Great staff, very friendly

I stopped in after work to look at some shoes just before they closed, but instead of trying to rush me so they could go home, they took time to bring several pairs to try, giving advice, and helping me choose the best shoes for what I needed, showing great product knowledge.

Just like a shout out to Ann in the newbury branch. She was really helpful with me picking some merrel trainers. She wasn’t bothered about me sending her to get 4 different pairs and sizes. Well done blacks for having great customer care. And well done Ann for being great at what you do.

Ann super assistant - buying boot

I’d been looking at some hiking boots for a while but needed an assistant to help, I’d previously been served by Ann so asked if she could help me select some suitable boots.
Nothing was too much trouble, always offering suggestions and tips which really helped me make an informed decision.
Many thanks

Knowledgable and friendly help from Zak in fitting some good walking shoes. He knew his stuff and could offer options and their pros and cons. Trust worthy and a week later I have enjoyed good walks in the new shoes. Well done.

Bootiful service

I went to the shop today to purchase a pair of boots. I was looked after by Michael and he went above and beyond to find me a pair of boots that I liked. Great service that was very much appreciated.

THANK YOU Ann

THANK YOU Ann, for your help and guidance in finding me my 1st pair of walking boots. You're a true gem to your organisation - they're very lucky to have you. Just a joy to meet you and chat whilst you helped me find the most suitable footwear for my trekking holiday.

A great shopping experience

My wife suffers with dementia and normally finds shopping extremely difficult. Today we were supported by the assistant branch manager Trina, who was absolutely amazing.Trina showed great patience and understanding of the difficulties we were both having making decisions. We felt more relaxed with her assistance and completed the purchases successfully. We were so pleased with our shopping experience. Many thanks to Trina.

Thank you Ann

Thank you Ann for helping my son buy boots yesterday. He’s an autistic young man and you treated him with patience but otherwise like anyone else, gaining his trust to help him make a decision. Good for Blacks too as he might otherwise have just left finding it too difficult.
