Kate helped me find my new hiking boots in the Salisbury store. She was really attentive, asked me about what kind of trip I was going on & did it all with a smile. The boots are in Denmark now Kate,... See more

Very welcoming and helpful staff. Especially staff member Kate. But also her colleague whom I didn't get her name. Both an asset to this store/company.

A well stocked store with a good range. Staff were proactive and friendly and worked well as a team. Kate was particularly patient with getting almost every size of shoe down for me!

Great customer service experience from James …

I went into Blacks in Salisbury to try to find a replacement pair of Brasher walking boots. My previous pair of Brasher boots were starting to wear on the soles and the upper was showing signs of separation from the sole.
I had ordered a replacement pair online throughBlacks, but Evri managed to 'loose' them somewhere in their depot. In other words they were stolen!
I found the pair I was looking for in store. I asked James if he had a pair in my size in stock. I also explained the problem I had ordering online. He found a pair Brasher boots in my size and they fitted perfectly. The displayed price was £135. The pair I ordered online were £90. When James scanned the new pair at the till they were a few pence under £68. He did explain they were the old design not the newer version. So the same boots I had purchased 4 years ago in the same store. Well done James, I will be shopping in store again.

A big shout out to Alex of blacks Salisbury who went above and beyond to help me source the correct replacement air tube for my Berghaus tent. Finally found the only one in the country in GoOutdoors in Stockport and is arranging for it to be transferred to the local store. Best customer service I’ve received anywhere for a very long time!

Nothing was too much trouble

Nothing was too much trouble. I asked for some replacement shoe insoles, there was one set that matched in the main shop but my wife’s pair was not on display. The assistant went upstairs into the store for 5 minutes and found the right pair.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being served by two delightful young shop assistants in Blacks in Salisbury (one I think was called Charlie/Charley ) and I was very impressed with their friendly and professional attitude.
I am very happy with the walking boots I’ve purchased and will recommend this shop to others.

Asked for advice on walking boots and the assistant had no information. The ones I picked up were not available in my size. She did not make any suggestions about alternatives or ordering. I left and ordered online from another retailer. This is what is killing shops. No service or trying on.

Excellent Customer Service

Found a pair of climbing shoes in-store today for a great price. Aside from this, I was especially impressed with the impeccable customer service of Tiegan, TJ and James who all went above and beyond to make my experience quick and easy. Will definitely be returning to this store again for all my outdoor needs.
