As per usual going into a shop to find size 13 shoes starts off with "Do you know if you have any size 13 shoes?" The younger guy points to Dan, (or Joe, definitely 3 letters), who guides me upstairs.... See more

Excellent Service

I was served by Neil, who was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I was looking for a particular type of walking boot and Neil talked me through my options. He found the perfect pair.

Good quality and price, helpful and attentive, real people.

I went in to get some new shoes today, found what I wanted and Charlie helped me with a few questions I had, he was very attentive, helpful, professional and most importantly, for me, he was a real person not just a bot/npc. He did me a solid and hooked me up with a 15% discount, a nice touch and very much appreciated.

As always excellent

As always, helpful and couldn’t have done more. I was served by Charlie, he made sure my boots fitted and looked for others too, also took the box to the till for me which is downstairs! Such a shame that Blacks is closing down!!

I cannot fault the customer service given by Joe and Issac in this store. They always go above and beyond to help. I wish more stores had staff this helpful and positive. Hold on to these two they are an asset to the company.

Lovely experience

I went into the store today as I need a revamp on my hiking attire, and had a lovely experience.
The staff today (Joe & Charlie) were very helpful and friendly.

I would recommend coming to this store to others!

Great service

Wide choice of down jackets and Charlie was very knowledgeable about the options and about Blacks closing down and the rebranding to Go Outdoors.

Excellent service

Pleasant, helpful & knowledgable assistant Hollie helped me find the most suitable walking boots to replace my old leaky pair. Great value too, they were on offer!

Great staff

I saw, online, a pair of sturdy walking shoes that I wanted so I called my nearest branch of Blacks to find out if they had them in stock. I spoke to Jamie and he reserved sizes 8 and 9 for me. I visited the store later in the day and the shoes were ready for me to try on. Hollie served me and was very helpful. Blacks matched the excellent online price. Thanks to the staff for all their help.
