Age' poor lighting and eye strain can cause unfortunate changes in our eyes. Lifelong exposure to light may decrease the photoreceptors (light-sensitive nerve cells) in the eye. Sunlight can produce free radicals that break down' or oxidize' the lipids making up the outer segments of photoreceptors. This oxidation eventually damages the retina where visual perception is most acute - and can result in vision loss. But this process is not inevitable. Studies have shown that bilberry can help maintain normal eye function. Planetary Herbals premier bilberry compounds provide rich amounts of anthocyanosides' known to support the eyes and deliver potent antioxidant protection.
The Bilberry Alternative:
Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a dark blue' edible fruit' similar to the common blueberry. During World War II' bilberry was used by British bomber pilots' who believed it helped their night vision. Bilberry has been a staple of European herbalism for hundreds of years' and has become one of the most widely used herbs in the United States for supporting vision. Bilberry is naturally rich in anthocyanosides - a special class of flavonoid that gives the berries their blue pigment. Anthocyanosides are powerful antioxidants with an affinity for connective tissue. Bilberry supports the capillary integrity of the retina' plus the normal production of rhodopsin' a substance in the rods of the retina that is necessary for night vision. Studies suggest bilberry also may help the eyes adapt to variations in light intensity and may increase circulation to the eye's intricate network of tiny blood vessels.
Bilberry Vision:
Bilberry Vision is a powerful bilberry extract' concentrated and standardized to yield 37% anthocyanosides - the same amount used in most modern research and nearly 100 times as potent as regular bilberry. Each tablet delivers 100 mg of this extract' prepared from bilberries harvested in the mountains of Sweden.
Clinically Derived Formulas:
Bilberry Vision and Bilberry Eye Complex were formulated by acupuncturist' herbalist and author Michael Tierra' L.Ac.' O.M.D.' and are used on a daily basis in his clinical practice. These Planetary Herbals products blend classic Western and Chinese herbal formulations with modern pharmacological research. The result - premier bilberry compounds' unsurpassed for dependability and consumer satisfaction.
Planetary Herbals Bilberry Vision™ is specially prepared from bilberries cultivated in the mountains of Sweden. Bilberry contains anthocyanosides' which modern research has shown to provide considerable antioxidant support. Anthocyanosides also have an affinity for the retina. Bilberry has been a staple of European herbal therapy for hundreds of years' and is quickly becoming one of the most widely used herbs in the United States for supporting the eyes.

Seven months after ending Cooperstown's softball season, the Comets have done it again, this time to the CCS volleyball team.
Cooperstown took the first game, 25-23, in a Class C-2 quarterfinal match, but the Hawkeyes fell, 3-1, to fifth seeded Sandy Creek. Katie Franck finished with four kills, one ace, and 15 assists and Caroline Leonard added 11 kills, but it wasn't enough to beat the Comets.
"They were good," said Cooperstown coach Rich Jantzi. "They started all seniors and they were tough."
It seemed as if it would be a close match after the first game, which featured seven ties and ended with an ace by Katie Franck to give the Hawkeyes a 25-23 victory.
The Comets came out strong in the second game though, never trailing after a 3-3 tie, and taking the game 25-13.
Sandy Creek was very disciplined in their play, generating few errors after the first game. They continued this play in the third game, jumping to an early 4-0 lead and winning, 25-10.
"They were a lot cleaner than us tonight," said Jantzi. "We had 23 hitting errors and 11 serving errors, that's 34 points right there."
The Comets were led by Kylee Martin, who had 24 assists, 10 digs, and four aces and Kylie Hanni, who finished with 11 kills, eight digs, and three blocks. McKenna Guarasce also added 12 kills and four blocks.
"They were very good last year," Jantzi said of Sandy Creek. "We hadn't played them in five years and I honestly had no idea what to expect. They had the experience."
Sandy Creek looked as if they would take the fourth game as easily as the previous two. The Comets came out and held a 14-9 lead, which prompted Cooperstown to call a timeout.
The Hawkeyes answered with a 7-0 run, keeping it close and contesting every point. Sandy Creek pulled away for good at 22-16 and ended the match with a 25-18 win.

By AUDREY McAVOYAssociated Press
HONOLULU (AP) - A Hawaii woman's last name is a real mouthful, containing 36 letters and 19 syllables in all. And it's so long that she couldn't get a driver's license with her correct name.
Janice "Lokelani" Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele is in the midst of a fight with state and local officials to ensure that her full name gets listed on a license or ID card.
The documents only have room for 35 characters, so Hawaii County instead issued her driver's license and her ID with the last letter of her name chopped off. And it omitted her first name.
The 54-year-old Big Island resident wrote her mayor and city councilwoman for help, but the county said the state computer system they used wouldn't allow names longer than 35 characters.

What's wrong with peanut butter?by tomo 130 · August 01, 2013 at 10:28 PM
I recently discovered the brilliance of peanut butter after previously hating it when I was younger. However I saw an old post on here saying peanut butter was bad for a paleo diet?
Can anyone enlighten me as to why this is? I am only eating 100% natural peanut butter - no added sugar, salt or other nasties.
Thanks :)

