Tom Collins at the Exeter branch…

Tom Collins at the Exeter branch resolved a manufacturing fault on a 4 year old pair of shoes. The fault could not be rectified so Tom managed to replace them with a brand new pair. Never received that level of customer service anywhere else. 10 stars to Tom

Very average

Very average, had the main course mussel and chips, had a feeling it was over cooked and over heated in a microwave, sauce tasted odd, as too the bread served with the mussels, some mussels cremated,some ok, bit worrying guys as you are serving shell fish. Felt there was no pride in what they were dishing up 🤔

pleasure of visiting the Chester branch....

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Brogue Trader in Chester, and I must say, it was an experience like no other. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the outstanding team, particularly by Alex Davies, whose exceptional customer service deserves special recognition.

I had brought in a 15-year-old pair of brogues that I was on the verge of discarding, convinced they were beyond repair. Alex took one look at them and assured me they could be revived. His confidence and enthusiasm were infectious, and I decided to trust his expertise. The results were nothing short of miraculous. The shoes, which had seen better days, now looked almost brand new, thanks to Alex's meticulous attention to detail and dedication to his craft.

Alex went above and beyond in every aspect of the service. He took the time to explain the process, offered valuable advice on how to maintain the shoes going forward, and showed genuine care for my satisfaction. His passion for his work and commitment to providing top-notch service truly set him apart.

The Brogue Trader Chester is a gem of a shop. The ambiance is inviting, the selection of shoes is exquisite, and the team's knowledge is unparalleled. They offer a level of craftsmanship and service that is rare to find these days.

I cannot recommend The Brogue Trader Chester highly enough. If you're in need of shoe repair or looking to purchase a new pair of high-quality brogues, this is the place to go. And if you're lucky enough to be assisted by Alex Davies, rest assured you'll be in the best hands. Thank you, Alex, and the entire team at The Brogue Trader Chester, for your exceptional service. You've earned a customer for life.

Gem of a mens shoe shop in Morgan Arcade

This is the best Mens Shoe Shop in the United Kingdom. We walked down Morgan Arcade and found this gem of a shop. Nothing was too much trouble for Steve and John. We went out with the most wonderful luxury shoes. When we need mens shoes we will be going back to Cardiff that's for sure.

Fantastic customer experience

Fantastic customer experience. Was informed that my size wasn't available for a couple of weeks and given alternative options however, I was happy to wait. Communication has been exceptional throughout the process and I would be happy to order again.

Stumbled upon the elegant shoe store…

Stumbled upon the elegant shoe store yesterday the fine design and stock of luxury shoes in store was very impressive. However as I was out I needed some gloves to match my outfit and already wearing Loeke shoes I wanted gloves of the same colour or as close as possible, the service I received was absolutely first class, I would highlight recommend Brogue trader thank you I will most definitely be returning. 5*+

First class 5 star service.

First class 5 star, personalized service from James and his team at Cardiff.
This was an experience as never before, from stepping into their delightful premises to leaving, knowing that I had purchased a fine quality pair of Trickers Broughton Brogues.
Highly recommended.

The shop that stands well out from the crowd!

After searching online and sometimes in store, what a relief to find a shoe shop that actually cares about you as a customer. The experience was incredible and the staff a pleasure to deal with. I had my experience at the Edinburgh shop were the manager introduced himself and offered refreshments. This is something you don’t often see. Got the Chelsea boots I desired and left elated! Just wish other shops could follow with this amazing service. Thank you!

Visited Brogue Trader in Exeter

Visited Brogue Trader in Exeter. And wow what a fantastic shopping experience. The staff were very friendly, helpful, professional and entertaining. I came away with an amazing pair of boots and a beaming smile. My partner and I was also given a drink whilst trying on the boots. I now have a loyalty card as I will 100% shop there again...

The best shoe shop in Oxford bar none

The best shoe shop in Oxford bar none. The shop sells
an extensive range of Loake's shoes, leather goods and accessories, backed by fantastically knowledgeable and helpful staff.

The service is second-to-none. You can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee (or something a little stronger) whilst you undertake a fitting. I was recently looking for a new pair of shoes for a wedding. The staff took their time and were able to help me find a style and colour to match my suit. I cannot recommend the store or the staff highly enough.
