The Jacket sent is fine but they delivered it in just a plastic bag. One layer of not very thick plastic. It’s an expensive foam filled lightweight jacket that could have easily been damaged. Not suit... See more

I had a fantastic experience at Blacks

I had a fantastic experience at Blacks. My son was unsure about which shoes to buy for camping, and Harry, the manager, was incredibly helpful. He provided knowledgeable advice and took the time to ensure we chose the right pair. Harry was so kind, supportive, and professional throughout our visit. Thanks to his assistance, my son is really happy with his new shoes, and I’ll definitely be coming back to this store. Highly recommended!

Back to Blacks

Excellent, cheerful and attentive service from Eloise this morning. My first visit to a Blacks for five years after a poor experience at a different branch but it now looks as though I'm back to Blacks.

Great products and prices, awesome staff

Harry was fantastic - thank you so much for all the help today. I felt silly having to return the item I had purchased online, and was pleasantly surprised by the smooth returns process. Even better - after a relaxed and knowledgeable conversation about other tent options Harry helped me find a much more suitable alternative!

Positive In-store Experience

Visited the store on Saturday morning to look at ruck sacks. Henry was excellent. Both knowledgeable and professional, he listened & guided to a ruck sack that fitted well with many features & good quality. The price was competitive & so the Osprey ruck sack was purchased in store. Thanks Henry.

Eloise was absolutely brilliant.

Eloise was absolutely brilliant. Very polite, helpful, very knowledgeable and funny. The boots I was looking for were not in stock in the shop so she managed to ordered them from the Blacks website at a discounted price. I got them delivered the day after! Thank you!

Great service from Soraya in Brighton who advised me on walking boots, a rucksack and waterproofs. There's 30% off everything at the moment, so it's a good time to shop there. Thanks for the great customer service.

Hiking ankle boots

When buying ankle boots for an upcoming hiking holiday Mike was really helpful and knowledgeable. He listened to what I wanted and made recommendations which were well informed. He took the time to make sure the boots I tried on fitted and provided lots of tips on how to wear them based on different terrains and how to look after them. I would highly recommend going to him for advice!

Harry was amazing

Harry was amazing! His knowledge is priceless, my Son was in need of some new walking boots, Harry took the time to understand his needs and gave great advice not just on the boots but recommended many other items for his trip we haven’t even thought about.
Happy Son, happy Dad

Joel the boot man

Joel seems to be an encyclopedia of boots, teaching me everything from the materials used, how to tie laces,how to care for shoes and even about socks! He was incredibly patient, encouraged me to try on multiple pairs and many sizes. All in all it was more like an enjoyable boot exhibit than a visit to a shop. I left with an amazing pair of boots at a discounted price.