I really found this article by Mark Sisson pretty informative:
"It generally contains aflatoxins.
Aflatoxins are naturally occurring fungal toxins, or mycotoxins, produced by certain members of Aspergillus, a type of fungus found pretty much everywhere throughout the world. Aspergillus tends to colonize any monosaccharide and polysaccharide it comes across, as long as the conditions are right, but peanuts are particularly susceptible. Most crops are colonized after harvest and during storage, but since Aspergillus is found in the soil (among other places) and peanuts grow underground, peanut colonization often occurs well before harvest. The result is that peanuts are among the most contaminated crops, along with corn and cottonseed.
Aflatoxin, being a toxin, is metabolized by the liver. Large enough doses of aflatoxin are a liver carcinogen in high doses (it's actually what T. Colin Campbell used to induce liver cancer in mice during his China Study crusade to indict animal protein). Early exposure and elevated bloods level of aflatoxin are associated with stunted growth in children.
It contains peanut agglutinin.
As of now, the harmful effects of peanut agglutinin, a peanut lectin, are mostly speculative, but still compelling:
In isolated human colon cancer cells, peanut lectin is a mitogen, or growth-promoter. You generally don't want cancer cells to divide and increase in number.
Altered glycosylation may be at the heart of inflammatory bowel disease-related cancers, like colon cancer.
Peanut agglutinin causes colon cancer cell proliferation via altered glycosylation, in an in vitro study.
That said, those are just in vitro studies. They don't tell us what happens when peanuts are eaten. However, in real live human subjects who ate real peanuts, peanut agglutinin has been shown to make it through the gut lining to end up in the blood stream. That's a little worrisome, don't you think?
I want to reiterate, though: eating peanut butter has never been causally linked to the development of colon cancer. In fact, one epidemiological study found that frequent intake of peanuts and peanut products was linked to a lowered incidence of colorectal cancer in Taiwanese women.
It might contain a uniquely atherogenic oil.
Yeah, peanut oil has a good amount of monounsaturated fat, about 46.8% of the total fatty acid content, which has earned it a solid reputation for heart health in the conventional health world. But it's also got a significant amount of PUFAs, too. 33% of the total fat is omega-6 linoleic acid, with an essentially nonexistent omega-3 ALA content. You could say that about a lot of nuts, though, and I don't think the PUFA content is the big determinant here. It doesn't help, but it's not a deal breaker on its own. Let's dig a little deeper.
Peanut oil has favorable effects on standard lipid panels. LDL drops, total drops, total:HDL ratio drops. The jury is out on how much that all matters, but eating peanut oil will probably make your cardiologist happy. Awesome, right? Maybe, but peanut fat appears to be uniquely atherogenic despite the lipid effects. For decades, it's been used by scientists to induce atherosclerosis in cholesterol-fed rats, rabbits, and primates. Some researchers think that peanut lectins, present in the oil, are the cause of the atherogenicity. Reduction of the lectin content of peanut oil, through "vigorous washing," also reduces the atherosclerosis it causes (although not completely).
You know what else reduces the peanut lectin content? Not eating any peanut butter.
It's a little too tasty.
There's something about the combination of fat, salt, protein, and smooth scoopability of peanut butter that promotes overeating. I wasn't able to bring up any concrete studies on the pro-bingeing effects of peanut butter in humans (though if you run a Google search for "peanut butter addiction," you'll get a bevy of testimonials from all sorts of people claiming to be addicted to the stuff), I believe it. And I bet obesity researchers who typically work with rodents would believe it, too, since peanut butter is often used in these studies as a high-reward, obesogenic comfort food that rats and mice will readily and consistently overeat.
Ultimately, to feverishly scoop in a ravenous frenzy or not to feverishly scoop in a ravenous frenzy is a choice you have to make. I wouldn't recommend eating peanut butter very regularly, and I know I won't for the reasons mentioned above, but that doesn't mean you have to follow suit. The inclusion – or exclusion – of peanut butter (or peanuts in general) will not make or break your Primal cred. There are a lot of things you want to have under control before obsessing over peanut butter, like grains, omega-6 oils, sleep, exercise, play, daily low level activity level, quality of meat, etc. You get those under control and then start thinking about some peanut butter as a treat every now and then, if ever.
As I see it, the easy answer is to just not eat it, because I don't see anything at which it particularly excels (besides inducing people to eat the entire jar in a single sitting). You can get your polyphenols and your minerals from fruits and vegetables, your monounsaturated fat from meat, olive oil, mac nuts, and avocados, and your smooth pulverized salty nutty fix from almond butter, mac nut butter, coconut butter, or any other nut butter – without the peanut lectin, the weirdly atherogenic fat, the aflatoxin load, or the insatiable desire to eat more and more and more until it's all gone and your forearm is sticky."
Peanuts are legumes (the seeds of legume plants, i.e. beans) and not nuts. Beans are categorically not paleo, although you will find some people who eat green beans, peas, or snow peas. The usual concern with beans is the high lectin content - while green beans have (virtually) none, peanuts and other beans have much higher amounts, and different, more potent varieties - some are neutralized with soaking, others cannot be. If you could manage to eat 10 dry kidney beans, you would die from the lectins in them, for example, as they are incredibly potent.
Besides being categorically dismissed, peanuts are also a concern because they are highly susceptible to mold growth and aflatoxin.
The paleo-police aren't going to come to your house if you continue to eat peanut butter, but consider choosing a different (true) nut butter if you can't live without something like it.
The problem with peanut butter is only how it is made. If you know that a producer uses low heat and clean, un-spoiled, organic peanuts - or you do the same at with making your own. There is nothing wrong with it. From my other post...
Forget about peanuts being LABELLED as a legume. This is just as irrelevant as calling a Chestnut a nut. If you don't know, chestnuts have very little fat and are super high in carb's. They are much closer to a potato in macro's than any nut. Likewise peanuts are much closer in content (fats and proteins) to nuts than ANY legume. Virtually all nuts are high in Omega-6, phytates, and PUFA. Even the almond that paleo eaters consume liberally - some way too much via almond butter and flour. The almond is arguably only slightly more healthy than a peanut and not enough to warrant their increased cost. The only nutrient that an almond has in significant amount above a peanut is Vitamin-E being about 3-4 times higher. But given almonds and peanuts have the lower quality Alpha-Tocopherols type of Vitamin-E (not the more effective tocotrienols type), you're better off looking elsewhere for you Vit-E. All considered, the healthfulness of almonds looks to be exaggerated. Now, one thing that everyone leaves out about peanuts is that they have 3-4 times more selenium than an almond. Selenium is the important and relatively hard to find mineral that everyone touts Brazil Nuts for. All other nutrient content of peanuts versus almonds does not differ enough to really care about - especially since you should not be eating more than say a handful or so per day anyway (or couple spoonful's of nut butter). Aflatoxins and lectins are often show up in many other types of both plant an animal foods. The mold that produces Aflatoxin also grows on paleolithic foods. It is not specific to peanuts. Humans in general have a high tolerance for them. So this is another red herring. Peanuts and peanut butter are tested for aflatoxin. Peanuts are only marginally higher than almonds in PUFA fat. Another red herring. I believe that the statement that peanuts are not a "paleo" food is just wrong. Where is the evidence that peanuts did not exist during the paleolithic? You can't condemn them just because they don't grow on a tree. Potatoes and other tubers grow in the ground the same as peanuts. The main issue with peanuts and peanut butter, like most other types of foods, including other nuts, is how it is prepared.
I lost 34 pounds in the last 4-5 months and I still eat peanut butter as part of my Paleo diet.As a matter of fact, I do eat something like 3 tablespoons total a week.
I've been making sunbutter at home. It's easy to make with sunflower seeds and almost as tasty as peanut butter. It's really delicious. And fully Paleo.
I can't stop eating it.
You can buy almonds or other kinds of nuts and put them in the food processor and beat them up. They will first become big pieces, small pieces, flour, and then their oils will start to disentangle from the flour and you'll have nut butter. If it's not working, or not enough oil, you can add some other source of liquid fat, like coconut oil.
Peanut butter is a problem because it's not a nut. Some people are against cashews as well.

The Grind, Meeting Edition, October 3 & 7
So, Laurea and I have been busy little working bees, as we're sure you little bees have been as well. Laurea was fortunate enough to book a workshop this week at Grind Space so she got to really take advantage of the fancy conference room action.
I needed a conference room last Monday evening and the only space I could find was Grind Spaces. So, only makes sense we update you on what it's like to run a meeting at The Grind, yo!
Some background on my meeting:
One of the 8 million projects I work on is Ignite NYC (www.ignitenyc.org), as the presentation guru. That means that I chase the speakers to get their slides, make sure they are in the right formate, load them on the presentation machine, run the machine during the event, and oh yeah, coach and rehearse all the speakers. The rehearsing and coaching is really the most time consuming but also the most rewarding (I love seeing people improve. Shameless plug for my services: www.thepresentationschool.com)
Anyway, to do that I need a monitor for the presentation machine, water, a clicker, reception to have food delivered (presentation deliverers gotta eat), work space for presenters to work away like crazy people on their slides, WiFi for file transfer, and privacy so everyone can give presentations.
The conference rooms here were perfect for this! At the beginning of your meeting, the lovely staff brings you ice water in a pitcher, glasses to drink it out of and they set up your machine with whatever cords you need to get your meeting going. They're also super accommodating with coffee, tea , directing folks to you, and receiving deliveries of food at reception.
People who got there early had a lovely area to sit and chat in. I felt pride in bringing the oh-so-impressive speakers to such a cool, beautiful and professional space. It was also super easy for everyone to come in, no hassle with security stuff.
Our meeting went smooth outside of the items I left at home (let's call my bed a bad co-working place, it eats my Flip camera and power cords – no wonder I'm hunting for a new space). Everyone felt comfortable, we had plenty of space to move around the room, had no technical difficulties once we were up and running. AND I had the added bonus of being able to write on the wall so I was able to put some high level tips up there for people to focus on while talking.
Really a great place to have a meeting! BTW, it's $35/hour for members. First come, first served. I liked it so much, I'm talking to them about using the room regularly for Presentation classes.
*Note image above is me being a ninja and taking a picture of Laurea in her meeting in the conference room. She wasn't in the know hence the "mer, what are you doing Martha?" look on her face. Ha!
Martha's Take on The Grind Sept 16
PIC: Laurea Working Liquid at The Grind.
So, the second location in our journey was The Grind. You can only go there by being invited by other "grindists," in our case Jalina and Marcus from TEDxHarlem.
Our first impression was "wow! this is beautiful and fancy!" The furniture is really nice and eco-oriented. The tables are large, the chairs are really nice and there are outlets in the various tables. It feels like a professional buzzy office that designers work at. More importantly, this feels like the co-working space that you go to when you are ready to take yourself seriously.
Folks that work in the space work in all sorts of industries, not just tech like so many other co-working spaces. And everyone is enthusiastically conducting business all day. It's totally ok to speak loudly, either at your table, in the phone booth, at one of the tables near the coffee or anywhere in the various private conversation booths. There are also fancy couches to sit in if you want a more causal conversation, or 2 blinged out conference rooms with white board walls, pin walls or digital monitors for presentations. 2 of the walls are all windows. There's a professional lobby. It's fancy.
Right now it's $500 a month or $35 a day. They stay open until midnight, or until you're done. The receptionist desk is quite chill and the people are super friendly. We really felt like we could walk up to any table and make friends and collaborate with people who are on the same level as we are.
Highlights of the day:
Having hip friends, one of them emailed me 2 days ago telling me to check this space out. I was all "Laurea and I are hip and cool, we've been there, done that, love that, gonna blog that!" My cool hip friend, Jesse, did have a contribution I wanna share with you, though. This video: http://www.psfk.com/2011/09/members-only-coworking-space-grind-opens-in-nyc.html

