Clarks

Clark’s, always known in the UK and America for their comfortable, Hush Puppies style shoes, provided me with my most fashionable, triangular wedge shoes of last season.
Every time I wore these shoes, I got compliments. I had gone into Clark’s to get some sensible, comfy shoes for work, only to find they had some really on-​trend styles that were unique and not seen elsewhere.
It’s really known as an older ladies’ shoe shop, but the last time I went in there, there were some women my age cooing over the latest styles and fashions. Their boots particularly have come a long way from the «toffs horse riding club» reputation Clark’s have built up over the years.
The Bullring shop is no exception, and has a large stock of all the styles I’ve found online and went to try on. Obviously, all their shoes are leather, great quality and fit a rather narrow ankle like mine.
The sales staff at this Clark’s are very helpful and never seem put out rushing back and forth to find the exact colour and size customers want.
The last time I was there, I was helped by a particularly sweet, switched-​on young man who had a nice chat with me while I wiggled my toes.
I’m forever impressed by people who can deal with feet all day and not get jaded. They deserve a medal.

Beware of buying shoes in person as you may not be offered a refund as you are online. I shopped at Medissa and bought four pairs of shoes. They were highly recommended online, but when I got home and wore one pair I realised they would be too small when my feet swell so i tried to return an unworn pair. they refused a refund but offered a credit note. i returned them EXACTLY a sthey had been bought and they wrote to say they’d been worn and would not exchange. they even asked for more money to return them. They would not listen or accept my word or my claim that hadn’t even tried them on after purchase cos I knew others didn’t fit. seeking legal and second opinion.

Although Clarks is generally known for their sensible shoes there are some lovely ones to be found if you are willing to look.
This branch has a decent selection of shoes for both men and women and is very handy if you are looking for something that will be comfortable for long periods as well as looking stylish.
The staff in this outlet are very helpful and professional and willing to suggest other shoes you might like if they have run out of stock in your size.
The sales in Clarks tend to be very good with large reductions on their shoes which means you can pick up a bargain.

Sensible shoes is probably a good way of describing Clarks. Never anything risqué or out there, but you can always depend on them for something functional and relatively comfortable.
The shop has a decent selection and the staff have proved both attentive and helpful on the occasions I’ve been there. Being in the Bullring, this branch benefits from the longer opening hours than other branches meaning you can pop round after work for that sensible purchase

I tend to look here for sensible shoes that I am going to have to be in all day rather than evening shoes. They quality is of the highest standard as is the customer service. I have shopped in Clarks for sensible shoes since childhood and I have returned twice a year at least throughout my adult life as I am always happy with the service and quality of shoes. Although they do a range of more fashionable shoes that are suitable for evening wear I generally just use this store for my day time shoes. I like to wear comfortable shoes and if I am on my feet all day I need to make sure they fit perfectly and the staff here are really helpful with fitting especially as my feet can be different sizes in different styles — very narrow shoes I tend to need to go up a size!
