You can easily get a pair of school shoes for £20 while proper clarks shoe shops charge about £30 for the same pair. If you go to Clarks Village to buy children's footwear, (school shoes) allow plenty of time! Get the feet measured choose the shoes and then get them fitted. Sounds simple maybe not Firstly, get the feet measured. If the child is small (baby or toddler) they ask for them to be sat down to be measured manually. To get an accurate measurement the child must be sat on the very edge of your lap or a seat with there legs dangling if they are not you will not get the right measurement. this is a good time to check how useful the person measuring the feet are if they take measurements without the legs dangling freely time to ask for someone else to measure as they don't know what they are doing. If the child's feet are bigger they get measured by the machine fold up the Childs trousers so you can see there legs are straight and pull there socks tight to get he feet measured. Make sure they are stood upright not leaning etc. The staff at Clarks village have always measure my daughters feet very accuratly and even checked the shoes don't rub.

I went through a lengthy complaint procedure with Clarks where as a "Outlet Store" buy they make you feel like a second class citizen. I was advised it would take time to deal my complaint because of the number of them they have which I think says it all. Finally I was told that because the shoes were from the adult section (he is too large for their childrens range) they were not designed for school use. Seriously? the soles wore through in 8 weeks ... how can that in anyway be considered good? They did offer me a £40 voucher for another pair of shoes but to be quite frank why would I want another pair of Clarks if they will only last 8 weeks? So while the shoes may look cheap it is because they are cheap. Avoid, Avoid Avoid!!

Then to add insult to injury, they charge you to park in the car park!! To be fair, there is a huge range of shops here with anything from Adidas to Next to Waterford Wedgewood.

This store is mid-sized with a bright, slightly clinical feel. It is generally quite tidy and well laid out with menswear at one side, ladieswear at the other and childrens wear at the front left as you enter the doors. Although the prices are discounted, I wouldn't go so far as to say they are cheap - although there is usually a sales rack in the middle of the shop that do have a few items that are cut to half price or less (although it is often easy to see why this is the case!) Being Gap - they do have a good range of jeans and casual tops but their childrenswear has the best appeal. Casual and cute, they sometimes have good discounts and can be well worth the price.
