“Ordered some boots to be delivered to Sheffield store. Received an email to say they were ready for collection in the Newcastle store. I Rang customer services they agreed that they would get them couriered to sheffield overnight. 2 days later received a call to say the boots were ready for collection in the Milton Keynes store. After 12 days I asked for a full refund!!!! Would I recommend NO.”

“I ordered x 2 pairs of shoes online, and needed to send them back to Charles Clinkards. Unfortunately my shop experience was poor, and it left me feeling both annoyed and possibly reluctant to order shoes in the future.”

“Disappointed to find the only reference to Charles Cinkard was on the outer wrapper of your parcel. The product is clearly marked 'Clarks', and I'm rather disappointed to find that the soles are ribbed ( not ideal for carpeted floors). I thought that I was buying a Charles Clinkard replacement, for the two pairs of Clinkard slippers that I have used for several years. Does the Clinkard product still exist, or is it now simply a brand?”

Thank you for your review. Your order was actually for a Clark's slipper and not a Charles Clinkard slipper. We do sell many different brands. If you choose Relax, they have the Charles Clinkard name within the slipper as they are made exclusively for us. https://www.charlesclinkard.co.uk/men-c9/relax-slippers-m181 I hope that this helps.

“I take a standard size 8(42) and these were sold as such. They turned out to be a size 41 and were too small. For the price paid, I decided not to walk a mile to the nearest post office and pay to return them, so they went to the nearest charity outlet.”

“Bought the reiker Elton chelsea boots in darlington store I find them uncomfortable also they leak water in at the sole wouldn't recommend them”

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately due to the stitching around the sole of this lovely boot, they are not waterproof. We are sorry to hear that you find them uncomforatble and hope that in time as the leather warms and adjusts to your feet, they do become more comfortable for you. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your order was shipped on the 7th November and is on it's way to you. A colleague replied to your email yesterday with the tracking information, I hope you have now received this. As you're overseas, delivery can take a little longer. However, your order should be with you soon. I hope our correspondence helps but if we can provide you with any further assistance, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards, Rosie, Customer Services.

“I returned my Gabor boots which were too small and had to pay £8.95 return postage. To ensure the cost if lost in transit was covered. I complained about this cost via their email which promised a response within 48 hours. I have not yet had a response. I also spoke to customer care and still have not received a response. I would not recommend using this website for purchasing footwear as it is unreasonable to expect customers to pay £8.95 if they are not a good fit.”

Thank you for your review. We do recommend a tracked service but you do not have to do this. There is a link on our website to Collect + which is £4.49 and covers up to 10 kilos. You can also take a return back to any Charles clinkard store for refund. We reply to all emails within 48 hours, I have looked for one from you and can only find emails back in 2018, where we spoke to you about a handbag. I am sorry to see that your email has not come thorugh to us therefore you have not had a response. We do like to help when we can. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“I bought Gabor Jenkins boot black size 5.5, it came without the box, apparently the box was damaged !! But size 5.5 is still available to purchase!! They didn’t even pack it in another box !! Just placed it in some flimsy waxed tissue !! Not even the Gabor packing !! With no packing inside the boots either !! When I complained thry said sorry the original box was damaged!! What like on every size 5.5 !! I don’t think so !! I want the box !! So they say I now have to go to my local store to collect a box !! At my insistence they eventually agreed to refund my travel costs !! I will never shop with Clinkards again !! I expected much better customer service !! Very dissatisfied & disappointed !!”

Hello Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear your purchase wasn’t sent out to you in its original packaging. As explained unfortunately the box was damaged and we did not feel it would be acceptable to send them out in the original damaged box to yourself. We packed them in one of our boxes, wrapped in tissue but unfortunately no padding for the boots was provided which we apologise for. We always aim to send out our shoes presented to a standard we expect. I am glad to hear we managed to source you a replacement box from one of our stores and your travel costs have been covered for retrieving it. Once again please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards Michael Customer Services

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you were sent an item that you found to be in a 'sorry' state. All items should be quality checked before sending out, and we have let you down on this occasion. Thank you for letting one of our branches arrange an exchange for you.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry if you found the description of the boots not to be accurate. I have looked at other reviews and there are many that say they are lovely and wide and the odd couple that say that they are not.

