Are Kurt Geiger shoes good quality?

Thanks for the feedback. I went ahead and ordered a couple of pairs to have a look at/try on. If they are as you say they'll probably go back. That said, for £33 a pair I'm not expecting masses.
You'll probably be returning them to my daughter if you do...they are very easy going with returns.I've had a few pairs of KG shoes (from KG and Shoeaholics) and they all lasted fine, certainly better than the couple of pairs of Jeffrey Wests I went through.
They're my "go-to" work shoe but I generally wait until there's a sale on and buy a couple of pairs at a time.
My opinion is somewhere in the middle of that lot /\/\/\ ...they last me about 6 months of daily (Mon-Fri) wear by which point they're by no means hanging but the heel is starting to wear and they're feeling a bit worn, so I'll bin them.

Leave well alone. They are shockingly bad quality and the customer service is appauling.
I bought a pair of brown brouges from the outlet in Swindon, wore on a night out in Stoke on Trent and nearby Newcastle and they litterally fell apart.
Took them back to the shop who told me that they couldnt refund as they were sold in the sale. I had to quote the sales of goods act and only then did they give me a refund.
Avoid like the plague.

I had a pair, really comfortable straight from the off (which I rarely find in formal shoes). Lasted pretty damn well for about two years (I think) worn almost daily, no problems with the stitching as other posters seem to have experienced - the soles wore down, I was tempted to get them resoled they were that comfy, but in the end just replaced them.
For £45 they were fantastic.

I bought a pair of KG suede chukka boots and they were smart, looked good and comfortable.
Only issue is that they fell pretty much apart within 6 months, worn 2-3 days a week.
I replaced them with a pair of Geox boots of a very similar design, and while I paid another £35 for them in the first place, they're still going strong after 2 years.

Yes and no in my recent experience. Look at the composition of the shoes on the website, some have leather uppers, some don't (are they made from old MB-Tex vinyl seats from scrapped Mercs?!)
I've bought a fair few pairs for work over the years, but quality seems on the decline. I bought a pair on sale last week for work, only £49, they look fine but I have no doubt they won't last the year - but for the price I won't complain. Anyone who pays £100+ plus for them is nuts, they just aren't worth that.

Well they arrived. They don't fit me very well. I considered keeping one pair in the hope that the suede would stretch with use. Then I looked at the underside and saw the loose uneven stitching at the front that would clearly wear through within a few weeks and decided not to bother. Shame really as the website makes them look good.
Credit where it is due though, they are sending their courier to collect them next week. The service does seem very good.