My name is Victoria Nonny Dawodu and I, along with other talented writers and photographers edit NONNY'S LIST.
Earlier this year, I took a short trip to Lagos and stayed at The Moorhouse, which is part of The M Gallery Hotel Collection by Accorhotels. The Moorhouse is located in the heart of Ikoyi, one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in Nigeria.
I stayed in a superior room, which had a nice garden view, very fast wifi, a breakfast bar, bathtub and shower, a sitting area and the softest bathrobe and slippers I have ever worn!
Within the hotel is a well equipped gym, where I managed to work out in everyday. Adjacent to the gym are the spa, pool and restaurant. The fact that these three were very close made my stay enjoyable as I could have a swim or go to the spa before lunch or dinner. I highly recommend booking an afternoon at the Body Temple Spa for the Balinese massage. That's the one I had and it was amazing!
If you are on a business trip, you will also find very nice conference rooms and a business center within the hotel. The reception area is quite unique and interesting because its like a mini-gallery showcasing art from local artists.
As for dining options, I ate at both the restaurant and bar with my two favourite meals being the Tandoori Chicken from the restaurant and what I call the best club sandwich I have ever eaten in my life!
The location of The Moorhouse is actually great because its not too far from Lagos Island where you can find wholesale markets such as Idumota and Balogun markets to buy Nigerian clothes and food stuffs. Also on Lagos Island is the Onikan National Museum, The City Mall, and Freedom Park to name a few.
Keep in mind that The Moorhouse is located in a predominantly residential area, which makes it quite and nice. However, I'd like to point out a hidden gem in the area that is The Omenka Gallery. It's also a restaurant with panoramic views of the ocean. You can have lunch as well as check out the current exhibition. I will say that the chapman fruit drink on the menu paired with the fries / potato chips and snail stew is delicious!
Another nearby place is Victoria Island which has a lot more restaurants, and fast food places such as Domino's Pizza, Cold Stone Ice Cream, and Nigeria restaurant Yellow Chilli. The Didi Museum is also in Victoria Island and has a good collection of Nigerian Contemporary Art.
Further down from Ikoyi and Victoria Island is the residential area of Lekki, where you may encounter a lot of traffic depending on what time you go. In Lekki, at the shopping Center called The Palms, you can find restaurants as well as shops like Mango, Hugo Boss and Etam to name a few.
Overall, I had a great stay and slept exceptionally well because the beds are very comfortable. The staff is very friendly, welcoming and most of all answer requests as timely as they can.
Lastly, the hotel does have a private car hire service that you can subscribe to if you need to get around town. Next time you take a trip to Lagos, do make sure to stop by The Moorhouse Hotel.You will not be disappointed.

The new poster child for playing with pain
February 14, 2013 10:00 AM
L.A.'s Morning News: Phil Hulett and Penny Griego
Weekdays, 5 a.m. -9 a.m.Read More
When you think of tough athletes, you might not think about golfers. Until you hear the story of rookie Daniela Holmqvist of Sweeden on the Ladies' European Tour. She was four holes into the second round in a tournament in Australia when she was bitten by a black widow spider.
Her leg started to swell; the pain was intense. She was told it could be fatal.
So Daniela pulled a golf tee out of her pocket, used the sharp end to puncture the wound, squeezed out what she described as a clear fluid, and then finished the round — 14 more holes — limping all the way.
She only shot a 74 and didn't make the cut, but I think we can "cut" her some slack.

It pretty much says that we are looking for a 4th round choice but will probably get a 5th rounder. It also says that the Redskins seem to be interested. I am curious to see what the rest of the story has to say... maybe something about a Kelsey trade (at-least I hope so).
I think it would be great for us to get a 4th and a 5th for Roscoe and Kelsey. I think it would set us up great to move up in the draft. If we unloaded Kelsey's and Roscoe's salary, it would allow us to move up and possibly have an extra 1st (give us 3) or 2nd (give us 2) or another 3rd and be able to afford the salaries.
What do you guys think of the rumor?
What do you think of paragraph two?

Sam Tevi and Sean Barton are exploring all options but put nobody above the Utes…
I think both of these guys would be important recruits to land this summer
Barton to me along with Lowell are must gets… but getting a 6'6 270 lb DE from Trinity would be huge as well … I heard for Sam it is between us and Arkansas… hopefully with their coaching issues and our stability he will make the right choice!!
Anyone else got new info?
oh P.s. we also landed Parker Van Dyke for hoops outta East High school...

I hereby declare that the staff in @schuhshoes Chapelfield Norwich are ruddy lovely! :)

Just thought I had to let you know that we have received exemplary service again from your Chapelfield Norwich store. We have shopped there as a family for years, previously using your other store at the back of the Inns Norwich.
I don't know how you train your Managers and staff but whatever it is you do, It is ensuring that they deliver consistently good customer service every time we shop there. We are a family of five including three teenagers and own about 12 pairs of Vans plus DM's and others as well and the first and usually last place we go is to Schuh.
You staff at this store are superb and I would be happy for you to forward this to them to let them know that we as customers think they are great.
Well done and keep it up !
Mrs D J Foulds 01/08/2012
Extremely impressed with the whole experience of shopping with Schuh, both in store and on line.. The staff are welcoming, attentive and most helpful and the store has a truly happy atmosphere. Thank you.
Demelza 15/08/2012
I had a really positive experience whilst shopping at the Norwich Chapelfield branch. Yesterday the lady who served me was really nice and positive. After I got my new shoes home yesterday, I decided that the hush puppies I tried on were much more comfortable and I could wear with them with a lot more outfits. So I returned the shoes I bought yesterday today, spoke to the same lady and another lady who helped me with their shoe fitting (I don't know their names-sorry) and bought the hush puppies instead but they were both really helpful and I commented to the lady serving me that everyone is really nice in here. I can definitely notice the difference between the staff here in Schuh compared to the other leading shoe shops and will seek you out again when I next go shoe shopping.

