Amazing customer service

I went to buy a women parka today and Luciana and Veronica were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. They gave me advice about different brands, product features, and made the shopping easy without being pushy. It's difficult to find this level of customer service nowadays!
Really pleased. 100% recommended!!

Best Experience

Went to get a daypack for hike/trek on a Saturday afternoon at Reading store. The store was quite busy and as I was scanning through the backpacks, the staff assisting a lady approached me if he could help me to find the product I was looking for, after he finished helping her. I got my product and he swiftly processed the transaction within secs. Found him (Mr Ciaran) very friendly and made the process effortless. Many thanks to him and Go outdoors.

Visited Go Outdoor Express Reading

Visited Go Outdoor Express Reading, as i needed a new pair of new hiking boots. I was served by Veronica and she was great. She was extremely knowledgeable and did not force a sale of any particular product or accessory. Information was given and I was allowed to decide at my own pace.

I had a great experience at Go Outdoors on 31st Oct evening. Ciaran provided such a lovely and friendly service — patient, knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. He took the time to explain options and made the whole process really smooth. It’s rare to meet staff who care this much. Thank you, Ciaran! Will definitely return.

Helpful and knowledgable

Ciaran was helpful and knowledgeable about what might satisfy my my awkward feet’s needs. Good range of walking footwear, which is what I was interested in. Good value for money, especially with my discount card.

First time shop in Go Outrdoors

I have not shopped with Go Outdoors before.
The store in Reading used to be Blacks.
I bought ladies walking shoes- Peter Storm.
The assistant was polite but not very attentive, I didn't feel entirely welcome. I tried on size 7 shoes which were a bit snug and I stupidly didn't try on a size larger. I now have a pair of shoes that are not as comfortable as they should be. Its my own fault - but I didn't want to be a nuisance.

Very helpful fitting walking boots

Ciaran and Weronika helped me out lots by finding alternate sizes and brands until I was completely happy. Their knowledge of the range and technical details were also very helpful in my decision.
