Clarks

The biggest issue with this store is that the children’s department is upstairs and there is no lift. While they are willing to help you carry an empty buggy upstairs this is often not practical, especially if you have a baby asleep in there. The major issue once upstairs is that despite a ticketed waiting sytem the waits are often very long. If you have a young toddler with you who has been sitting in the buggy for a while but has to get out because of the stairs they then want to run about, however the wide stairs with no protection are a disaster waiting to happen — I have seen so many little ones running for them and only being stopped just in time.
Having said that the staff are usually ok with the children and the shoes are great quality.

Good selection of safe, comfy shoes. Downstairs is ladies, upstairs for children. You do have to wait a while to be seen for children’s as they actually do help you with sizing etc. Helpful friendly staff. Easy to get to on High Street.

A friend of mine worked here, and the staff are always helpful, and will try to assist you in any way possible.
The aisles are well spaces out to navigate, even with a buggy for example.
Unfortunatly though, like most shops, they don’t stock many shoes in a larger size, so if you’re looking for a pair of size 14 Nike Air Max’s like I often do, it’s very unlikely they will stock it.
Clarks also stock some other accessories too, such as belts and bags.

i have always been a sucker for a good pair of shoes, and being a size 3 i find it hard to find adult shoes that are nice.
however, in clarks, the quality of shoes are just incredible, and worth every penny (especially if you get some from the sales!)
the staff are very friendly and helpful, and if you find shoes you like but not in your size (which is often the case for me) they will check stocks and other stores to see if they have them, if they dont they give you a number to contact and order directly, which is really helpful.
the slight floor is that the childrens shoes are situated upstairs, which when with a buggy, means you have to leave the buggy downstairs to look up there. but they are always helpful which is lovely

Well stocked and helpful staff make shopping here a pleasure. There are always good choices of shoes in all sizes and the staff are never too busy to help and don’t mind if you try on one pair or ten!
