Aaya the assistant was very helpful and acted in my best interest even though I was very fussy about buying shoes. Nothing was too much trouble. Will certainly use again

Couldn’t be happier, thanks!
Brilliant experience at store. It is deceptively large due to their extensive basement stock. Managed to get everything we needed and more, especially thanks to Luciana who couldn’t not have been any more helpful. 5* for Luciana alone, amazing service.

Good range and not out of town.
I only required new sunglasses so a quick visit but you had a good range to choose from so found a suitable pair. The store was similar as before as a Blacks store in layout which is not a problem and good it’s still in the town centre.
Friendly staff as usual although I needed no assistance so all OK.

Bought a pair of hiking shoes here and employees were top tier. In particular, Sammi and Ciaron were great as they held a pair of shoes and were friendly throughout. 👍
