Same, But Different At schuh, owning your style is everything. We’ve got a fearless attitude and a love for bold choices that stand out. Because honestly, life is too short for boring shoes or boring anything. We celebrate every quirk, every “did they really pull that off?” moment, and every glorious clash of patterns that somehow just works. With over 100 footwear stores across the UK, we’re proud to create a space where you can stomp, strut, or shuffle into your own style with zero judgement and full applause. We’ve always championed self-expression, and we’re not about to stop now. Unapologetic? Always. Extra? Absolutely. And we’re using our platform to Do More Good by spotlighting the communities that shape us, pushing for progress, and making change happen (with great shoes on, obviously). We’re the same schuh, but same looks different these days. Follow us, stick around, it’s gonna be a vibe.

OFFICE is a leading edge fashion footwear specialist, providing style conscious customers with innovative shoes to suit every occasion. We pride ourselves on our unique product range – created by our in-house design team and global brand partnerships, all of which are recognisable by their individuality, design and quality. OFFICE was first established in 1981 as a concession in the Capital’s department store of choice, ‘Hyper Hyper’. Our name was born from the fact we originally displayed our products on old office furniture; a quirky detail, which is representative of the brand to this day. We proved such a hit with London’s fashion scene that we opened our first stand-alone store on the Kings road in 1984. Since then we have continued to grow and acquire stores in some of the most celebrated shopping destinations across the UK and Germany. In 1996 OFFICE launched OFFSPRING a pioneering concept set to revolutionize the world of fashion sports retailing. OFFSPRING was the first sneaker store to fill the gap in the market for fashion sportswear, creating trainers with style at the forefront of their design. To this day OFFSPRING provides our customers with exclusive, limited edition styles, devised by collaborations with a multitude of must-have brands. OFFICE was acquired by Truworths International an investment holding and Management Company in December 2015. Truworths is a market-leading fashion apparel retailer in South Africa. The OFFICE Head Office team is based at our East London HQ, where a group of dedicated designers and buyers are consistently presenting pioneering and up-to-the minute trends. Our stores are filled with the best employees on the high street, who deliver passionate, inspiring and individual service to our customers every day. Today we have over 160 stores globally, and an evolving ecommerce platform, helping us to earn our reputation as a fashion leader on the British high street, as well as aiding our growth across the globe.
