Shoes in Reading

“Amazing service - had a custom suit created for my wedding. Graeme's attentive to what you're looking for with great suggestions. Fantastic communication and couldnt be happier with the suit and the service”

“This place is fantastic. As someone with osteoarthritis in both feet who's had various surgeries I needed stiff soled shoes but didn't want anything that looked too old fashioned. The shop is packed with choices of everything from slippers to wellies, trainers, formal and everyday shoes and the owner could not have been more helpful. I will definitely be back and they will be my first port of call for any footwear I need in future. The shop also sells a great range of leather purses, wallets, belts and even recycled leather goods. There are a huge range of insoles and socks, all under one roof. I really can't praise it highly enough. It's a gem of a shop!”

“Popped in for a zip repair and had it repaired in super fast time. Really honest and fantastic advice on the repair. Will definitely recommend. These little independent specialist shops are true gems and needed in communities so keep using them.”

“The experience of Julia in a pointe shoe fitting is second to none. Her kindness and empathy with my more sensitive child makes the whole experience superb. Thankyou.”

“I discovered Busby & Fox a couple of weeks ago and have bought five pieces and all are beautiful, stylish and very comfy. Effortless to wear and great quality. I had the pleasure of meeting Emma today, (the owner) who was, unsurprisingly, dressed beautifully from head to toe. Very friendly and wanted honest opinions which was easy, as my opinions are all good. (Emma, I should have said “pockets please” which I love in skirts and dresses.) Props to the gorgeous Annie and Tracey in the Henley shop for their fabulous welcome and wonderful service. These two are absolute gems and a credit to the brand. Am loving everything Busby & Fox!”

“I bought all my son’s holiday clothes from here and the quality won’t be matched. I sent my partner back to buy some more things as I loved them so much. You really won’t find better outfits. X”

“Living in Portugal, we initially contacted Anthony Blay via email to order top hat & tails for Royal Ascot. From the moment Jayne picked up the email, we knew we were in good hands. Her knowledge, attention to detail & professionalism was brilliant. Wholeheartedly recommended.”

“I am very impressed with Hobbs store in Reading. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They are very polite and still very welcoming in very busy days/sales. Outstanding Interpersonal skills, Always helping to find the best cloths suits me. I always get comments on my cloths. I am very pleased with their attitude and customer service.”

“Amazing service here. We’ve been back three times to get me, my husband and teenage daughter running shoes. Plenty of choice and advice. The staff are all very knowledgable and friendly, and without judgement as to how much/often you run. So whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned runner putting in lots of miles a week, this place is great.”

“Great choice of clothes. Even have a wide selection of " yours London", which my local branch does not. Very friendly team, willing to go the extra mile to help customers find what they need.”

“Best place to get a suit! The customer service is next level. The Manager, Kenneth, goes above and beyond every single time and never disappoints. Highly recommend you come here and only here if you need a suit and outstanding customer service!”

“Had a great experience at Sketchers in Basingstoke today. Adam was exceptionally helpful and patient. After trying on lots of shoes found the perfect pair. Will be returning to purchase more summer shoes”

“Had an absolutely amazing shopping experience with Boss Reading! I live all the way out in South Africa and I managed to purchase a travel trunk online (the last one available in the UK) from this store. The store manager, Grace Tucker, has been nothing short of brilliant! From managing the transaction to personally delivering it to my forwarding address, constantly checking in with me regarding the details and shipping confirmation. Some of the best customer service I've experienced in a long time! Would be happy to shop here again, whether I'm in the UK or elsewhere!”

“Friendly and helpful staff! Thanks to both Isobel and her colleague (who I didn’t catch the name of!) :)”

“Justine was excellent during our sons' shoe fitting for school shoes - thank you so much!”

“The best shop to buy your children's footwear. Manager is magnificent with old fashioned values when it comes to customer service and fitting. He takes the time and cares about each little foot that enters the shop!”

“Excellent service! Staff are friendly and very helpful, always cheerful and resourceful when choice is not as straighforward. I am impressed by how well staff know their products and how they can offer personalised advice-would thoroughly recommend the store. Mica Anne was very patient with me in my last visit and Angelina has been amazing at locating shoes from different stores. Thank you! VB”

“Great staff who couldn't be more helpful even on Boxing Day which must be one of, if not the, busiest days of the year. Happy to look for alternative sizes, to check stock upstairs and to hold your sale in bargains while you look for more.”

“OK they didn't have my ideal shoe. But they had some good ones. But staff really helped me out which made it worthwhile and fruitful trip. Thanks to the team.”

“Cheers to Adam as always for being so welcoming and being great with us, me and my near 3 year old - did everything possible to try find us the Crocs or Igors we wanted but wasn’t in stock. Always came here and now definitely will always continue. Thanks Adam and everyone at the shop. UPDATE 13/10/25 Big thanks also to Charlie and Holly for being so attentive and helpful especially with my 3yo little girl”

“Great experience walked to the door was given a ticket, was seen very quickly to get my sons feet measured and we had new shoes and paid within 15/20 minutes.”

“Great sales staff,Mia was extremely helpful & the manager Harvey is very professional at running the shop,they both dealt with no fuss,very happy with my experience I was treated with respect thankyou kindest regards. I would highly recommend Basingstoke River island.”

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but Jay at the Bracknell Branch was so kind and patient while we were looking for shoes. She really took her time with us, gave helpful advice, and made the whole experience way easier. Thanks, Jay!”

“I’ve been here twice in the past year. The young girl with the red hair has served me on both occasions. She’s brilliant! Great and friendly service.”

“Had the best experience in this store today. Went to try and find some footwear for my elderly mum who has very poorly feet so finding the right footwear is always very difficult. The young man who attended to us was so kind, helpful and patient- giving recommendations, bringing out loads of different options and helping mum to try them all on. Such great service - very glad we went”

“This place is really excellent! The staff are helpful, happy to help and engaged in the process! This is the second time I've been here to sort out shoes for my kids and the service is brilliant! Thank you Schuh!”

“Went into the Farnham Clark store today as my daughters school shoes were so uncomfortable she couldn't wear them. I was worried the £30 I had paid would have been wasted as she briefly wore them outside. However, the lovely girl that served us spent a long time figuring out what style comfortably suited my daughters foot shape and I was given an exchange with free insoles for a better fit of the new shoes. Thank you very much, a brilliant service and a fantastic pair of comfortable school shoes for my child.”
