I went to buy rubber bungs for my Leki Sticks previously bought in Blacks on-line sale. I ended up buying walking shoes and socks as well, which I had been thinking about. I wasnt pressurised at all. I found all the Assistants helpful and friendly.

Staff

Cal was boss in dealing with me and an issue I had with a jacket I bought from store. His customer service is ace and he’s looked after me time and time again since.

People are always quick to moan when they have a gripe, but far less so when praise is due—so credit where it’s deserved. Outstanding customer service, genuine care, and consistency every visit.
Top guy, like the rest of the team.

Replacement Tent Pole - Sean and Martin

All the staff were really helpful. Sean and Martin went above and beyond to help me. We needed a replacement pole for our tent asap as was using that weekend at a festival. The store helped me locate an alternative, they made the replacement pole out of stock they had and kept me updated on any parts that I would need that they didn't stock. After I ordered the replacement parts they also fitted them to the pole for me. All in time for the festival.

Polite and helpful

I was quickly greeted in store and directed to the sections I needed. Eric helped me to select some gaiters and gave sound advice. He was very helpful and patient while I tried on a few daypacks. I’ve bought a number of items at this store in recent years and always find the staff are polite and helpful.

I went into the shop and went upstairs to buy some Salomon socks and couldn’t see them, about 30 seconds later Vicky one of the shop assistants come over and immediately showed me the location and told me they were on special offer, superb service

I was assisted by Megan and her tape measure to sort out new laces!, didn't stalk me (I often walk out of a shop if staff member does that) and I ended up purchasing 3 pairs of walking socks on top of laces, very very good personal skills has Megan.

Product exchange

I was served by Vicky & Callum. They were very helpful, polite & pleasant. I had purchased a rucksack earlier in the week at Go Outdoors however, as it was end of range they only had black. Vicky agreed to my request to exchange it for a different colour.

Excellent staff

This is the third shop (neither of which were Blacks) I've been in looking for a pair of walking shoes - in the both the previous shops I'd ended up walking out as the staff were just not interested. Here the staff (and Megan in particular) struck exactly the right balance between leaving you to browse, yet being on hand when needed.
The shop had a good stock and was reasonably priced.
