Excellent service

I was warmly welcomed as soon as I was in the store. After I found what I was looking for I asked for some advice which Tia and Laura were very helpful about. There was an item I needed for my son’s DofE that was online only and when I explained we had tried to order it the previous evening but the website kept saying his DofE number wasn’t recognised so I hadn’t been able to order it, they set about sorting it out there and then for me as they explained there was a blip in the system, which resulted in my order being placed, thanks to them both! Great employees!

Walking Shoes Unfit for Purpose



REFERENCE: Go Outdoors - Peter Storm walking shoes

I purchased a Peter Storm walking shoes from Go Outdoors. At the point of purchase I paid £25.00.

After 5 months of use the shoes, which I purchased, have holes in the bottom of both heels, letting water in. They were advertised and bought as walking shoes without any restrictions as to where I could wear them. I have taken them back to the shop where I purchased them and the store manager refused a refund because I had worn these walking shoes on the pavements, going shopping and walking round town, he said "these were made for walking on softer ground". If this was the case why were these not described as only for use on soft ground? It should be made clear, to customers, before purchase, that there are limitations as to where these shoes can be worn. I pointed out that all my other "walking shoes", which I have worn, from other manufacturers, such as Skechers, Mountain Warehouse and Trespass, have all lasted over 12 month when they have been used on the same terrain. The store manager also refused to accept that the shoes could be a faulty pair during the manufacturing process, he said "any fault would have happened to a whole batch" If I had known these shoes were not to be used when walking on pavements I would not have bought them
I do not believe that 5 months is a reasonable length of time for a pair of walking shoes to last, which have been used in the correct manner, as described by the seller, for walking.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 makes it an implied term of the contract I have with Go Outdoors that goods be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory

These shoes were bought and return at the Ilkley branch

I have already rung customer services who say that I have to return the walking shoes to head office for inspection!! WHY?

Kindness, above and beyond

Tia went out of her way to find items from upstairs when I couldn’t go up myself - and then up again to deliver other options. All staff (Tia, Garry and Billy) were kind and helpful, and I got what I needed!

Peter Storm walking boots

I bought a pair of Peter Storm walking boots from the Go Outdoors Ilkley store on the recommendation of The Which? Report. Scarlett, the sales assistant, was very helpful indeed.
The boots are excellent and roughly £100 cheaper than many other brands
