Very good customer support, i received a pair of outdoor mules with defects under the inner sole in both shoes. I wrote an email explaining the problem, they requested pictures which i sent and they said they would issue a credit and that i would not have to return the defective pair which saved me good money since i live in Canada. I ordered an other pair of the same and they had two members of staff checked that they were perfect before sending them. Rapid delivery 6 days to Canada .

I live in the US and first saw the red boots on Mackinaw Island in Michigan, USA. I scoured the Internet to find them, as the place in Michigan didn't have my size. Begg had the red boots in my size. They arrived today, and I love them, and they fit perfectly. I wll be ordering again from Begg!!

Just received my third pair of boots from Begg Shoes. The range of footwear is fantastic. I've not found anywhere in Australia that has such a wide choice and the prices are very reasonable. Every pair of boots I've ordered have been really comfortable from day one. My orders have been posted very quickly and postage costs to Australia are also very reasonable. Would highly recommend Begg and Remonte and Rieker brands

Beggs are an excellent, privately run shoe company which I have had the pleasure to buy from for several years. They are professional and extremely helpful and I cannot fault them.

So pleased with the shoes I ordered arriving so quickly. Opening the box to find a handwritten message made my day. What a lovely personal touch. I need to come back to Inverness some day and visit the store in person.

Ordered some Skechers from Amazon, not really knowing where they were coming from.
When was the last time you got a hand written thank you note in an Amazon purchase?
Will buy direct next time for sure.
We have… good friends on Shetland and will definitely visit the shop next time we are up.
Thank you for prompt delivery and personal service.
Will highly recommend you guys to everyone.
Thank you, Bex and Danger from Somerset

My new shoes arrived promptly and in perfect condition with a hand written thank you note from the packer (Sophie) - always a lovely touch I think. I chose Beggs Shoes because of the competitive price and the fact that my order qualified for free P&P but I'll be using them in future because of the excellent service.

I have various issues with mobility and was dreading shoe shopping alone. I was amazed by how attentive and kind the staff were, even helping me out on socks and tie my shoes. I can't recommend the Union St store highly enough

Excellent service at Inverness Eastgate shop recently, I was looking to purchase boots and as I suffer with Arthritis it's not always easy getting suitable footwear. I was served by Mhairi who took the time to listen to my needs and was very helpful while I browsed.
I was extremely happy with the boots I purchased, excellent value for money and so comfortable.
I will definitely be returning in the future.

I absolutely love this shop. Every time i'm in town I pop in to see what's new. At the beginning of last winter I tasked Nikki the shop manager with the challenge of finding me new boots as I struggle. I wanted boots that zip past my calves, fleece lined, flat, chunky sole and water resistant. I was thrilled when she called to say I should pop in as the perfect pair had arrived. I can honestly say she found me the perfect boots, i wear them just about every day! So thank you!!!
