop here again if I'm passing, no longer a store in my locality.”

“My wife and I recently visited the Walker Slater store and were thoroughly impressed from start to finish. We each purchased jacket blazers, and my wife also found a beautiful ladies’ coat. The quality of the craftsmanship is immediately evident — from the fabric to the fit — and the designs and prints are absolutely stunning. The staff (Freí) were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do, making the whole experience a pleasure. We’re both looking forward to wearing our newest wardrobe additions this winter season. Highly recommend!”

“I came into the shop looking for some t-shirts for my son and the staff were so lovely to me. I think her name was Sight? She spent lots of time with me giving me advice on what was currently in style. People at the tills were also very lovely and nice. I can’t recommend this shop enough. The place was also very clean and tidy - despite it being quite busy”

“A Truly Exceptional Experience – Maja at Walker Slater Ladieswear I visited Walker Slater Ladieswear in Edinburgh for the first time and was absolutely blown away by the service I received from Maja, who was acting as a temporary manager that day. I’ve shopped in boutiques and luxury retailers all over the world — and Maja’s professionalism, warmth, and expertise were on par with, if not beyond, what you’d expect at the highest level. She demonstrated exceptional product knowledge, never pushy, always patient, and had a genuine desire to help me find the perfect pieces. She went out of her way to try and source a size for me before I leave the country. What truly impressed me was her leadership. Despite a busy shop and some tricky customer situations, Maja remained calm, organised, and in complete control. I spent quite some time there and observed how respectfully and effectively she managed both customers and staff. She answered every question clearly, handled logistics effortlessly, and maintained a sense of polished, effortless charm. Management should absolutely take note: Maja is not only an outstanding sales assistant — she is leadership material. Someone who elevates the entire brand just by doing her job so exceptionally well. Kindly, Annie G ( New Zealand)”

“Went in with my groomsmen and my dad for some shirts for my wedding and we were sized up and assisted by David. He was brilliant really helpful and down to earth, there was no hassle getting or sizes and fit we liked and when my shirt arrived it fitted perfectly. We all got a great price on each shirt too. Really happy will definitely be back. Thank again.”

“Incredible selection of items. Very helpful staff. Large changing rooms. I would even go as far as saying this is the best clothing store/ brand in this price bracket. You will be getting some of the nicest fabric, zippers, and screen print all at reasonable cost.”

“Fantastic shop with one of a kind type of clothes, vintage and modern, some with a twist of elegance, some youthful and fun. Staff that works there is amazing and very helpful and friendly, always making sure i find what im looking for, even thou im a demanding customer. Especially the beautiful blond girl, always creating a friendly atmosphere. In general, fantastic shop with all wicked clothes you may need. I recommend, 5 stars!”

“Always love a browse here. Never short of options.”

“10/10 my 9yr Granddaughter was treated as should be (even during this awful covid)unlike a big high street shop! Measured her feet properly/ checked width/walking bought with confidence a pair of lovely patent boots that's she loves for winter Will recommend”

“Visited this shop on 28.05.2024 during our trip to Scotland. Within the shop there are two areas: where you can buy already available goods and studio-fitting room where you can without rush agree on your custom order. The customer service was amazing, and especially big thanks to Lisa(if I recall correctly), who worked that day there and who is such a passionate young lady. She patiently waited while I was choosing among 500+ different tartans (that was not an easy choice, lol), took all my measurements and politely answered all the questions to ensure, that my custom-tailored order will 100% match my needs (I wanted bow tie fully match the skirt, with green and white colors visible, so she promised the tailor could do it and it was delivered just as promised). Overall, as a person who interested in traditional clothing but in my own country, I was pleased to talk to someone who shares the enthusiasm about traditional clothing. The order was prepared and delivered to my country in ~1.5months, which is not a short period, although it is totally justified in my opinion. I paid ~380£ for items and delivery alltogether upon the time of my visit, which I believe to be a fair price. (For some reason the colors of this Fraser Modern tartan do not show correctly on my phone camera, the correct colors are only on a closeup picture) Thanks a lot, I'm very much satisfied!”

“I bought a pair of runners at this store, got to my hotel in Edinburgh and found I’d left them in store (I thought at least!) I rang the store just before closing and a lovely staff member called Tracy answered. She was over the top helpful and wanted the situation solved. It was just before closing when most would just give up and go home. Tracy went beyond good service and took my details to check in the morning how we could solve the issue further. I went and checked the car again and pulled out all the luggage…and there they were! Great appreciation and thanks to Tracy! I’ve bought a few pairs of shoes here and will be back again!”

“We are in Edinburgh on holiday and needed to get my daughter her first pointe shoes, so we made an appointment. They were so helpful making the appointment and communicating by email, and then the fitting was absolutely amazing! One on one fitting with Keith, who talked through everything and checked everything. My daughter is thrilled. Hanging with Dexter was a happy bonus! Thank you!!”

“Incredible, personalised customer service. An item I ordered was out of stock, and Rosy Penguin really impressed me with both their generosity, and the lovely hand written note of apology. Will shop here a lot more as a result!”

“Lovely store with beautiful things. Salesperson was kind and helpful.”

“Had a lovely experience with Ryan helping my partner pick out shoes- ended up walking away with a pair of the limited edition Edinburgh greyfriars design boot as a beautiful memory of our time in Scotland. Ryan went above and beyond and very accomodating, we really appreciate it.”

“Great clothes and if on sale even better. Would recommend for anyone looking for designer wear for their kids”

“Ordered boots online and paid with PayPal. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The shop has a great selection of quality items at good prices. I love the boots I've found at this shop, and I didn't find them anywhere else online. I def recommend checking out this shop!”

“Another lovely shopping experience in Coastal kids. We have bought all our school shoes here and been very happy with the fitting and range and bought another pair today. Also bought some gorgeous trainers, tops and a great birthday gift. Highly recommend.”

“Lovely little shop with natural made soaps and salves etc. Cute little gifts and unique socks and scarves. The lady in the shop is lovely.”

“Amazing store and super helpful! It’s got a great range of women’s and a smaller bit of menswear as well. Just lovely vibes and great to visit”
