Excellent choice with very knowledgeable member of staff

Karen, despite being very busy gave everyone the one to one attention they needed. She was able to give plenty of information about the walking boots and which would be more suitable for foot shape and purpose. A thoroughly great experience. She couldn’t have been more helpful. Excellent selection of boots to choose from.

Friendly and helpful staff

Staff were friendly and helpful on a busy Saturday afternoon.
The downside was when i took the item out of the bag to wrap up for a gift the security tag was still attached so had to return the item to get it removed.
This took up valuable time close to Christmas and I had to travel as don’t live close by.

I went into the store today to get a pair of walking shoes. But unfortunately I have big feet and it wasn't that easy. I was served by a lady called Gerry and she was absolutely fabulous. She was determined to find me a pair which would fit my weird feet. She pulled out all the stops and searched high and low and managed to find me the right pair. Thank you very much one of the best retail experience I had. I left very happy and the manager( I think) at the tills was fantastic too.

Great service even though they were about to close

I went into the Nottingham Wheeler Gate shop a couple of minutes before closing and Karen and John still took their time to serve me without rushing. They got the shoes I had seen previously and had everything sorted for me in minutes. Calm, friendly and helpful.

Jake at Wheeler Gate Blacks - Top Man

I went into the Nottingham Wheeler Gate branch for a waterproof jacket. I asked for some help and advice and Jake could not have been more helpful. Sorted me out with a great jacket and a good price. Thanks Jake!

Craghoppers Women’s Trousers

John from the Blacks Wheeler Gate store was very helpful took me straight to the Craghoppers womens trousers and delivered great customer service in a cheerful manner, asked me if I was a member of any outdoor groups Ramblers etc as those members are eligible for a discount. I am very happy with my purchase and the service I received.