Mrs J A Deighton-Drewry 14/06/2013
Bought new trainers for sons 13th birthday. My son said Robbie was awesome and would definitely recommend him. Speedy, polite, not pushy but still very professional - just what you want when you're looking at schuh's )
Many thanks, we'll be back
G Kelly 18/06/2013
The service was great and everyone was very helpful especially Cal who made sure that we got everything we wanted
Lily Pace 29/08/2012
I was very impressed with the service in this store. I'd only been in the store 5 minutes and i had already been asked 3 times if I was alright and if I needed help looking for anything. Once I found the shoes I wanted it was very quick for the right size to be brought to me. When I was unsure of what colour to get the lady gave her opinion and also showed me the other colour on a screen so I could see both as the green were not in stock. She also added that they could be delivered the next day to my house if that was the colour I wanted. I was then taken to the till where the order was processed. I've done next day delivery from other shops before and been waiting all day but they said they would arrive from 9am and they arrived at 9:05. I was very pleased. I was also impressed with the twitter account for schuh as once I had tweeted about how pleased I was with the delivery they interacted with me and asked what shoes I had bought etc. I will definetly be shopping from schuh again. Thank you for an excellent service.
Elliott 16/09/2012
Fantastic service, patient, kind, understanding and fast too. Have noticed this often on my last three footwear purchases and I now specifically choose to get all shoes from schuh because of the great service coupled with brilliant variety. Thanx guys! Elliott
Andrew McCarthy 03/09/2012
Very efficient service, very friendly staff, therefore very satisfied with my purchase, (p.s. shoes are good as well !!!).
Timothy Hunt 04/09/2012
I feel people never get feedback where it is deserved so thought I would make the effort to comment on the usual brilliant customer service in Chapelfield Norwich. The staff are always willing to help and Ive never walked in without receiving a friendly hello!
I must have sent the poor girl downstairs 4 times for the same pair of toms. If it wasn't for her helpfulness I wouldn't have purchased them. She also has a good chat with me in terms of what clothes to wear with the new toms I purchased which gave me even more incentive to purchase them.
So I cant thank Charlie enough for her help and advice as well as I think Ash who had many trips downstairs due to my indecisive mind! I look forward to going back to get new "shuh's" soon :D
Cheers guys!
Leah Wells 19/09/2012
Adam was extremely helpful and pleasant. Both my husband I bought shoes and he paid extra attention to help my husband pick new shoelaces eventhough the store was imminently closing. He provided the best customer service I have recieved in a very long time (in any shop). Thanks Adam!
Wendy Emerson 25/09/2012
It is always a pleasure to shop in this store because the staff are
always so friendly and helpful. The young male manager is a
credit to your company and I hope you will pass on my compliments
to him for a well-run, busy yet somehow personal store.
Best wishes
Wendy Emerson
Debra Huggins 29/09/2012
All staff who served me (3, as I had a pair of boots held for me) were friendly, polite and efficient. They were knowledgeable about the shoes and the Company. A very pleasant experience. All the staff were smiley and seemed happy in their work. So thank you Schuh in Norwich, I'm a very happy customer:)
Rebecca Kirkby 30/09/2012
The assistant (Fran) was very friendly, helpful and provided fast efficient service. She really made me feel very happy and confident in my service! The cashier (Elise) was also very friendly and quick and efficient. Extremely happy with both purchase and service. Will definitely come again.
Nicola 13/10/2012
Great friendly personal service from George (who was helping Zoe on her first day). Really impressed with speed of service, advice given and polite, friendly approach of all the staff.
Sophie Hughes 12/10/2012
I would just like to commend the Norwich store's staff for doing such a good job yesterday evening (Thursday 11th October). I had gone to buy some shoes without realising there was a special "student" night on and Chapelfield shopping centre was a complete nightmare for any non-student shopper!
The staff were efficient and courteous at a very busy time. Ross and Craig both served me and were helpful and knowledgable.
Welldone for excellent customer service!
sally 29/10/2012
I dont normally review purchases or stores but after a brilliant service from you I had to write this. Yesterday I spent 4 hours shopping for winter boots. I am a size 3 (which apparently is a massive problem) and every single shop I went in didnt have any boots that I liked in my size. All of the staff in all of the shops were unhelpful & completely disinterested. The staff in your Norwich branch were brilliant. The customer service was exceptional. The staff were all really friendly, and the girl who helped me spent ages finding me the boots i liked. They were the 1st shop I had been in all day that had a selection of size 3 boots for me to try on. They didnt have the colour of the ones I liked in stocked but I had it delivered free of charge to my house. They said they would be delivered within 2 days but they have actually turned up this morning at 8am which is less than 24 hours. All in all an absolutely brilliant service from start to finish!!
rachel soanes 03/11/2012
Smiffy was really friendly, but had a proffessional attitude. He made me feel at ease and chatted to me like i was a friend.
sandra 18/10/2012
just great from the minute i arrived in store to leaveing had so much help from a number of members of staff and made me feel relaxed and not rushed thank you so very much and you have excellent staff xx
Richard 14/10/2012
Always good service in store. Welcomed into store by Holly, served by Ollie.
Good selection of shoes and accessories.
Laura Trett 16/10/2012
Today I visited your store and was very pleased with the service I received. I was served by the lovely Ketch she was polite, VERY helpful and honest. I knew that I wanted to purchase Ugg boots, but needed advice on sizing and Ketch was informative and honest. I ended up buying some converse trainers as well. I enjoyed my shopping experience today. Nothing was too much for her, she was about when I needed guidance but not at all pushy. Ketch is a brilliant member of your team and I would love you to pass this on to her. Many thanks Laura Trett.
Rob Hussey 10/11/2012
After being convinced that I 'needed' a pair of Tom's I went into the shop to try some on, I had 2 assistants ask me if I needed help and they were excellent. I thought I would try my luck and ask if you did Student Discount and what do you know.....you did! Overall 10/10 on all aspects, the cashier was exceptionally cheerful as I wanted to put the Toms on straight away so she gave me a bag to put my old shoes in and off I went in my new daps. I haven't taken them off yet and can see myself being back again soon to purchase another pair.
Daisy 21/11/2012

