At Fosse Park Leicester

At Fosse Park Leicester, Talisha was very quick to offer her assistance. She was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable - nothing was too much trouble. The service she provided was excellent. Thank you. I found three excellent pairs of shoes.

Mature Customer Service.

Nina was absolutely wonderful. Her attentiveness, professionalism, and mature approach to customer service went a long way. It’s wonderful to have such experienced and mature members within the team. Her approach was greatly appreciated.

Very disappointing experience at Clarks Bridgend Outlet – excellent service at Ashford

I recently purchased two pairs of shoes from the Clarks Ashford International Outlet. After changing my mind, I decided to return them and took them with me to the Clarks Bridgend Outlet on Saturday, 8 August, while travelling to Wales for my holiday. I had the original receipt with me.

The gentleman serving me explained that, as more than two weeks had passed, I could not receive a refund, but he offered me two alternatives: an exchange or a gift card for the full amount I had paid. He then went to check with the manager, presumably to confirm the policy.

Unfortunately, this is where the experience became extremely disappointing.

The manager apparently told the staff member that the store “couldn’t do anything” for me. What I found particularly unprofessional was that the manager did not come over to speak to me, explain the situation, or offer any clarification whatsoever. He simply said “No” through his staff member.

For me, this is not how a professional manager should deal with a customer. Even if the store’s policy meant that a refund was not possible, I would have expected the manager to have the courtesy and professionalism to speak to me directly and explain the reason clearly and respectfully.

As a result, I had no choice but to leave the Bridgend store and drive all the way back to the Ashford Outlet the following day, Sunday 9 August — around an hour’s drive from my home. When I arrived at Ashford, the staff confirmed that I could exchange the shoes or receive a gift card, which I accepted.

I want to make it very clear that the Ashford Outlet staff deserve full marks. They were helpful, professional and dealt with the situation properly.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the management at the Bridgend Outlet. In my opinion, the manager seriously needs training in customer service, communication and professional management. A manager should be able to speak to a customer directly, explain a decision and handle a situation respectfully — even when the answer is not what the customer wants to hear.

Ashford Outlet: 5/5 for professionalism and customer service.
Bridgend Outlet: extremely disappointing experience.

I hope Clarks takes this feedback seriously and provides the Bridgend management team with appropriate customer-service training.

Booked an appointment for the dreaded back to school shoe shopping. The Cardiff store was great, good choice of shoes in the school range and a foot measure as well to check sizing.
Melissa was great, she was very knowledgeable, fitted shoes and checked how things were going with my daughter. Highly reccommend this store and always worth booking an appointment for school shoes.

Excellent service and great shoes

We bought my husband some shoes in the shop in Great Yarmouth. We were asked by Lucy if we needed any help after a couple of minutes and she left us to carry on looking at our leisure. We found some shoes my husband wanted to try and she went and got them for us straight away. The size he tried were slightly large so Lucy immediately went and brought us a pair half a size smaller which were perfect. We were very impressed with the shoes which we thought excellent quality and value for money and the service we received was excellent. Highly recommended

Excellent customer service

Ash helped my two daughters choose the correct shoes to go back to school. I have to say Ash was extremely knowledgeable and advised the girls with the best shoe to fit them. His knowledge of the shoes was excellent most importantly of all very patient with my two girls. Thank you so much.

Great service by Amy, Argyle St Clarks

I was at Clarks on Argyle Street, Glasgow this morning with my 8 year old daughter. We were served by Amy, who was brilliant. She put my daughter at ease, was knowledgeable and friendly and went the extra mile to help us find suitable shoes to order when there wasn't quite what we wanted in store. Thank you Amy! Fiona

Went into the Abbeycentre store today to see about buying my daughter new school shoes. Holly dealt with us, she was extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble and she helped my daughter make the right decision.Store very busy however Holly was totally focused on us.
