I had an exceptional time at Blacks in Glasgow city centre today. Went in and asked where the hiking socks and boots were, had a look as I directed to them.

When I asked a member of staff, Andrew, about his recommendations based on needs of one pair of waterproof socks and some others he gave great and detailed advice. I also asked about the boots and he gave recommendations and was clear about what would be best if I were to also be wearing them out and about in town too. He understood that I had a preference toward fitness and recommended the barefoot boots which promote foot strength.

When I went upstairs and had questions about kfs kits, stoves, and tents which would also be good for music festivals, Holly was able to help me out massively. I mentioned briefly near the end of our conversation that I had been looking at the boots and shoes, she actually recommended a conversation with Andrew specifically, whom I had already spoken to. She gave great insights be camping for festivals and for fun generally and had useful anecdotes with stories behind her opinions on different pieces of kit and the brands based on her own experiences. I would definitely recommend going to anyone unsure about anything outdoorsy. I will absolutely be going back again!

Walking shoes

Ordered online two different sizes of walking shoes as I wasn't sure what size would be best. Easy return and refund system in place. All I needed was order number to return in shop .

Pathetic

I ordered pair of walking shoes for a birthday present I paid extra for next day service never arrived then got text the following day from DPD for deliver we had issues at hub (really don’t know how many times I’ve heard that from them) they would deliver Saturday between 3.30/4.45 had to leave my work as they would deliver then and driver would only leave if I gave a PIN code hours so I was there from 2.30 guess what never came. I couldn’t contact blacks customer service Monday to Friday only sent two emails to them telling them to cancel delivery. I paid £5.95 for next day 5 days later hadn’t heard from them or DPD I called eventually after language barrier they agreed full refund inc extra charge guess what they deducted carrier. Hopeless they’re loss I buy 4/5 pairs of gortex trainer walking shoes a year.

Frances and the Team

Well with the end of the month approaching and Christmas around the corner if thought I’d kill two birds with one stone and so blacks it was . A new jacket and boots for myself and my son got Jacket trousers socks and boots . I take my hat off to Frances and her team . It doesn’t matter if I’m buying a hat or an expensive jacket I’m always treated the same and made to feel welcomed. Frances and her team know there product knowledge and always I might add point me in the right direction. It’s a pleasure to shop in there and I just wish every other shop had that feel good factor but sadly not . I hope your company hand out awards because Frances and her team deserve one . I always leave feeling incredibly happy to know that this customer service still exists. Merry Xmas to everyone at Blacks .

Another round of excellent service from Top Dan. Forever in awe at the breadth of this man's knowledge. Quickly came to my rescue and helped me make the right choice for exactly the type of Jacket I was looking for. He even looks out for my wallet too ! To who ever the boss is, get this man a promotion!

Safari Purchases

I visited this store to purchase some supplies for my upcoming camping safari in Kenya/Tanzania.

Upon entering the store I was warmly greeted by Daniel K who was more than happy to assist me in sourcing what I needed. He was extremely knowledgeable about the products I was looking for and very polite and very helpful.

I was then served by Layla at the tills - who was also remarkably polite and friendly and very bubbly.

I will most definitely be returning to this shop in future. Thanks to the wonderful service and warmth I received from these staff members.
