Paul Smith

a very neat and tidy shop that is bright and visually appealing.
please note they stock only shoes and accessories.
since i was looking for a pair of their musa trainers, i decided that this must be the shop i should go to.
alas, i should not have been so presumptuous!
they didnt carry that particular pair designed by alan aldridge!
the staff was however really helpful in locating the shop i should go to to find it.
he also had the presence of mind to ask for my shoe size and checked that the shop he was redirecting me to had it in my size.
well done.
he then gave clear directions of how to get there and even drew a sketch of where the shop was.
despite not finding my trainers here, the service provided by the staff made the trip here a pleasant experience!

I was away for two weeks and returned home to find a lovely surprise: Paul Smith has opened a shoe store on Marylebone High Street right across from Coco Momo’s. After a year of watching boutiques close one after another, it was nice to see something new open for once.
The store caters to feet: shoes, boots and socks to be more specific. The front half of the store serves men while the back is devoted to women. You won’t find any clothing, housewares or fun toys that you might in other Paul Smith stores, but you will not be disappointed by the plethora of striped socks and boots that come in every fashionable color of the rainbow. Look hard and you might find a few scarves, charming leather gloves and even a necklace or two.
It might be because the store has just opened, but when I visited on Saturday there were about 6 sales people on hand to pounce on — err help — anyone who stepped across the threshold. They were polite and friendly, and not too pushy. Definitely a satisfying shoe shopping experience.