marsha 25/11/2012
Please pass on our thanks to Will who completely understood our teenage daughter and was so helpful.
Rachel Holliday 23/11/2012
Friendly welcome, attentive and efficient service. Made to feel that little bit special, which is difficult to achieve in a busy store. Of course, the footwear is lovely - I could buy it all!
sue hopkins 25/11/2012
I would just like to feedback how helpful your shop assistant Fran was whilst my daughter was trying on shoes. The shop was busy but she did not rush her and spent time helpping her to get the right fit and size (we ended up buying two pairs!). She made the experience a pleasure and deserves to be congratulated. Elise on the till was also friendly and helpful.
Megan 01/12/2012
Love My new pair of shoes and love this store :)
sean harvey 02/12/2012
Just visited your store in Norwich and bought a couple of pairs of boots for my wife. We were served by Zoe how my heart sank when i saw yet another fresh out of collage student. God how wrong was I she made me feel at ease straight away which is not easy with a cynical old git like me.
She really new her job and her enthusiasm shone through not once was I called mate or meet with raised eyebrows she is a real asset to your company look after her and dont loose her.
Mary Butcher 03/12/2012
I would just like to say many thanks to your excellent service I experienced in your Norwich store, Chalepfield the staff were so helpful and friendly, it made shopping for my husbands' shoes a nice experience! Many thanks to the lady who assisted us.
Debbie 05/12/2012
today was the day i realised i am not a 5.5-6 like i've always thought, but a 7!!! i did check this out with the assistants in several stores btw, not just yours! loved these boots and so bought from you. very nice assistant, as normally i wouldn't leave feedback but have finally got round to it - have a good Christmas :)
Lance 06/12/2012
We live in Spain and the last 2 years have gone to this shop and are always really impressed with the staff and how friendly and efficient they are! The boss man(or Woman) should be very proud of his team!!!
Sue Baxter 27/05/2013
Very Helpful Staff who are only to happy to help,Thank you for a stress free shop, would be only to happy to buy from Schuh again.
Well done for getting it right Team !
Dave Clubley 31/05/2013
I had a very pleasant experience and due to this experience I eventually biught 3 pairs of shoes- unheard of with me!
tara watson 29/05/2013
just to say we have been into Shuh today, to buy our shoes and had the most fantastic experience, all the staff we encountered were so polite and courteous and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and it is so lovely to be greeted by staff in a shop that actually seem proud of their jobs and their workplace, which of course they should be! We shall shop nowhere else for our casual shoes from now on because of the service. Thank you!
kind regards
Tara Watson ( Norwich store)
Shannon 02/01/2013
Brilliant service very polite workers start convosations with you
Steve 03/01/2013
The store members where really helpful, as soon as we walked in, someone greeted us with a cheery hello, and when we couldn't find what we wanted, they where more than willing to help, and had a chat as we tried shoes on, overall no faults at all, i wouldn't hesitate to go back
Sarah Tiddy 05/01/2013
The staff in store at Norwich Chapelfield are regularly helpful and very pleasant to deal with. On the 2nd of Jan this year the young woman named Catty who assisted us with buying Converse trainers was more than that - very patient when confronted with an indecisive (and often mute!) 14 year old and his older brothers, and just lovely in helping us make his purchase, offering to show him other colours and order online if necessary. Her supervisor was also on hand ready to help.
It's nice to have such good service from young people.
Fabulous store, extremely helpful staff. You should be very proud of this store. Ugg boots i wanted were sold out, they were delivered to my home address within 24 hours. Would recommend this store at anyone.
janine eckett 07/01/2013
the young lad george was very helpful. i am disabled and he explained every thing to me to help me. All the other guys were very helpful aswell
Hannah Turnbull 06/01/2013
Just wanted to say how impressed I was with the customer service I received at your Norwich store. The staff I spoke to were really helpful and enthusiastic and couldn't do enough to help.
Heather Hasthorpe 10/01/2013
Served by Kesha on Saturday 6th January 2013. I Purchased a pair of Irregular Choice Sali size 5 shoes (£75).
Service was excellent ,despite a very busy post Christmas Saturday in the city. This young lady was energetic, accomodating, patient and was as enthusiastic about my choice as I was ! she kindly pointed out a matching bag , which happened to be on sale which I purchased also (£25).
I had difficulty with sizing, as I often do with some Irregular Choice styles, she happily brought a smaller size, 1/4 insoles for the larger size until I was happy, and reminded me that when I got home if they were not right they could be returned.
I was delighted with the service and my purchases. I would be very grateful if my gratitude could be conveyed from Head Office to this young girl, hard working, energy and eagerness are attributes which should be rewarded and valued.
lee 06/01/2013
service was quick and all staff where friendly.
Joshua Easter 11/01/2013
I bought some Nikes today and was helped by Holly, shoes are great and I'm very happy with the help I received in choosing them. Thanks!
Victoria Strange 21/07/2013
Hi there! Yesterday I visited your store for the first time, and I was so impressed with your staff that I decided I would take the time to leave feedback. The young lady who served me was called Holly, she was very friendly and helpful and took the time to make sure I was happy with the shoes I bought. I also spoke to a lady who had lots of tattoo's, cant remember her name, but as I was interested in getting one I asked her if there were any tattoo shops nearby, her and another colleague both suggested a few for me. Also the lady on the till was friendly. I was most impressed. I wish all shops had such a friendly, helpful and welcoming attitude! I would appreciate if you would pass on my thanks to the store. Kind regards, Vicky Strange :)
J Nowell 18/07/2013
Served by Syd. Very helpful and obliging. Interesting conversation as to how he came into shoes! So good to meet someone who really enjoys his job. Good luck to him.
stuart clarke 20/07/2013
Excellent customer service. Slight blemish on one trainer, but a renegotiation on price was more than acceptable. All credit to the sales person that served me.
Kris Pye 20/07/2013
Very Good, All staff in that store a polite and helpful.
Rory Harty 27/07/2013
Dear Sir/Madam,
Today I was in your store with my 8 year old daughter looking at options for shoes for her.
We had the pleasure of of being served by an exceptionally professional,friendly and patient lady named Zoe.
She took the time on a busy Saturday afternoon to measure my daughters foot,let her know that there was no pressure in deciding the right shoe,colour and acclimatising to different fits per varied shoe make. As any shy 8 year old would be,I was highly impressed with the time this lady took to chat to her and make her feel comfortable.
Not only did this lady provide a great service. She was simply doing what comes naturally to her by putting my daughter at ease at a time that is always a chore when getting new shoes but she also rekindled my faith that when shopping,you are not just a number anymore and that some staff are able to befriend you as a customer and understand that we are all normal people going about our days.
As a person that has dealt with companies for many years who provide services to the public,it is only right that I acknowledge to you (Schuh) how excellent this store has always been in their customer service and is obvious in talent as such as Zoe's.
A statement in itself,I entered Schuh to purchase shoe's for my daughter,which was successful,while also leaving with a pair myself !
Kind regard's,
Rory Harty
Lisa rutland 28/07/2013
Staff got it just right in terms of helpfulness, not too overbearing but friendly, helpful, polite. Genuinely really pleased with the service, nothing bad to say at all, perfect
Clive Ellis 29/07/2013
The assistant Raph was really helpful, attentive and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he seemed to genuinely enjoy his work. The cashier Ketch was very efficient dealing with my purchase. Overall the best 'shoe-shopping' experience I've had.
Edwin Carass 29/07/2013
very good helpful service, friendly member of staff. Gave all the details about refunds and returns.
Matt Clark 30/07/2013
Good, but didn't feel like a personal service.
jacques 28/07/2013
brilliant as allways
Mrs K O'Shaughnessy 15/08/2014
I went into the chapelfield store in Norwich on 14/8/14 at around 9am, I was greeted at the door with a genuine smile and asked if I needed any help, I said what I was looking for and was pointed in the direction I needed, the guy, Adam, left me to look and said to call if I needed help. Once I called him over he was very attentive and interacted with my little girl brilliantly, as he measured her feet he spoke to her like a mini adult not in a patronising way, he found the shoes in the size we needed and was concerned about slipping at the heel, he was fantastic and patient while we tried the smaller size on and didn't rush or try to sell us Ill fitting shoes. He was courteous and made a normally horrid experience shopping with a 4yr old a pleasure. Also the cashier Anna was polite and helpful. A real pleasurable experience shopping in the store. I hope this gets passed on to them as they both deserve the credit.
Rod Moyse 15/08/2014
I was looked after by Georgia who really was just brilliant.....and patient.
I came in looking for burgandy Pumas and left with Adidas and Vans. I have big feet and she made sure I got to try everything possible that might fit. it seemed like she really cared that I got what I wanted. Kudos to the till guy who suggested I leave a review, he was good as well.
Whilst I am lavishing praise, top marks to the store as well for stocking 12 and 13s in great styles.
George Saul 21/08/2014
I recently attended the Schuh store in Chapelfield Norwich and was very pleased with the service I received.
The Sales assistant (097 Catty) was extremely attentive and very knowledgeable/helpful in assisting me with purchasing 2 pairs of shoes. I was in and out of the shop in under 10 minutes without any problems or unnecessary holdups and I strongly believe this is due to the fantastic level of polite and efficient service that I received. It is because of this I will certainly be attending the same shop again the next time I require a new pair of shoes.
It is my belief that staff of this calibre are a rare find and certainly worth praise, further responsibilities and reward wherever the employer sees fit in order that they maintain their high levels of service and inspire other members of star to follow suit.
All in all I was very happy with my recent visit to your store, it's also worth mentioning that the manageress (Unfortunately I don't know her name or number as it is not on my receipt but it was at 14.18 on 19/08/2014) was very polite and efficient at having me seen by a member of her staff and even the cashier (086 George) was friendly and chirpy at the till. My congratulations to them all on running a very welcoming and tight operation.
dawn landers 19/08/2014
just like to say how very pleasant staff were very helpful especially Thomas and Adam thankyou very much it makes a big difference to shopping when staff are so pleasant
Sarah Holmes 01/08/2013
I have been to your chapelfield store 4 times in the past couple of months and have purchased exactly what I wanted each time (even when on two of the occasions I didn't even know what I wanted!!)
Honestly, Your staff are extremely helpful and I cant recommend them enough. Fantastic customer service :)
Zoe shaw 01/08/2013
Friendly customer service from Robbie, quick but thorough!
Sassy Hutchings 07/08/2013
Excellent service, clean store.
Hayley Nixon 19/01/2013
Excellent service!! Ollie was extremely helpful, couldn't ask for more.
Robyn Thomas 26/01/2013
I work in a shop where I have to tag line, so when I came in it was really nice to be greeted! The shop was so busy but three staff associates asked me if I needed any help so I didn't feel like I was any hassle. One man gave me an alternative way to buy the product I was after which was so helpful and easy! Staff associate at the tills was friendly and when I left I was tagged lined again! All in all, I felt welcomed and I would definitely go back to the store as the associates make shopping easy and stress free!
Gemma Dawson 28/01/2013
I have recently bought a new pair of Converse All-Stars from the Norwich Chapelfield centre, when i arrived the staff there were attentive as soon as they saw me browsing. When i finally chose the pair i liked, one of the members of staff was there to get my size and gave good advice about the shoes that i purchased, that staff member was George. I am very happy with the customer service that i got and i will definitely be shopping in that store again.
Sarah Partridge 01/02/2013
Holly was brilliant, she was there when I needed her but not pushy. I asked for her opinion about age appropriateness and she was thoughtful and responded with a relevant personal situation. It was appropriate and made the interaction warmer whilst still being professional. It made her more trustworthy and improved the shopping experience. I was actually impressed by how friendly all of the staff seemed. I liked that the staff were a variety of ages and different sizes. It was refreshing to see staff that were larger women and ones with tattoos, rather than the stereotype of a salesperson in a fashionable store. I was impressend with the culture of hiring people because of their personality rather than because their face fits. Star rating 5 as that box doesn't seem to work.
Amy 17/06/2013
So much choice, it took me a while to make a decision:)
Assistant was really helpful in getting my size, fast and the man behind the counter was friendly and SMILED (which you don't see very often nowadays).
And my shoes... I love them.
Peace and love.
L Roberts 17/06/2013
Jess was excellent
Very good service and extremely polite and helpful glance why I bought them from your store she is a great asset
Sally Ford 20/06/2013
Fantastic helpful staff super quick delivery from the store and online. The best delivery time of any online retailer I use by a mile...which is why I continue to keep ordering. Well done!
Laura greaves 25/06/2013
Robbie my sales person was very helpful and friendly, would definitely go there again
Laura Tomaszewski 06/10/2013
Really happy with my purchase of my low blazers, my assistant was Robbie and he was very helpful with my choice of colour as i was very unsure. He was very helpful and friendly, also able to advise me that they do come up quite small. My choice took a while and i tried a few pairs on but felt very at ease and not rushed. Thankyou for my shoes! X
Tony Francis 06/10/2013
Excellent service and advise.
Barbara Ingram 07/10/2013
Bought some shoes/trainers for my Granddaughter and found the staff so very pleasant and friendly. We were served by Katy and she was so patient and helpful. She was so very nice and nothing was too much trouble and it was with her help we made our purchase.
It was an enjoyable visit and my Granddaughter was extremely happy with the shoes.
Joseph 06/10/2013
What a FANTASTIC shopping experience! After being made to feel welcome as soon as I had entered the store, and having had a short time to browse, I was asked by Charlee whether I needed any assistance. Despite being ever so picky and difficult to please, Charlee did not leave my side until I found a pair of shoes that suited. Not only was she ever so polite, and helpful, but extremely efficient and patient, and in my opinion went above and beyond what was expected of her. The level of customer service within this store was, in my experience, exceptional, and puts many other vendors to shame.
sheila sheward 11/10/2013
Fab and professional customer service from Robbie in the Norwich Store (have never been offered the name of a shoe store sales advisor before!). Robbie reserved a pair of shoes while I went off to make a decision about my purchase. He recognised me when I returned to the store and was again extremely patient and helpfuI. Oh, and I did buy the shoes:-). By the way, Schuh's 'reservation' system is excellent too!!
Bridget Fielden 16/10/2013
I had excellent service from Holly, who was friendly and helpful. She fitted me with a new pair of Skechers to replace my old ones and she took time to show me all that was on offer.
Maggie 15/10/2013
I had never shopped at Schuh before - bought a great value pair of Converse in the sale, and got really good help and advice from Robbie who served me - most impressed
Angie Hewitt 16/09/2013
Love shopping in the Schuh store.
Staff are always very pleasant & helpful, making me feel comfortable & not intimidated. As a pensioner this is very important to me.
Amy 17/09/2013
Staff really helpful and friendly.
Good range of stock
Excellent service,will be back again :)
Francesca 22/09/2013
All staff were extremely helpful and polite from the minute we walked in to the store until the moment we left, I couldn't fault them on anything.
Rod Jermyn 10/02/2013

