Some Facts About Schuh Shoes

 Schuh has had a very great year in 2010 with higher sales than ever before. A number of prestigious awards have also been won by this brand in the last financial year that has focused a lot of publicity as the fashion world and the business world both try to figure out where this brand has come from and how it has shot to success so soon. But the fact is that even though Schuh is seeing brilliant sales and all around success this year, it has actually been around and been popular for a long time. This year has just been the culmination of a decade long trend of rising sales and popularity for Schuh shoes.

The company takes its names from the German word for shoe which is Schuh hence some people will point out that having shoes in the name after Schuh is quite redundant but that is the name that the company was started with by the founder Sandy Alexander.

The brand is actually hitting its middle age right about now when it seems stronger and better than ever and Schuh shoes as a label will turn thirty years old in 2011. Sandy Alexander set up the company three decades ago in 1981 in Edinburgh. The beginnings of the brand were quite humble and at first Schuh was a single store in the North Bridge arcade in the beautiful city that is the capital of Scotland.
