Grace at the Freeport Talke store was brilliant

Grace at the Freeport Talke store was exceptional fitting my 18 month wriggly little boy his new shoes. She measured them perfectly despite his best efforts to avoid having them done, then when his size were not available to browse in store she grabbed several pairs from the back including brand new ones not yet put out. We picked two pairs and got the buy one get one half price deal. Thank you so much Grace!

Exceptional Service from Hadiya – A True Star at Clarks!

I had the absolute pleasure of being helped by Hadiya during my recent visit to Clarks, and I can’t praise her enough! Finding the right shoe fit can be tricky, but Hadiya made the entire experience smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable.

She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about finding the perfect fit for me—not just selling a shoe. She took the time to understand what I needed, offered great suggestions, and made sure I walked out not just with shoes, but with comfort and confidence.

In a world where customer service can feel rushed or impersonal, Hadiya stands out as someone who truly goes above and beyond.

Highly recommend this store

Highly recommend this store. I went for school shoes with my 4 children one of which is disabled and the care she received by Jill was incredible. Service was quick and extremely helpful. School shoe shopping is usually stressful however this was a very pleasant experience.

The lady with short blonde hair is really rude, really not surprised more and more clarkes stores are shutting down because the managers in stores seem like they don't want to be there
Wait time in store extremely long, no rush or effort in the staff at all and they don't provide exceptional customer service or even crack a smile so its not really worth the wait at all
Clarks seriously need to look at the people they employ into customer facing roles, its not like customers are the reason she is employed or anything 🙃

Clarks Affinity Talke

Clarks was really busy with children being bought new school shoes. However I was quickly served by Abbie B. who checked my shoe size/width (problem with bunion) and brought me a good selection of shoes to try. She was very attentive and I purchased 2 pairs of shoes .
Very pleased with the very high standard of customer service. Brilliant job Abbie B !

Inadequate service

My daughters are 10 and 8 and this has by far been the worst experience I have had getting them kitted with school shoes. After booking an appointment with our local store to have them measured, there was 1 style available in each of their measured size, which was unsuitable for either of them. We left the store and looked to head to our next nearest local store to find that they had closed down meaning we had already been to our one remaining store. We were left to order online which is not ideal as experts in children’s shoes should know that size and fit are not one in the same meaning just because it is the correct size, does not mean it offers the correct support for my child. Needless to say after spending over £100 on 2 pairs of shoes, I was not in a hurry to reorder for the correct pair. Looks like our school shoe journey with Clarkes may now be over.

Hi Miss Sheppard, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am so sorry to read of your recent experience and lack of options in store.

Our stores can only hold stock of a single pair of each size, fit and colour in any style at one time. Unfortunately, the particular size or colour may have sold out earlier in the day. If you do need any further assistance, please get in touch via Facebook Messenger under Clarks Shoes quoting reference 519518 and we would be happy to help. All the best- Georgia
