About Schuh

Born in Edinburgh in 1981, schuh was launched with a name that no one could pronounce; shoes that no one liked and and a retail experience that no one had seen before. We were different. Our early success was down to celebrating those differences and shaking up the conventional ‘shoe shop’ by challenging the carpeted shop floor, 50 shades of brown, and the toe-pinching world of family run shoe shops. schuh wasn’t a shoe shop, it was a fashion store that sold shoes. The volume of stock and the variety of colours packed into the smallest spaces created something previously never seen in the footwear market. People soon knew how to pronounce the name, they started loving our shoes and the opportunity to express themselves through what they put on their feet. Fast forward a few years and we have stores throughout the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands with a phenomenal online business. What hasn’t changed is our independent spirit, our belief and doing things differently and allowing everyone to express themselves through their shoes. schuh is now recognised as one of the most loved and most innovative retailers around and that’s thanks to all the great people that make us, schuh. Purpose Pillars Fostering Diverse Talent: At schuh, we aim to help young people in the UK find their passion and we’ve teamed up with The Prince’s Trust to help us on this journey. Within the Fostering Diverse Talent pillar, we focus on Racial Equality through our partnership with the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust, Disability Equality with our Shape Arts focus and supporting the LGBT+ community through our work with The Proud Trust. Sustainability: Sustainable style? We HEAR you! At schuh, we strive to create an eco-friendly work environment in everything we do. Our charity partner, The World Land Trust, helps us to recycle old shoes with our Sell Your Soles scheme - you’ll find all the deets here. Check out our YouTube series episode, How Long Till The Earth Dies? where we talk all things environment, sustainability issues and what we're doing to help. Mental Wellness: We’re on a mission to help those in need around the UK. We’ve paired up with The Mix, a youth mental health charity in a bid to do our part in helping those around us. We’ve now launched our charity tote bag in partnership with The Mix! The profits from the sale of each bag go towards helping one young person in the UK begin their journey of getting the help they need. Get yours in store & online now!
