Staff with great Disability awareness
Both members of staff that served us were excellent and very sensitive to the needs of my sister who has severe learning disabilities. Lots of patience and attention to fit. Spoke directly to her and gave a great service. Can’t remember the lady’s name ; she was super and the guys name was Sam- outstanding. Anyone shopping with people with additional needs knows how much easier things are if staff are helpful - made everything easier and we came away with three pairs of shoes !

A Wonderful First Shoe Shopping Experience
We had a wonderful experience with Rhea while choosing our baby’s first pre-walker shoes. She was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. Rhea took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure we felt confident in our choice. Her friendly and approachable manner made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. It was a pleasure dealing with her, and we really appreciated her knowledge and care. Thank you, Rhea!
Fantastic customer experience!
I had such a fantastic experience at Thurrock Lakeside Clarks recently! Tom and Tonina were both incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. They really took the time to understand what my daughter was looking for and made sure we found the perfect pair of shoes.
Their knowledge, patience, and genuine care for customer service really stood out. It made the whole shopping experience smooth and enjoyable. Big thanks to both of them for going above and beyond—I’ll definitely be coming back!
Highly recommend this store if you’re looking for great service and quality footwear 👌

Fantastic shopping experience
I had a fantastic experience shopping on a whim in Clarks in Lakeside, Essex. I found a pair of lovely tan leather loafers (not the chunky kind). Both members of staff greeted me well, and not too soon or too late after arriving. Also, I was offered help should I want it, which was positively reassuring. The lovely lady (sorry I didn't catch her name) brought the other shoe for me to try as well as product care items - the foresight was noted, admired and appreciated. She and her colleague Tom T balanced seeing to all customers seamlessly. Tom T was incredibly delightful, he showed me a particular care product that revived the shoe that had been exposed on the rack! I seldom bother with care products, but this one I bought because of Tom and the proof was in the pudding. I really enjoyed the natural flow of our conversation/interaction. I think it was the most pleasant experience I have had in a shoe store...or any store in a long while! Assets, well done both of you and stay fabulous.
Served by a lovely sales assistant Gracie
Served by a lovely, helpful sales assistant called Gracie. She was polite and bubbly and spent a considerable amount of time helping me and my family in the store. Both Gracie and her manager Tom show professionalism.
Samuel
Samuel at Clark's provided excellent customer service. He was very knowledgeable about stock, helpful with ordering, patient with our daughter, and polite and genuine in his approach. A great example of top-notch service that you rarely get nowadays.
Samuel gave exceptional customer service
Samuel from the Thurrock branch in Lakeside was extremely helpful. He did all the measurements and checked thoroughly to make sure my child got the shoe that she needed. He was also very patient with our questions and requests.
staff need to be trained better
staff need to be trained better. the staff member that originally served me was the manager, i wanted a size and she said it wasnt available so i could order. when i said no thank you she looked annoyed and didnt bring me a size of another shoe i wanted until 10 mins later, the store was basically empty. then the next person who served me recommended me the wrong shoecare with my shoes, i have alot of clarks shoes so i know my way around shoecare, if i took her advice i wouldve ruined perfectly fresh shoes. only the cashier was nice, but the manager came over again and ruined the experience. Don't recommend this branch for good customer service, try another one
