The temperature is definitely getting colder, so it’s time to make sure you have the right footwear for the weather. To give you a helping hand, we’ve had a browse around our Schuh to bring you the comfiest and stylish shoes possible.
Home Comforts
We don’t know about you but when the weather is dreary, we like to stay indoors and cuddle up in front of the tele. So you’re going to need the perfect pair of slippers to keep your tootsies toasty. Schuh’s range of slippers are the perfect collection no matter what your style; from chic on-brand Uggs to bright fluffy numbers – there’s bound to be a pair that will show off your personality.

If you’re looking for the perfect pair of boots, that not only look incredible but can hold up whatever the weather, the Dr Martens are then ones for you.
Whether you prefer bright and bold or classically muted, there’s definitely a pair in this collection for you.
Comfortable Fashion
Whether you’re spending the colder seasons working on that Summer body or just love comfy but chic shoes, then trainers are the way forward. Schuh have everything from sporty running shoes to classic converse.
Kids Clobber
Finding shoes for your little ones that don’t get ruined after the first week can be difficult. So we’ve had a browse and found some amazing options (at amazing prices), to find your kids the perfect shoes that can battle any muddy field, puddle and playground! Whether it’s school shoes they need help protecting or their weekend kicks, Schuh’s range are perfect no matter your little prince or princess’ style.
Summer is here! We may be seeing the odd bit of cold weather and rain but the sun has actually managed to make an appearance for more than a couple of hours, so it’s time to embrace the sunshine and hit the high street in the latest summer fashion. To give you a little helping hand, we’re going to be picking out some of our favourite looks from this season!
Sultry Swimwear
Whether you’re hitting the beaches of Marbella or just sunbathing in your back garden, we’ve found the perfect bikinis and swimsuits that will make you swoon. From triangle plain halter necks to bright patterned one pieces, there’s swimwear to suit everyone in our stores.
Dreamy Dresses
Strolling around the shops helped the little fashonista inside us run wild, we found dresses to suit everyone’s style!
From bright flowy numbers to 90’s styled denim, we couldn’t get enough of the endless collections our stores had to offer
Step into Summer
We don’t know about you but we think shoes can either make or break your outfit. So we’ve had a look around Schuh to find some seasonal must haves that will never ruin your style. They have everything a girl could ever need this summer from strappy sandals, peep toe heels to glitzy boots.

Spring fashion has officially sprung! Although the weather has been frosty over the past few weeks, it’s definitely starting to pick up. The elves have been taken down off the shelves and replaced with Easter eggs, so we thought we’d release our inner Gok Wan and give you a little spring style inspiration.
Give Winter The Boot.
The sun is peeping through the clouds but that doesn’t mean it’s time to break out the flip-flops.
But it also doesn’t mean the only shoes you can wear are your clumpy winter boots because let’s face it, they’ve probably taken a beating in the latest weather.
So we’ve had a little browse around Schuh and we were speechless. All we can say is they’ve really pulled out all the stops this year. From Kim K styled ankle boots to flower power doc martins, their spring shoe collection is stunning. They have something for everyone, for the simmered stylist to the full blown fashion icons, you’ll 100% find the shoe for you.
Bag it.
An outfit is all about the accessories and this spring, we’re all about pops of colour and florals! Bright greens, yellows and pinks are definitely on the seasonal menu. We couldn’t believe our eyes when we stepped into New Look and saw the array of colours surrounding us!
From stylish back packs to WAG bags and clutches, there’s a bag to fit every occasion just in store for you.
Get your coat…
We know it’s spring but we’re still in York, so lets face it, it’s still going to be chilly – they don’t call it April showers for nothing! But that doesn’t mean you’ve got to trek about in a big parka all the time, H&M’s men’s jacket range is amazing. From sleek going out jackets, to casual day to day, their collection is perfect for any man with any price range!
Seasonal Skirts
It’s time to whip out your skirts girls, because we’re all about flowers and frills in the spring.
Topshop’s collection is perfect for a quick photo opp in the street – whether you prefer a fitted mini skirt or you want to channel your inner princess in a long flowy maxi, we’ve got you covered.
