This detracts somewhat as there are often empty shops. However, in recent months it seems to have picked up a lot and I am back to enjoying my shopping experience with them. Especially at Christmas as they have carols etc and it all feels a little Dickensian! You can always find quirky presents and sit in the cafe and watch the world go buy. Good wheelchair access and a lift to the upper floor. At least as it is enclosed you don't get wet! Always a bonus.

There is a large shoe department, probably more for the older woman, and lots of nice handbags. The mens section is quite big. The home wares are lovely, some fab bedding and towels. Also candles and photo frames etc. Upstairs is the womans section, with a good range of both fashionable and practical items, some for the older woman. Their accessories are fab too with some very well priced silverware. Some great ballgown type dresses at good prices too! It has a cafe downstairs with yummy food at fgood prices.

Man, visiting Clarks is like something of a transportation back into childhood for me. And I was…read moreborn in the eighties, so that's a bit terrifying. *Sings Calvin Harris in her head* I remember that my Mum would not let me or my sister wear anything other than plain, leather, practical shoes from Clarks. It was a mixed experience really, as I used to love getting my foot measured on the cold tickly metal slider-meh-bobby, but I hated the resulting footwear. I decided to nip in to Clarks to see if anything had changed in all those years. (Not *that* many years, really. Ok. Maybe fifteen. Arg.) Well. Not a great deal has, in my honest opinion. The quality still appears to be the same, they always sold well made and durable shoes, there's no doubting that. And I guess, really, what we ought to look for in a shoe is just that. Not this fickle fashion business. But Clarks is longing for a bit of a style overhaul. There were some really nice boots on sale out front, but most (not all) of the shoes still had that dowdy taint which made them less attractive to me. I feel terrible about it, really. It's a total conflict, since aesthetically I have been conditioned to love impractical and damaging footwear. And yet politically, I want to love Clarks for offering a way out from bunions, varicose veins, bad arches and all the other awful ailments that I know high heels and such will deliver. Nonetheless, I can't give Clarks a bad review. They have steadfastly sold decent footwear, no matter the style, and may yet win me over so as I might be able to walk when I get older! I'll still wear those uber heels once in a while, like, but just not be a slave to them. That is the compromise! They sell a range of good leather, suede and other shoes, for a price that will be worth it in wear, for women, children and men across the board. And they're all right by me!

A wet and windy Easter bank holiday weekend. Been at the back of my mind for a while that I needed…read moreto get a new pair of shoes. Had previously tried buying on line, but had to return each pair bought because the fit wasn't right. Not been to Ilkley for a while and had gone there to suss out the M&S Food Hall given that my nearest M&S store (Keighley) closes in April. Might as well have a wander round while I'm here I thought. Clarks looked very welcoming in the rain, so I opened the door and went in ... and received one of the nicest greetings I've ever had walking through a shop door. Explained to the sales assistant (Helen) what I was looking for and she proceeded to show me several different pairs of shoes. Tried a few on and found a pair that were a very comfortable fit so bought them. Nothing out of the ordinary there you might think, but the welcome I was given combined with the care and attention to detail of the service received served to remind me why I prefer doing my shopping in the real world. Well done Clarks ... and well done Helen!

There are lots of beautifully made pairs to choose from, both of class and practicality it seems. They had a number of leather options, which my Mum would always sing the praises of when I was a child, and quite a number of stylish options too. Whether you are on the look out for leather ankle boots, fluffy sheepskin boots, suede pumps, trainers, leather pumps, work shoes, going out shoes and more, they seemed to have covered most options. As quality goes, from what I could glean, the condition of the shoes wasn't too bad. But it did spark up a conversation between my friend and I about shoe prices and quality nowadays. We were wondering if there was still such a strong correlation between those two factors as there used to be. I remember when I was 12 a £50-£100 pair of shoes meant that they would last for years and so the spend was invariably worth it. But does £50 get you that far now? Equally, can £10 take you further? I don't know. But my guess, with Schuberts at least, the high end high street prices are worth it for style. As for wear and tear, well, I'm guessing so too. But I couldn't afford it, this trip, to find out!

Its more of an 'alternative' shoe shop, selling skate type shoes and other similar items. I like loads of the shoes in here, and have bought some on many occasions, they seem to stock different shoes than elsewhere, which is good as I like shops who look for something different to interest customers. The guys who run the shop are really friendly and as its a small shop, they don't have much trouble seeing to everyone quickly and efficiently. The prices are kind of on the high side, but i'm not one to complain about paying for quality.

I was'nt hopeful as it didnt look the type of shop that would have shoes for kids ( loads of adult designer) I got a surprise school shoes, party shoes, sandals, boots, wellies and crocs and a big sale rack. A sales assistant measured my daughter's feet and then spent the best part of an hour sorting us out, she made sure the shoes we ended up with fitted perfectly and much to my little girls delight gave her sparkly purse when we paid for being such a good girl for such a long time. The shoes were not cheap at £30 (Hush puppies) but similar price to Clarkes with much better service. We also got a pretty pair in the sale range hush puppies again but at 75% off and the same fitting service as the full price pair what a bargain. I am definatly using this shop againit may not be local to me but well worth the trip as I feel good shoes are important whilst little feet are growing. We like Morecambe for a day out or weekend break so thats a plus as well.

In fact, it's so much about the leather that they only carry four or five trainers for boys. Jones Bootmaker also has a great range of shoe care products behind the counter. If you want to tenderly care for your shoes then they have brushes, polishes and shoe horns. Who would ever want to buy a wooden thing shaped like a foot that you put in a shoe to help it keep its shape? Is this the kind of thing a boy will never understand?
