Finally I made it.

I am so delighted to be in the Clarks shop in Belfast city center today. The staff member "Jay" was so helpful in finding a good shoes for me. When I told him I am a nurse and needs to stand long hours , he immediately brought me to the section that fits my demand. Thank you so much Jay for your help. It was lovely meeting you and shopping in Clarks. All the very best.

Purchased school shoes for my son in July (did not wear them until September) They have holes on the bottoms, 6 months of wear and I have to purchase new ones. Have always purchased shoes from Clark’s, I will think again in the future. They are not cheap shoes, but normally good quality and would expect better. Emailed in and received a half arsed apology “ I have not identified any fault with the materials or construction, and I am therefore unable to assist you further.”
Really disappointed with the response and the poor quality shoes!

We visited Clark’s in Guildford to get both my children’s feet measured (3yr & 18months). My daughter who is the youngest and has only just started walking independently, has cried during the past couple of appointments however, Freya was so good with interacting with her, she was able to measure her feet with ease and try on a couple of pairs of shoes to find the right fit, giving regular praise and building a great report, so my daughter felt comfortable engaging with her. If made for a stress free and pleasant experience.

Returns and exchange process is flawed

Returns and exchange process is flawed. I purchased two pairs of trainers online with a 20% discount code. One pair was too big and one pair needed exchanging for another size. I received a refund for one pair relatively quickly but no news on the exchange. After 10 days I started a chat with an agent who said I would need to go to the store to do the exchange. I could see the correct size and colour on line and said I needed them to send me the correct item. They had no explanation as to why I had heard nothing from them. I asked them to look into the response. 3 days later I received a response from the same agent telling me that the trainer is not in the exchange stock, despite it being available on line! they provided me with a free delivery code as a gesture of goodwill! These shoes were £200, so I had free delivery anyway! They also sent me sent me a gift card for the training shoes. The problem is that the 20% discount no longer exists. So Clarks incompetence has cost me £40. The training shoes I was buying were a brand new style, that fit big so the reason for the return and exchange was genuine. If I had not contacted Clarks I would never have received the second refund, but why couldnt they fulfill it from their online stock?

Great experience

I recently visited Clark’s on Grafton Street to purchase 2 pairs of shoes and had a wonderful experience.
Gerry was extremely helpful, warm, and welcoming from the moment I arrived. He took the time to understand what I was looking for, offered knowledgeable advice, and made the entire process easy and enjoyable. It’s rare to receive such attentive and friendly service.

I’m delighted with my purchase and truly appreciate the excellent customer care. I will definitely return and highly recommend this store.
Thanks a mill Gerry !
