nice joke

I used to buy my daughter cheap school shoes and they would last a couple of months but lately been buying clarks and she finds it almost impossible to wear these out. Would recommend clarks childrens shoes. Worth the extra money

Go to Tesco, quality would be better. And cheaper too

got a few pairs of clarks shoes. very good quality :smile:

I do not think anybody suggested tescos (sic "Tesco's") shoes were made in england (sic "England").

Lol where do you think tescos shies are made surely not in england

Junction 32 m62

WHich Mway is that as Im down South.

To be honest my comment was flippant but does come with experience of buying Clarke shoes which I have to say are poor quality. My girls only where DM shoes for school (as other pairs for leisure) and quality is outstanding and amazing customer service. (Never bought Tesco shoes or clothes so shouldn't have commented on their quality).

Clark's quality has gone downhill and their customer service is terrible! I had a pair of boots, that had hardly been worn for 6months, fall apart due to poor workmanship (the lining just perished in the heels). They offered me 50% of my money back because I had had them 6 months, without any consideration of the obviously little wear they had had (clear from the outer leather and sole). They wouldn't budge even with discussions with head office - they said I would have to post them in at my own expense for "examination'. They lady behind the counter said "she had no power" to make a decision. They lost my custom for ever more for the sake of 30 odd quid. Start-rite are far better quality and even better are Geox - the quality is amazing and my boys pair look brand new after 6 months of heavy wear! Well worth the extra money, but you can sometimes get them on sale. If you really must buy Clarks, I would only buy them via John Lewis as their customer service is amazing.

i guess you must be working for tesco

If you can get to the clarks outlet at junction 32 you can get 2 pairs of school shoes for £25.

You're having a laugh aren't you - the supermarket shoes are a waste of money - my son's mother buys my son school shoes cheap and the "leather" is scuffed off after one day. I got sick of seeing my son in scuffed shoes so buy him clarkes or marks and spencer. Last the entire year at school. He was going through three pairs a term on supermarket shoes!

well tell that to my fat feet now that I've put on a few stone as an adult 8-)

Yes I bought the cheapest pair at £32 a couple of months ago and the Velcro doesnt stick properly after that short time.

nice one thank you. saved myself 25 smackeroonies.

clarks outlet is better value

Is this in store too? Shame there are no men's sandals on sale on their website.

I got concerned when all the shoes were being made in India and Vietnam but the day i saw them switch to imitation stitching where its rubber instead of real stitching tipped me over the edge.

Clark's aren't as good as they used to be. In my experience m & s shoes last longest. Clark's around 3-6 months. m & s, 9-12 months

Same prices as found at a clarks outlet

Need to pay £10-£20 more RRP for same quality as they were a few years' ago. That's because we run a bit inefficient at the UK end, may be better to fire all the English managers and replace them with Germans.

You can order your sale shoes for instore delivery - they'll fit them for you and then send back what you don't need.

Clarks seems to be the only shoe shop in the UK that do half sizes for kids 1-5.

They seem to have a monopoly on correct shoe sizes for toddlers...

​Which Indian website are you mentioning please.?

lol - asda maybe... tesco shoes fall apart very quickly.

don't think foreign labourers do quality control for 5p a day!! lol! the days of quality and british in the sentence long gone sadly!

I disagree with this statement but fact is Clarks' quality deteriorated terribly, too. They wear out much quicker than they used to and also you can find stitching faults which can make child's feet hurt or uncomfortable. .If they have a quality department they all needs to get re-trained!

Always have your child's feet measured before buying shoes, feet development from 1-5 critical!!

Can't see any kids school shoes in the sale items. Although, I didn't expect too..

I bought a pair of Clarks boots, the leather came apart from the sole in multiple places. Can't believe it as it's a boot so should be hard wearing. Clarks gone downhill.

I think they added the 50% on the price.

They do a nice pair of lemon soles.

which store??? could be next to clarks one?:laughing:

Clarks are great, they have outlasted many fancy brands I've tried.

Thanks! Just ordered

I've only purchased from a stockist (where they measure up) or from the website where shoes are supplied in various widths. Guess it depends where you shop.

Do start rite not measure widths anymore we were told in our shop.
Is that correct?

Tesco shoes better quality! Ha ha! Should of gone to specsavers!!!

nice.... ;-)

Worth it with 50%, I also like to buys the kids Start Rite shoes, found these have the edge in terms of quality and definitely last a bit longer. That being said they're usually more expensive! But good deal, thanks OP.

good deal

thanks ordered for my little one

Ordered a pair of new leather work shoes for £20 click and collect. Was going to spend £10 in new look on basic ones but these will be miles better!

Tesco & Quality really should not appear in the same sentence.........ever.

plenty stock n sizes in abbey centre Belfast got two pairs thanks op heat added this morning visit was worthwhile

//I always buy the next size up in the sales!//
Did you know your feet stop growing when you're an adult?!?!!!!

No pairs of school shoes. Size 12 or 13.

Pft

:laughing: good one. tell me another.

Geox shoes are by far the best for my boy. He destroyed a tesco pair in a week and a clarks pair in 3 weeks, Crocs shoes lasted a little longer (3 months) but he actually out grows Geox. Geox shoe are priced the same as Clarks but you can get some good deals in the sales. I managed to get some for £12.50 a pair from John Lewis in their sale about 6 months ago.

If you're concerned about quality, simply wipe the shoes with a Nokia 3310 and they will become indestructible.

Had Clarks and Tescos for my child...both fell apart, now on to Aldi for the last term!

Too expensive the clarks outlet near me is cheaper

Glue comes off and soles fall apart with many Clarks shoes. They do give a minor £10 voucher if you kick up a fuss. Many Clarks shoes are made in India. They are not British shoes! But, they still last longer than Brantano, Matalan and Tesco for my children! I cannot justify £60 for a pair. Even £30 seems steep. Check out the prices on the Indian websites!

Go to Tesco, quality would be better. And cheaper too

Recently got a pair of shoes from Clarks on sale, full price was around £80. Soles were halfway gone after 10 days of walking on holiday. Similar Merrells and Sketchers I've got are absolutely fine after 3 years..

Maybe just an unlucky pair but I'll avoid Clarks from now.

I've bought clarks but my kids get them scuffed up in next to no time, so stick to Tesco.

Still expensive!
Wait for the sale prices to fall further.

Don't forget 5.05% cashback from TopBackCash.

better than next no chance of tesco quality anywhere near these

Thank you op I only buy Clark's for my children xx

Thanks for this, was wanting to buy my children some new shoes and prefer Clarks. Heat added

got a few pairs of clarks shoes. very good quality :smile:
