Above and beyond staff member Alison
I regularly visit Clark’s Rayleigh with my children, and today Alison was nothing short of fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble from measuring both my children’s feet to fitting their shoes with kindness, care and a genuine passion for her work. What a wonderful, lovely lady. If your children need new shoes, this location is the place to go so they feel at ease and have a thoroughly enjoyable experience. A special thank you for going above and beyond today Alison. Very grateful!

Exceptional Service from Sarah at Clarks in Rayleigh…
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Clarks shoe shop in Rayleigh, where I was assisted by Sarah in finding the perfect school shoes and trainers for my 7-year-old son, who is autistic. From the moment we entered the store, Sarah displayed a level of professionalism and dedication that truly stood out.
She took the time to measure my son's feet with great precision, ensuring we found the correct sizes—something that was particularly important since he requires a standard fit in one style and a wide fit in another. Sarah’s attention to detail and commitment to helping us find the right fit made the experience seamless and stress-free.
Even though the end of summer had limited options in his size, Sarah went above and beyond by assisting us with ordering the shoes for delivery, ensuring we had what we needed for the upcoming school year.
What I appreciated most was how Sarah acknowledged me as Sam's mum without making any assumptions about our family dynamics. Her respectful approach made a significant difference, and it was heartwarming to feel recognised as a parent first and foremost.
Overall, I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. Her professionalism, kindness, and understanding made our visit a positive experience, and I left the store feeling grateful for her exceptional service. Thank you, Sarah, for making shoe shopping a pleasant experience for both Sam and me!

I took my daughter to clarks in Rayleigh highsyreet this morning and we were served by Claire W. My daughter has sensory issues and shoe shopping can often be challenging but Claire was brilliant with my daughter, patient, caring and helpful and we got our school shoes sorted fairly quickly. Claire even gave my daughter a shoe box to colour at home. Great service!

Served by Sarah at Clarks Rayleigh branch, she was amazing and engaged with my daughter as a customer not just me. Which was a lovely boost to my daughters confidence.
Great, friendly service
Today I took my daughters, aged 7 and 5, into the Rayleigh store to have their feet measured. Claire M, was very helpful and even checked the fit of their existing Clarks shoes and trainers. We bought some new trainers today, which my daughter loves and we will return here for school shoes in the future. Thanks Claire. 🙂
