Amazing service and customer care

Amazing service and customer care from Mandy who went out of her way helping us - well above and beyond what we could have ever expected. She was extremely friendly, gave good advice and solutions which helped to diffuse a frustrating situation when my partner’s boots fell apart right at the beginning of our trip. She was so good I bought a pair too!

Great help

I had such great help today from Rob at Millets Colchester helping me pick a pair of walking boots. I have always had such a problem with picking any shoes/boots as have many foot problems. He was so patient and offered good advice.

excellent service from Cody in Colchester

We went to Millets yesterday to pick up some waterproof coats for our twins. We left with two great coats and two football boots bags. All with the help from Cody who did a great job suggesting different designs.
We even came back later the same day to see if they had an any sports base layers. Happy to spend money in any shop where you get good, friendly service.

Helpful and informative

Lee was really helpful in finding what I needed. He was pleasant, not pushy, but I still managed to find myself adding to the original order from the suggestions he made. Shopping is always more enjoyable when you get to speak to a real person. First time in a very long while, but I might return a bit sooner next time.
