General Comments

As far as I am aware they rarely have school shoes in stock in holiday times and expect us to buy shoes 6 weeks before new school year starts, otherwise they seem to say 'what do you expect?' when nothing's left 2 weeks prior. Fitting has been a problem for me I feel I can do better than the fitters. I have to question each time and get a different width, length, or both. I've had this at 4 Clarks shops where the fitters will sell you shoes too wide (just stick an insole in, and we're left with bagging leather across the foot), shoes too short ('any longer and she'll slip forward' even when the toe is less than 1/4" from the end), the list is endless for me.

For me its always disappointing. Poor range of school shoes in my opinion, most especially Bootleg. High clobbery heels are not suitable for my 9 year old which as far as I am concerned all they had. The cost is too much for me personally and rivalling Startrite now. £40 for Bootleg is not worth it for me.

    Go to shops stocking Startrite & other European shoes. The fit is going to be good and you won't be stuck with fitters who aren't bothered with you and would rather look out of the window.

    Thanks to excellent treatment and fitting from Stepping Out in Castle Douglas yesterday (4/4/08). What a far cry from Clarks.