“Disgusted that not only are returns nor free, your collect plus returns doesn’t insure anywhere near the. Cost of 3 pairs shoes I want to return. A very expensive purchase so won’t be using you again!”

Helpful Report

Posted 1 year ago

Thank you for your review. As stated in our terms and conditions, delivery is free which we pay for, and any exchanges are sent to customers again at our cost, but returns are at the customer own cost. We do not have our own courier, the link on our website is to Collect+ but is an external company but you may use whichever service you wish. You can take orders back to a Charles Clinkard store, you have up to one year so long as the item is unworn or maybe send back by Royal Mail second class to keep costs low. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“The shoes cost £95.00 and they are too big I ordered my normal size so I know have to pay to return them this is my last purchase on the internet”

Thank you for your review and sharing your findings with regard to the shoes. Your comments will help others when they are browsing. You can take the shoes back to a Charles Clinkard store, you have up to one year so long as unworn, there are a few not too far away from you if you are in the area at all. There is a link on our website for £4.49 with Collect + which will cover the return of your shoes, however you may find a different postal service which is cheaper. I hope that this information is of help. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Still haven’t received my order after nearly 2 weeks!”

Helpful Report

Posted 1 year ago

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately there was an incorrect email address and no telephone number on your order to contact you and let you know that your order was ready to be collected. I can see from your order, that you called into store to collect your item and asked for a refund on the day. This has been done for you. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Delivery too slow”

Helpful Report

Posted 1 year ago

Thank you for your review. We do have a free standard delivery offer which will be dispatched within 5 working days. There is also express at £3.99 and next day at £5.99. As we do not have our own courier we use DPD or Royal Mail, usually an overnight service. I can see that you ordered on 31st August and received on 5th September. I am sorry that you were disappointed with the time your delivery took. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“We ordered a pair of shoes for our sons return to school. Like most people we leave this until the last week of the holidays as kids feet grow at a silly rate. Anyway we ordered them for delivery to store. Picked them up on the last Friday of the holidays. Opened them at home only to realise that the shoes where different and obviously couldn't be worn. Spoke with customer service who weren't that helpful other than advising to send them back, they also wouldn't send a replacement until these had been received back. In the end we decided to ring around all the stores closest to us and managed to locate a pair in stock, the same what we'd ordered. This store was over an hour away which in today's market probably cost me £10 in fuel. On this occasion, I was very unhappy with Clinkards.”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you found these Clark's school shoes to be small, they are Clark's measurements and I am sorry that on this occasion it was not right.

“Shoes ordered 29 August… tracking didn’t work - lost in transit. Second pair sent overnight on 6 sept. Still nothing. Waiting for some answers, but told I “might” get them by Monday. Two weeks for delivery of a pair of shoes… disappointing at best.”

Thank you for your review. Looking at the tracking on this order, it reads as delivered yesterday (Thursday 8th). Please can you call us on 0345 241 7742 or email sales@clinkard if this is not the case? It may be that you had a delivery after you left this review, so we hope that you find all to be in order. We are sorry about the time it is taking for deliveries at present, we do not have our own courier and use Royal Mail and DPD. With the strikes at the present time, this is having an impact. We apologise for your inconvenience. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Terrible experience in terms of delivery. 2 pairs of school shoes ordered 2 weeks prior to new school term, delivery rescheduled 4 times due to 'unforeseen circumstances'. When DPD were contacted they were very unhelpful saying the delivery van's sat nav was down so they couldn't tell where the driver was. Eventually shoes arrived 3 days after school term started so they will be returned as I had to buy alternatives.”

“why say you have the stock and after it's ordered and paid you say you don't have it and all the hassel to get the money returned poor show.”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry that this has happened, we had low stock and unfortunately, there were a few orders for the same item and we had to cancel these shoes from your order as it is a first come first served basis. This is not something that we like to see happen and we apologise sincerely that on this occasion it has caused inconvenience to you. We do hope that you find something else that you like as much.
