Good Points: Generally good range of choice
Bad Points: Appear to be falling apart cost
General comments: Clarks Shoes - My daughter has only been in reception for less than 2 weeks and the back of the sole of her shoes are badly frayed with great chunks missing! All she has done in run around like a normal child. I took them back to the shop but they only had one pair in her size - black patent, not really suitable for school! I was offered vouchers in exchange but can't send my daughter to school without shoes so will have to wait till the weekend to phone lots more branches to see what's in stock!

When my daughter was small I had a couple of pairs seemingly badly fitted, I didn't return as a customer until recently now she is 9 and I have a son of 5. Alas, now have had another bad experience where the machine measured a half size wrong for her and then my son was fitted a whole size wrong apparently just because they didn't have his size and they said it would be ok to go up a size and down a width. I feel it is disappointing that they trade of a brand name which has been around for so l ...

I think Clarks is a very good shop I would rather buy one pair of higher priced shoes than 7 pairs of cheaper ones and the shoe care works fantastically.

I used to buy Clarks shoes for my children for the last few years, however my branch in Lewisham, S.E. London never seems to have the sizes available, there are a few styles on display but due to the lack of sizes available I have just stopped buying shoes from there, I have 3 children and it is a nightmare when going in and I am only able to get shoes for 1 child, I have just given up now and buy Startrite or Geox which are excellent.

The choice for Clarks shoes has gone downhill greatly. I haven't found any compromise with the quality however. My children walk to and from school every day each journey being 0.6 miles. The shoes were brought last September at the start of the school year and are still going strong. The girls are comfortable and their feet are looked after. The two pairs cost me £60 but I feel it was well worth it.
If Clarks could just expand the range of styles and available sizes I would be happier. ...

Clarks provide a poor older girls' school shoe selection to start with; they rarely have many sizes in stock; there is no help from the shop in finding correct size; the Clarks head office has run out of nearly all G width girls' school shoes already from the Spring new catalogue - they only offer 2 shoes in a G anyway now; plus the children's shoe fitters I've found to nearly always be poor at fitting. Go to shops selling Startrite & equivalent - they are cheaper or the same price and fitting ...

We tried to purchase a pair of school shoes and they had not got any in my daughters size so we asked if they could order a pair but they said no and gave us a customer ordering card and we looked at it and we had to pay '£3.00 extra which was annoying but clarks is the only place/brand that do children's school shoes.it was half term so they should have ordered more shoes in various different sizes

I would rather travel around looking than put her in anything else. Startarite is another good shoe. I leave the shop knowing that my daughters feet are safe. Feet are for life they need protecting. I work in a school and I see children wearing cheap shoes, and when they are running in the playground their shoes are falling off! They can't skip in them and they are always complaining their feet hurt. They wear these fashionable light weight ballerina style with no support at all. One girl ...

I have a daughter who will be eleven in October. She needs a size 51/2-6 in Navy. She would love to have a pair of shoes with a buckle / T -bar. There is nothing! The only choice we have are lace up when the heels are too high, with platform soles and heavy to wear. In most schools the rule for footwear is a 1cm sole and 2 1/2 cm heel maximum. The lowest we can find at Clarks is 3 1/2cm heels. It's about time shoe manufacturers realised that children are taller now, with bigger shoe sizes requi ...

It appears that the shop workers are put under enormous pressure to sell more shoe care products and handbags. I find this insulting to the customer and feel that it is demeaning for the staff. I will no longer shop with Clarks

With two weeks before school goes back, we tried to purchase black school shoes from our local Clarkes only to be told that they had just two styles, both in patent ... We felt embarrassed for the staff who were obviously trying to be helpful but continued our search to a private company spending £40.00. A loss for Clarkes

I went to buy some summer shoes yesterday for my seven year old daughter, and I was appalled at the lack of styles that Clarks had to offer. They were either too high, or the only suitable sandal for school was black, which is great for the winter but not for those hot school days!! I feel that no thought has gone into this seasons and last seasons selection. Come on Clarks, do you want your loyal customers to go elsewhere??

I have always bought Clarks shoes for my kids, relying on their reputation. However, I have in the last couple of years become extremely disillusioned! The shoes wear out too quickly and look scruffy within a week of wear. However, a positive note - at least they are worn out before they grow out of them, which doesn't say much as they do not allow enough room for more than a couple of months anyway!! I now buy Tesco school shoes, and they are fab, and at a fraction of the price of Clarks!!

I purchased a pair of school shoes at a Clarks shoe shop relying on their good reputation. The shoes have worn down at the heel by over a quarter of an inch in less than a month. I would not recommend them to anyone any more. Kids wear their shoes all day and they need to be better quality than this.

Buy Clarks girls shoes and risk wasting your money - that's the experience of my friends and I this year. The formal girl's summer shoes have leather which is much thinner than usual - as a result the shoes are in a poor state after 8 weeks' wear. Doodles have suffered the most because Clarks have removed the protective rubber strip from across the toe - resulting in heavy wear, tears and holes after just a couple of weeks wear.
