Brilliant customer service
Brilliant customer service. Staff were friendly and approached to see if I needed help choosing a jacket but also gave me space to try a few and think it over. Would shop here again.

Good product knowledge. Happy customer.
I visited the Lincoln store last Friday in search of walking shoes. I was served by Laura who listened to exactly what I was looking for and was really helpful. I was impressed by Laura's product knowledge and am really happy with the walking shoes I purchased.

Last minute purchase
My wife and I went into Blacks on the High Street in Lincoln late in the afternoon. Despite it being closing time Tom was very patient and helpful. He didn't rush us and got out a variety of sandals. My wife bought a pair of sandals and is pleased with them.
We feel Tom went way over what was expected of him and is a credit to the company.
