Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A well stocked store with a good range. Staff were proactive and friendly and worked well as a team. Kate was particularly patient with getting almost every size of shoe down for me!

Knowledgeable staff

I was looking for walking boots. Jack and his colleague ( James I think) were very helpful, asking what were they needed for and the terrain.
They both appeared to have a lot of knowledge about the products and which would be most appropriate.
Very pleased with purchase thank you.

Good customer service buying walking boots

I wanted to buy a pair of walking boots. The staff member was helpful and knowledgeable. I told them where I would be walking and hiking, and my experience with other walking boots and shoes. The staff member listened, and suggested a pair that would be suitable. I was also reminded of the 15% discount for those with membership of certain organisations - I had a relevant membership card with me, so was able to use that to get the discount. Overall, excellent customer service from Salisbury branch.

Rich store manager in Salisbury- Rucksack

Rich store manager in Salisbury, was super at helping us find an appropriate rucksack, his knowledge was second to none, and his enthusiasm and experience was unmatched.
We thoroughly appreciated his time and expertise especially as the shop was meant to close, but he kept it open just for us.
Thank you Rich, for your amazing service.

Blacks Salisbury are a great shop

Went in close to closing time as my rucksack was literally falling to pieces. The staff were very helpful, especially Rich, who took time to listen to my needs, and talk me through a couple of options. I bought the larger of the rucksacks we discussed, and having used it for a couple of days, I’m very happy with my purchase. I will be back when I need something else.

Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else asked for Rich

What can I say, the other half had got me boots which I needed for work but unfortunately they where just a tad bit big for me, when I rang I spoke to a gentleman called Rich who was acting store manager, I explained the situation and he was more then happy to help and asked for me to come in the next day which I did he helped me pick the right size and a better pair of boots to help with my job.

Fantastic service from start to finish In my eyes and very knowledgeable as well, acting store manager! I believe head office should make it official thank you Rich

Katie was super helpful and let me know about Blacks' discount for National Trust members when I recently bought a pair of walking boots. Blacks Salisbury has a great range of stock and friendly staff. Recommended!

I saw an assistant by the name of’Rich’ who ably guided me through a range of trainers that might be suitable for my particular uses. His POS knowledge was excellent and I liked his professional approach.

Katie was very helpful but nor overbearing at all. She told me about the National Trust discount. I was in two minds about my purchase but learning about this made me choose to buy the boots.
