Great customer service …
Went to the store to buy a waterproof coat and with the advice from Jamie came out with exactly what I was looking for. Great quality and good value for money. Even advised that they do a particular discount which I had and took advantage of. I also bought a couple of cotton T-shirts which they had an offer on if you buy two. Well recommended and thank Jamie. 👍🏼

Great store, good value, high quality items
I was served today and yesterday by Matty. He was really helpful, informative with helping us choose items and a nice guy. The shop was clean, well presented and had a really nice selection of items. The staff were polite, courteous and helpful. I like the new look for blacks, it feels calm to shop, there is a nice selection in a variety of different outdoor categories. I have always shopped at blacks, and will continue to. I am impressed by the new look, competitive prices and friendly service.

No one knows the composition of the boots
Order arrived promptly. And wrapped in brown paper - very admirable. The problem arose with a label attached to the laces of both boots saying w
‘Waterproof’ and the label on the box saying ‘water resistant’. It took several hours of waiting on the phone to eventually talk to an advisor to clarify the matter. He hadn’t a clue and kept reading the inline blurb which was unclear. A total waste of several highly frustrating hours. I’ve reluctantly returned the boots.