Always impressed when shopping in Norwich Schuh - all staff are consistently upbeat, helpful and friendly, and I appreciate their patience as I have size 13's and find shoe shopping a nightmare! Terrific store.
Rachel 10/02/2013
Holly was really helpful
thank you
ellen johnson 18/02/2013
All people were extremely friendly, helpful and up for a quick chat. I was tendered to from the moment i walked into the store to when i left. I was served by Robbie, he was very nice and extremely helpful. Keep it up Norwich! xo
Jane Brammer 31/08/2013
Popped in on possibly the worst day of the year - Back to school shoe shopping Saturday, but the two staff I saw were friendly and polite, really helpful and couldn't do enough for me.
Ollie and ?Leo? I think - quite shy but very helpful without being over familar. He responded and answered my questions quickly, found my shoes and made the whole process really easy. And he explained the one year return.. Brilliant idea!
Like the fact there is always someone at the till to pay for stuff.. And love the atmosphere in your stores. Thanks!
Jayne thetford 06/08/2013
Fabulous shopping experience! Very friendly reception by Rob. Shoes we had reserved appeared in seconds and nothing was too much trouble as my daughter decided which shoes she wanted. Outstanding personal service continued at the till.....best shop we've been in for ages! Well done schuh,many thanks.
Daniel Mallett 14/08/2013
Very impressed with the service
Joanne Hayward 16/08/2013
Robbie was very efficient and helpful.
Visited Schu Store today, the assistant Robbie was extremely helpful, approachable, and I would certainly visit and purchase from him again.
Also, I had a further querie and rang and spoke to an Assistant called Cath, who was also very helpful. Very rare nowadays to find this level of service, well done, 10 out of 10 for customer service.

