Great service from Iman at Oldham

I always dread the school shoes shopping trip as my boys hate it and it can be really difficult getting them try shoes on never mind finding ones they say are comfy and they'll wear, but Iman at the Oldham store made it possible. She was really attentive, engaging and patient with them and we came away with 2 pairs each. Thank you!

Naya was quick to spot us in the shop…

Naya was quick to spot us in the shop and to offer her assistance politely. She then asked sensible questions, was friendly, found the sandals we were after, was apologetic that half sizes were not available, helped me try the sandals on and made the sale easy and natural.

Lovely + Helpful

Abi at Yeovil was really lovely and helpful especially with all the advice surrounding first shoes. She was amazing with my 14mth old - he is high energy and curious about new things (shoes/posters in store) but she was so so good with him even when he was redecorating the store 🫣🤭 Abi knew i didn’t want to spend full price for first shoes so found a pair that were suitable and on sale.

Robbie from Harlow was great!

Robbie from the harlow store was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, extremely pleasant, and professional. He’s an asset to Clark’s and should be the standard throughout the entire organisation. Keep up the fantastic work Robbie.

Excellent customer service from Olu (Putney)

I received excellent customer service from Olu at the Putney branch. I was looking for a pair of shoes, but my size wasn't available in store. Olu offered me the option of ordering the exact same shoes online in my size and patiently talked me through the process. He processed the online order for me and arranged for the shoes to be delivered to my nearest store in Colliers Wood, making everything quick and easy. He also let me know that the Stratford branch had my size in stock in case I preferred to collect them there.

Olu also recommended the Rain & Stain Protector Spray and the Suede & Nubuck Restorer Spray to help me care for my new suede shoes, and I bought both products based on his advice.

Throughout my visit, Olu was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. He made the whole shopping experience enjoyable and stress-free. He is a real asset to the Putney branch, and I hope his outstanding customer service is recognised.

Outstanding service.

Outstanding service.
​My Daughter and I had been to various stores for school shoes with absolutely no success, until we visited Clarks in Belfast on Thursday, July 23rd.
​A stressful chore we dread to do every year, turned into the most pleasant and seamless experience. We were served by Elma, a new starter, who was absolutely brilliant, patient, and attentive from start to finish. She was supported by Jenny, who was incredibly accommodating and helping us fit insoles so my daughter could comfortably manage those awkward in-between sizes.
​Huge thanks to Elma and Jenny for turning our stressful shopping trip into such a positive experience. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

My order was delivered to a trash bin…

My order was delivered to the trash bin outside my home without my permission as it is not safe place . When I returned home from work my order was gone. I tried to contact customer service and explained the situation, but they told me that this was my delivery address and nothing could be done. Even if it was the courier's fault, because the GPS is correct, I don't understand it at all. This is the first time I've encountered something like this. Why am I being held accountable for the courier's fault, as they absolutely should not have left the package in such a place without my consent. Customer service is big joke this definitely last time I buy anything from them .

Clarks UAE (Jashanmal): Weeks Waiting for a Refund

I ordered two pairs of Clarks shoes from Clarks UAE (Jashanmal) on 7 July 2026. Unfortunately, both pairs were too wide, so I requested a return on the same day.

The return process was unnecessarily complicated. I was asked to provide photos before my return could be processed, and I had to follow up several times.

As of 23 July 2026, I still have not received my refund. I have now received the same response twice: that my refund is waiting for the manager’s approval. Despite this, there has been no progress, no estimated timeframe, and no way to contact the manager directly.

This has been the most complicated return and refund process I have ever experienced with an online store.

Based on my experience with Clarks UAE (Jashanmal), I cannot recommend ordering from the Clarks UAE website if there is any possibility that you may need to exchange or return an item. Buying directly from a Clarks store may be a better option, as you can try different sizes immediately and avoid a long, complicated, and frustrating return and refund process.
