The staff were very attentive. Stella in particular, in the Arndale centre in Manchester, was very helpful and went to great lengths to make sure my 3 year old granddaughter got a pair of trainers that fitted her properly. Thank you.

Arndale: Not Acknowledged.

my local store for nearly a year now has been the Arndale manchester. however i’m not too sure if i will continue to shop there! unlike the other stores in the arndale where the workers greet you, i was ignored! myself and a friend walked in and decided we wanted to have a look at the new shoes we had seen online. one worker was on her phone and didn’t even acknowledge us! how awful!

overall, compared to the stock of other stores there’s much more to look at and try on, however the overall lack of acknowledgement makes me want to go back to my old store skipton!

Hi M.,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent experience in store and I am truly sorry that the service received did not meet the high standards we strive for.

I will ensure your feedback is shared with the store so that further coaching and support can be provided where necessary to avoid any future disappointment.

Arndale store- keely INCREDIBLE!

Keely is an absolute asset to your team. She was lovely from the get go, but when i explained my daughter is autistic and has to pick the shoes herself she was so outstanding. She took the time with my daughter, got down to her level and when she went to get some shoes, she brought out a few extra. She got the boxes all on the floor, and allowed my daughter to open them and get them out herself. She understood without me saying that my daughter needed that control. She made it such a lovely experience for my daughter when getting new shoes is an ordeal for her. I hope she can get a bonus or something as honestly she made our year. Keely, if you read this and remember us, thankyou so much again. I shed a happy tear that my sophia got to have a happy experience because of your kindness❤️

Lovely calming experience

I recently went in to get some pre walker shoes for my son. I was served by Aminah in the Manchester Arndale store. She made the experience really easy and fun. My baby boy was really calm with her and was interested in the whole thing. Its so sweet to have that memory!

Can't wait to our next visit

Aminan from Manchester arndale was very knowledgeable and friendly. But most importantly patient with my daughter measuring her feet for her first shoes as she's a proper wiggle bum. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

Very nice and patient

Grace was super lovely and very patient with us as the internet was very slow and we were very indecisive but she didn’t rush us and was super lovely.

Clarks Manchester Arndale has decent service, as shown by multiple visits for school shoes, but the overall experience is a mixed bag. While some staff members like Niamh, Erin, and Aminah go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction and handle challenging situations with kids' shoe fitting, there's a feeling that it takes several tries and considerable time to find the right shoes. The staff's friendly demeanor is appreciated, making these trips more pleasant, though sometimes the process can be a bit cumbersome. Overall, it's an okay experience with some bright spots in customer service.

Hello Gared, 

Thank you for your review. I was delighted to read how enjoyable Niamh, Erin, and Aminah have made this experience for you. We love to receive feedback for our store teams. 

In regards to the time it takes to measure and for shoes, please note that young feet contain soft tissue between the developing bones which does not completely harden until mid-teens. This means that the size or width may vary with small movements of the foot or the angle of the leg, even if the child is relaxed.

The measurement given in store is a starting point. Once your child has a pair of shoes on their feet, the fitter may size up or down to find the best fit.

In order to ensure that your child has the correct fitting shoes, me must ensure that we are trying on shoes and assessing the best fit before giving the go ahead! 

Many thanks - Candice

Just the shoes I was looking for!

We were greeted by a very polite and helpful member of the team, called Toby, she asked if I needed any help.
She was able to suggest, what turned out to be the perfect pair of shoes.
I would highly recommend others to this store and even to ask her advise.
Very pleased indeed.
Thank you Toby