Great service every time we visit your stores. other shoe retailers should take note ! nothing is too much trouble and staff are always on hand to help with friendly efficiency. Never had to wait long even when shop is busy. recommend schuh to everyone.
Gemma Love 12/07/2013
Getting my 2 year old a pair of converse turned out to be a fun fast enjoyable experience!!! Totally recommended to all my friends!!
Paul Martin 12/07/2013
I visited the store on two occasions. The first to buy some trainers but they werent in stock so the top bloke ordered them into store. I thought at the time I staff were friendly saying hello and asking if they could help several times. I thought this might of just been a fluke, maybe someone brought in Haribo to share that day. When i came back to collect the trainers the staff were just as helpful. On both visits i was apologized to for being kept waiting although it was only 30 secs or so. I never usually leave feedback or review my experiences but I was so impressed I felt the urge. I will be buying all my footwear from you from now on. Im not sure of the order number as im at work but if you want to give whoever a pat on the back email me and ill dig out the reciept.
Thanks again, Paul Martin
Rachel H 19/07/2013
Got some great shoes on sale. Staff were really helpful and easy to find. They were also very friendly and chatty to me and my friends when we approached them for help. I'm really happy with the purchase as well as my experience in the store.
Osten 29/10/2013
Great customer service, really attentive staff who have great knowledge on their stock, really happy I bought my shoes from here
Lindsay Kearney 19/10/2013
As I walked the length of the store, at least six different associates made themselves known to me, that if I needed anything to let them know. Then Fran helped me with the shoes I thought I wanted (which I ended up loving, and buying), and was very pleasant to chat to aside. I usually dread shoe shopping, but this wasn't even the slightest bit painful. Add the 10% off student discount, and I'd call this an extremely successful shopping trip.
tonia jillings 19/10/2013
i was served by josh and Robby and although i hate shopping they made a brilliant and quick experience of it and found me just what i needed. they were both upbeat and were alot nicer to me than they needed to be really! which made me feel like i was the only customer they had, when actually i could see they had lots going on in the store!
i appreciated their help as i dont shop very often and to me i was spending alot of money, they both tried to relay that i could bring back the shoes if not happy/guarentee, the following week i took my daughter back to buy trainers, i cant remember who served me then , but again , your norwich store staff shone out and deserve a mention!
ian cooper 01/06/2013
very helpful chap exchanged my daughters vans excellent service
glyn 03/01/2014
Cant believe how helpful and friendly the staff in this store are. Whenever go in there even when just browsing everyone seems genuinely happy and attentive. Makes a lovely change as sadly in most stores staff seem disinterested. Well done - very impressed!
Excellent service, would go back again
Chris Ridley 06/04/2013
Thanks to the Smiffy guy for being super helpful in helping me find what I was looking for. Much appreciated!
Ethan van-riel 09/04/2013
i was severed by a nice boy called robbie the service was amazing, very fast and efficient. even though we was the last people in the store we didn't feel rushed he was very helpful in finding the right sizes :)
Matthew blower 11/04/2013
Zoe in the chapelfield store in Norwich was fantastic, she was bright and bubbly good at holding a conversation and very approachable and engaging.
Hayden Key 16/08/2013
Cashier 042 AKA Robbie was extremely helpful during my visit, he helped me with everything and answered all questions and was extremely polite.
Mrs J A Deighton-Drewry 22/08/2013
We came in yesterday with 3 of our 4 children, having just spent about an hour in a chaotic Clarks for school shoes so as you can imagine the younger two were suffering from a bit of cabin fever.
Ketch who served us was brilliant and had a great rappor and patience with the kids which makes the experience so much easier - when you have any kids you need any shopping experience to be as smooth an un wearing as possible - especially when you have 4!!
Most of the shoes I buy are from Schuh and I'm happy to buy the kids shoes from here too because firstly the staff are genuinely helpful and go out of their way to make your shopping experience as good as possible without being in your face. secondly I've only had one fault with a pair of boots I've bought from Schuh which was a couple of years ago now and the staff resolved the problem really quickly for me.
This is the sort of service you expect but sadly don't get from every shoe shop which is why I don't have any hesitation in recommending Schuh and the Norwich store.
J Fleming 23/08/2013
The assistant who helped us, Holly, was extremely helpfull, polite and steered us and our 13 year old daughter towards very sensible school shoes without any shouts of " but they're frumpy Dad". She is a credit to your organisation
Jane Bennett 15/04/2013
I came in yesterday and was greeted, as normal, by a smiling young chap. I was then approached by a blonde girl with glasses and she was fantastic! She took me round the shop showing me what would be the best shoe for comfort and style as I am 8 months pregnant and my feet are killing me!! We spoke about babies etc, as you do when you're a mother, but the best part of it was the fact that although she obviously missed her baby when she was at work, I could see that she clearly loved working at Schuh and took pride in her work. She really is a credit to your company! Unfortunately I had to leave early as I had to go pick up my daughter, but she was very helpful, I'm just so sorry I've forgotten her name!!
James 15/04/2013
Really good service from the moment I got to the store - all staff I spoke to were very friendly, particularly Guy, who went out of his way to make conversation and make customers feel at ease.
David Spooner 06/05/2013
Great assistance finding a gift. Good sizing advice. Excellent service with a smile.
Katherine Leggett 06/05/2013
The store was busy, but even so, the staff were friendly and attentive. Charly was especially helpful, nothing was too much trouble! It's really lovely to see customer service at its best. A special well done to Charly, who made me (an older lady) feel quite at home and not at all out of place.
Tim Handley 06/05/2013
The service in store by Ed was just perfect. Non intrusive but helpful, just what is needed in a store such as Schuh.
Jon 06/05/2013
It is rare these days to experience good customer service in shops, my experience yesterday was simply perfect. Every assistant I dealt with was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive, I felt like I mattered to them. Your selection and training are a credit to Schuh, your staff are shining examples of how to get it right, it was a pleasure to shop in your store.
Thank you, my first visit to Schuh, won't be my last!
Stephanie Jones 24/08/2014
I had an awesome shoe-buying experience today with Declan, great customer service and really personable - makes all the difference! Thanks :)
Kate O'Donovan 26/08/2014
Jess the sales assistant could not have been more helpful and patient. Nothing was too much for her and so we managed to all find a pair of shoes. Thank you Jess for making buying shoes an enjoyable experience!
Hollie Jennings 03/04/2013
Went into the store to find some casual summer shoes. Staff very quick to help and directed me to the suitable section. Suggested some shoes and found them in the sizes i thought i needed. Very polite and friendly. As they had the Style of converse i like but not the colour, i was shown to the in-store computer where i could browse the whole collection. I was able to order the shoes i wanted in the perfect colour and size all in the space of 5 minutes. I was kept updated the whole time about my order from the time i left the store via email and texts, including a thank-you email after i had received them. The service from Schuh was amazing and I wouldnt go anywhere else! Many thanks to everyone who helped me that day :)
susan morris 27/08/2013
what can I say very very helpful staff and found 2/3 staff actually wanting to help me. all very happy and wanting to help. very pleased with the service and would definitely recommend and would definitely go back
As I always say service counts for a lot
Well done NORWICH, definitely worth a pat on the back
Rhys 29/08/2013
Very helpful when selecting the right shoe, and there were a wide range of brands to look at. Danielle i think her name was, was also very helpful
Rebekah Denny 24/02/2013
I wanted to write and say how great a customer assistant Syd was to us yesterday. He was smiling, polite, busy but not hurried and happy to recommend, swap, order in and generally act like our shoe requirements were top priority to him whilst not over the top or smarmy. We work in customer service so we know this high level is important and thought we'd share finding it :)
Sue Butler 09/12/2012
A very helpful & friendly assistant whose name was Maria served me. 5 stars for the assistant, not for the cashier. As on the receipt the assistants name was Joey, The cashier couldn't remember the code no for Maria. I don't know if it makes a difference to the assistant, apart for number of sales. But if the assistant asks for her name to be given, then in some way it must be recorded/matter. Why isn't there a list of names with codes at the till, so the cashier can check instead of just putting anybodys code in!
Rob Woods 08/12/2012
Having spent 20 years in Retail management, I find myself constantly disappointed in the customer service levels in almost all modern chain stores, especially those staffed by young teenagers. However after my visit today to your store in Chapelfield Norwich, I would like to congratulate you on exceeding my expectations on numerous levels, The attention and care I received from your employee 'Ash' was very impressive, especially as the store was packed with customers. A big thumbs up to you and your teams! Thank you.
Chloe 14/12/2012
Very friendly and helpful staff. I'm always impressed by the customer service!! and the shoes are fab!
Stuart Pimlott 17/12/2012
All the staff i spoke to in the store were very helpful, friendly and approachable. when the shoes i wanted were not available in my size they offered to order them in without me asking.
Roy Mellor 27/09/2013
Excellent level of service in store. Definitely will go back next time I purchase shoes.
Velash Mistry 03/10/2013
Norwich chapelfield were very lovely and welcoming especially at such a busy student lock in event. A big thanks to Raph for helping me find my desired shoes. He was a great help.
Susan Haddrell 03/10/2013
Excellent service in store and fast delivery of ordered item.
Daniella Sewell 03/07/2013
Great service , very quick and efficient :)
Tom Southwell 03/07/2013
Really good service, fast and efficient.
Ethna Dillon 04/07/2013
Every business should take a close look at how you do things. I hate shopping so do a lot of research from the sofa!
Was browsing your website and made a stock enquiry, got text immediately saying item was in stock and being held in my local store. No payment taken at this stage. I then went into Schuh and from the second I walked through the door your staff were incredible. So helpful, even though shop was busy as sale had just started.
Initially dealt with Ross and then on way out of shop saw more shoes and was helped by Ash.
In the end couldn't decide, bought 4 pairs. Had time at home to make up my mind and then returned 3 pairs. Very happy customer.
Joe Russell 27/04/2013
Rory was really helpful. Found me the right shoes quickly and made it a pleasure to shop in the store.
Amy 21/04/2013
really nice friendly staff. Very helpful and didnt have to wait long to be helped. Happily shop there again
shirley barker 29/12/2012
We visited your store on 28/12/12 to look at the sale items. the shop was packed with lots of customers wanting the help of your employees. Despite the chaos and stress a young man called Craig McCloud (no.27) could not have been more helpful, courteous and generous with his time. Both my husband and myself purchased a pair of shoes because he wa was happy to look for different sizes etc. He made us feel like we were the only people in the shop despite it being so crowded and that nothing was too much trouble and he did all this with a genuine smile. He is a credit to your company!
For your records I have never met this lad before and he is no relations etc I was just very impressed by him.
Craig Civil 30/12/2012
Excellent service with a smile from Rebecca (103)
Matt Banham 09/05/2013
Fast and friendly service
Rob 13/05/2013
Extremely helpful, courteous and friendly staff. Almost always my first and last stop for shoes! Like the fact I'm free to browse without being pounced on as is so common now. Not my first visit, and definitely not my last. Well done all! 5*
Carol Roberts 11/05/2013
I never usually bother filling in these thingys but my experience was excellent. We were served by Will, an absolutely superb assistant, who was totally helpful and not at all pushy. A real asset to your team.
charlotte yalcin 12/05/2013
i was served today by Raph (think thats how he spelt his name) he was really friendly and patient as we wasnt sure what we wanted to buy and when we changed our mind he was ok about it even though whilst we was in there the store was really busy he gave a very good service and i would definately come back and buy instore after the service i recieved today i work in retail and know customers lack in giving good feedback and normally only give negative feedback
hope this is fed back to managers involved
Emma Rowley 18/05/2013
Really, really helpful. I got greeted straight away and were really friendly. I asked for a lot of shoes to be tried on and so were very patient.
Mrs Tracy Anderson 15/11/2013
Absolutely fantastic customer service from NATHAN at this Norwich store. Never been before but bought two pairs of boots because he was so fantastic at his job. He was polite, friendly, professional and really enthusiastic about the store and what he could offer me. FIRST CLASS SERVICE - THANK YOU VERY MUCH NATHAN. I will return to buy again and tell all my friends and family.
Louise Chadwickk 20/11/2013
Brilliant shopping experience! I now have a gorgeous pair of boots. We were staying overnight in Norwich to find some birthday boots - I have very wide feet and finding footwear's not easy. The ones I tried in your store were a great fit but the display pair the only ones in my size and the right one a bit scuffed. I was offered a discount for them or free delivery of a new pair to my door which I preferred. Got home next day and the boots had beaten me - ParcelForce had left them at my local Post Office and I collected them from there. Thank you.
Catherine Lock 25/11/2013
I have shopped in this store many times. I have to say some of the assistants look a little"alternative" but without fail they are all extremely helpful and nothing is ever too much trouble. They always give you their name and getting another size to try is never a problem. Today what i wanted wasn't available in store so they offered to order it for me and did all the arranging for me. I can honestly say this is one of the best shops to go in for politeness and helpfulness.
Paris cressy 25/11/2013
Great service quick efficient & friendly will definitely return.

