Great service from Oliver Exeter

Great service from Oliver in the Exeter store at the weekend. The place was full of people getting ready for going back to school but Oliver was great with our 5 and 3 year olds. He got talking to them while he was sizing them up and gave us some useful advice. Thank you Oliver.

Room for improvement

Lady at the door was rude and patronising. It was busy and she was probably up to her head with work. Otherwise service was great.

Hi Thomas,

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.

We are always looking for ways to improve the service we provide to our customers so thank you again for bringing this to our attention. I do hope that you will allow us the opportunity to show you that your experience is not typical of the service we offer and please accept my apologies again for the disappointment caused -Angela

Excellent customer service

Great Clarks store, a credit to the brand. Maria served me and was friendly and engaged without being at all pushy. She was very patient and kind as I 'ummed' and 'ahhed' and changed my mind and asked to try on four different pairs of shoes. She, and her colleagues, and the layout and ambience of the store, all made the experience great. Thank you all.

Maria at the Exeter store was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, she was attentive, helpful and very knowledgeable. Nothing was too much effort for her (despite me being incredibly picky) and I left feeling really pleased with my purchase. Thank you again to Maria, I will definitely return in future!

So disappointed cannot get any shoes / trainers for my 3 year old grandson . He is a size 9 H fitting . The store measured and could not sell us a pair of shoes as there wasn’t any in his size . Went on line still unable to get anything in his size . I rang the customer service for Clark’s and was told sorry there is nothing in that size . Come on Clark’s what’s going on . Your width fittings say EFGH why is there nothing that can fit a little boy who is three ?

Hi Laura,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and I’m sorry that your purchase wasn’t quite right on this occasion.

We try to be as consistent as possible with our sizing and all styles.In the footwear market, not all sizes are produced in equal quantities. Manufacturers typically produce more units of the most common sizes, as these have the highest demand.

we truly appreciate your input and are actively working to improve. Based on recent feedback, we are taking steps to increase the availability of wide-fitting shoes across more styles and sizes.

Thank you again for leaving us a review and I do hope that you are able to find a suitable alternative from our current range –Angela

Helpful staff

Helpful staff, we were helped by Maria, who took the time to advise me about the sizing of the shoe and got several different sizes for me in between helping other customers during a busy period. Friendly and helpful

Maria at the Exeter store is brilliant

Maria at the Exeter store was absolutely brilliant today, she suggested a couple of options for my husband who has really painful feet. Went in hoping to find one pair of comfy shoes and came out with two pairs! Excellent good old fashioned customer service, nothing was too much trouble - such a rarity these days.
