Clarks shops are basically the same all over the UK so there are no surprises - you'll find a great range of sturdy kids shoes (and adults too, but we always go here mainly for the kids !)but the prices are relatively high. You do get what you pay for though. The staff are friendly and competent, they know how to put the children at ease and are quite happy to spend time measuring feet and checking sizes.

The ticket system is handy to avoid stressful queuing as it can get busy. read more