becca prior 07/04/2014
noa, the cashier was really friendly and lovely to talk to.
robbie helped me and was also lovely
there was also another lad, louis i think his name was, who was extremely lovely and sweet and made me feel comfortable, he was also attractive with great hair which also makes shopping at Schuh better
Lisa 26/04/2014
The assistant was very helpful as I've never ever gotten around to buying DM's before. Yeah was more than happy with the how nice she was and how helpful on how to keep them looking clean.
Lindy Ellis 02/05/2014
Assistants seemed knowledgeable and helpful which resulted in me finding the shoes I wanted.
Chloe Furlong 03/05/2014

Kelly, Aidan, Lucy 30/06/2014
As soon as we entered the store, we were politely greeted by staff and all staff were enthusiastic to help. We were firstly served by Hattie, who was very helpful, polite, and had the whole family in stitches! she gave very good advice and knowledge of the brand (Timberlands) my husband was trying on, thank you Hattie! My daughter was later served by Catty, who was also incredibly helpful and enthusiastic to help us and again was polite and bubbly. We will definitely be returning to the Norwich Chapelfield store soon!

Mike Marten 09/06/2014
Very pleased with the service! Prompt, friendly, and efficient. Shame the shoes I bought weren't well made!
zak young 10/06/2014
Found what I was looking for but didn't get much in the way of assistance, effectively told I would have to simply look for those that were my daughters size. As she was a size 3 (junior) it proved difficult to find childrens shoes that fit her. Was quite disappointed that I was left to search without any form of help from the staff
Mrs Sue Jarvis 12/06/2014
I was very happy with the service I received. The staff were polite and could not have been more helpful.
Dee 22/01/2014
Bought a fabulous pair of burgundy suede shoes in the sale - absolute bargain - so much choice!
Staff were very friendly as usual, great store :)
Samantha sokell 01/02/2014
I bought a pair of Uggs 3 years ago but hadn't worn them much. I wore them this week and the zip became faulty. I took them back to Schuh, Chapelfield (not the branch) I'd bought them from and they changed them straight away without any problems whatsoever. What a great service, really impressed!!!
Thanks to Jake & Adam!
Hannah Applegate 05/02/2014
Molly Shreeve 01/02/2014
I was greeted with a warm welcome by all members of staff, and I was always asked if i needed help. The assistant who helped me was Zen who got all the shoes I liked, if they didn't have the size he got me shoes in a different colour but offered to order them for me, very helpful! He wished me a good day, and made me laugh and feel welcomed, he did not rush me and was pleasant and patient throughout my visit. I am very happy and pleased with the service that was provided! Thank you!!
Jasmin Milller 09/08/2014

Eleanor Brown 07/08/2014
Munny was extremely friendly and helpful, couldn't have asked for service!
Nick 08/08/2014
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I visited your Norwich branch and was served by Caff and Holly. My daughter wanted a pair of shoes but they weren't available in her size in the store so your staff ordered a pair to be delivered to my home address. I was told they would arrive within 3 working days but they turned up the next day!!
I shall be visiting your store again soon if this is how we are treated.
Many thanks,
Nick and Emilia ??
Rebecca Brociek 07/07/2014
Have been in a couple of times, trying to decide which size toms to buy. After ordering in a 7 I took them home to find they were just too small. When I brought them back, no 8 was available. Brought them back today and Adam in Norwich store was very helpful. Cheers :)
Joelie Sleap 03/02/2014
Such good service when buying some 'Vans authentic slim peacock' trainers today in Norwich!
Great member of staff was very patient with me, getting me various sizes, getting me insoles to try on with them to see if that helped, and showing me all the various patterns that the shoes came in! Very helpful, chatty & friendly...all the reasons why I always love coming into Schuh and buying from you!
Jazz Rice 19/04/2014
Went to get 2 grandsons converse trainers for a wedding. Took one grandson with me 5yrs and was served by Noa who was exceptional. She was lovely, she interacted with him and at the same time was very efficient and polite as was the gentleman she called over to check the fitting. Both were a credit to your store wonderful customer service thank you Schuh.
jerry thompson 29/04/2014

I will definately go back you forget how nice it is to receive persoal service
Louise Lawes 24/02/2014
I would just like to say a 'BIG' thank you to Thomas from the Norwich store in the Chaplefield shopping centre.
We visited on Saturday 22/2/14 where we were served by him. It was my daughters 11th Birthday and he was such a great help and took the time to chat to us all and offer us great customer care.
mr nigel knights 25/02/2014

lorraine cox 24/02/2014
The assistant that served us was 103: Rebecca, who i chose to serve us the reason being that i felt mobbed when i was looking all the assistants are keen to help which is good but they were too keen the amount of times i had to say i will let you know was unreal, if it hadnt have been my daughters birthday and the fact that she wanted specific pairs of shoes i would have walked out and gone elsewhere. This is the reason i specifically then went to find rebecca and waited till she had finished serving the previous customer as she had asked us in a nice friendly unintrusive way she smiled and walked away quietly whereas most of the others were hanging around almost like they were about to pounce soon as you said something! i have given 4 starts simply for the way rebecca and the cashier served us only. I wont be rushing back to the store to buy!!!
Alex Kearns 25/02/2014
I was very impressed with how the store dealt with me, it felt as if nothing was too much to ask them. The assistant that dealt with me (Holly) was exceptionally good and explained all of my options and was very patient when I couldn't make my mind up!
I would be happy to shop in the store again and wouldn't hesitate recommending it to friends.
Jade 06/03/2014
Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Everyone said hello and helped me with my problem, one foot was bigger than the other so it was loose on the small foot. I was also pleased I had 1 year to bring them back if I changed my mind.
Finally the guy who served me Jake (048) was friendly, kind and WOW gorgeous.
joshua moore 13/03/2014

supakarn 25/07/2014
I can't use my own debit card which I brought from my country. However, there was a kind service :)
Angie Kelly 30/07/2014
Thank You, all good from shop to front door.
Jack 18/05/2014
Ash helped me find my shoes was fantastic! He stuck with me as I tried to find a comfy pair that fit. I couldn't of asked for more!
Carolyn 21/05/2014
All staff polite and smiley, more than Wiling to help, but left me to try in peace which is nice. They had a brilliant selection and both the sandals I had seen on their website and wanted to try on in-store. The guy who served me was very polite, maybe even looking like he was afraid of me a bit(!) but I got my sandals with no fuss on the shop floor and was served straight away on the till with speed and efficiency.
A very good shopping experience. I will return to the norwich store!
Sue 30/07/2014
I can't remember when I was in a shoe shop where every single person was smiling and friendly and went out of their way to help.... from being greeted at the door to whenI left the shop.
I am extremely pleased with my purchase!
A big thank you to all the staff at Norwich Schuh!!
Simon Withey 18/07/2014
This was my first ever purchase in your store. (I bought a pair of Beatles Yellow Submarine Vans).The assistant was Jess and she was absolutely brilliant and couldn't have been more helpful. She was so kind and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her. She was an absolute star, a real credit to your store.
Ella Henson 13/07/2014
I would just like to comment on the service I received whilst shopping in the schuh Chapelfield. The welcoming was very friendly, no matter how busy the shop was (and it was very busy) they were smiling. I felt the staff made a big effort to help especially a young guy Scott O'neill. He had a great knowledge of the shoes which was brilliant as I was shopping for my daughter so I had to get the right vans. he was very helpful and interacted with her which was great as you don't find that in a lot of other stores. He is a credit to your store! I was greeted by a friendly member of staff when paying for my shoes then wished a great day which was lovely. I will definitely shop there again!
Caroline Barnes 18/07/2014
Excellent service from shop to delivery?
Jamie bane 07/01/2014
Guy who served me, Ollie was really polite and a delight to talk to, made the hole ordeal of trying MANY shoes on easier after a stressful day! Delighted with the help and service I received today!
kate dennis 17/01/2014
Love the boots and the customer service was second to none
