As a child, all I wore were Clarkes shoes - yes they were more expensive than those from the market…read moreor the cheaper shops, but my mum insisted we had decent shoes to last (and fair enough mine did - not my fault my feet didn't grow very fast!)...and I still remember the excellent quality and design of the products. This doesn't mean Clarkes are old-fashioned though - they are trying to break the more fashionable market, and to some degree are certainly succeeding especially within the boots market, and fashionable work shoeshowever this isn't the case with standard shoes (which look like they were designed 50 years ago) and men don't exactly get the same choices that women receive. Prices too can be astronomical when you consider the current climate, but you do have to bear in mind that quality does persist and sometimes its worth paying that little bit more.

Located halfway up Newbury Highstreet, River Island is situated in quite a small store (although is…read moredoes have women's clothing on the ground floor, and men's clothing on the first floor). This does mean that clothing is quite often crammed in, and displays not as prominate as they could be. Clothes tend to be within colour ranges allowing you to look for particular items quite quickly, with shoes and accessories towards the rear of the shop. Customer service isn't brilliant, and I often find some of the assistants a bit snotty - but then customer service isn't what it used to be. Clothing ranges are vast and obviously very fashionable, but that does mean a lot of the prices are reflected in this - sorry but I'm not paying £25 for a simple t-shirt.

I find treating the customer this way is contemptuous Today I returned a Masai cotton top which I bought a year ago, yes I know you are thinking well you have had it a year, yes and I would say the same if I had worn it every week and got my wear out of it, when in fact I had worn it only 5 times. I pointed this out to the store supervisor but she wasn't interested in that. She just kept saying well you have had it a year. Needless to say I did not get a refund but then knowing how they deal with returns I was not expecting one. Whilst I am on the subject I find the staff on the concession counters abysmal, they might a well have a do not disturb sign around their neck.

Jeans tend to dominate the front entrance of the store, with there multitude of designs, colours and prices. The majority of the clothes are off reasonable quality, although I wouldn't buy anything in black (fades too quickly!) and are low to mid range prices. The shoe range (despite always being very messy and untidy) is quite well stocked, and shows a good balance between work shoes, casual shoes and glamour shoes. Also available within the store are the Inspire range and the young teen ranges.

The store can be quite chaotic at times and I find that whatever the spray their clothes with brings me out in a rash (sensitive skin!) so I tried not to spend a long time browsing the clothes sections. I have found some great bargains within the homeware range though, ranging from last years expensive kitchen designer set (RRP £100) bought for £25to ornate mirrors reduced to less than £5. Other accessories available include smellies, bags, shoes and suitcases.

Just because the label says it was going for £120 and now it's £35, when was that, for 5 mins in their Outer Hebrides outlet? Having said all that you can get some reasonable stuff in their homeware section which is, by comparison to the clothing, reasonably laid out.

Prices are very reasonable, although the quality of the clothes often reflects this with black items fadding after a couple of washes and buttons becoming loose rather promptlyhowever if your into fashion and change your outfit as often as you have hot showers then this is ideal - why spend a fortune when you can entertain all the fashion ideals for a fraction of the price. Stock ranges are wide and varied, although the shoe section is often difficult to ascertain due to it's constant disarray of design, but thankfully the majority of the store doesn't follow this routine!
