Clarks shoe sale (merged)

Hello
Just returned from a shoe buying trip with my 4 and 2 year old.
Was extremely surprised when my daughter's doodles only cost £8.00 instead of the £14.00 on the price ticket.
Dear son has feet too wide for the doodles in the shop so will have to make do with his ankles boots until we find something suitable.
Sarah

PS Can't believe that in a city shopping centre there is no alternative to the One clarks shoe shop for children.

    I'm waiting to kit out my two girls - I think it should be soon. Last year it started before other shops had their sales.

    i just bought some doodles for my son for £8. they're school plimsolls, you know the ones they use for PE. they have velcro fastenings and are in a G fitting (he's got fat feet lol!). they're the only plimsolls that fit him, but £8 seems expensive to me for plimsolls lol!

    Hi, it might be worth saying that the sale doesn't seem to be on at every branch so it is worth ringing up to check whether your local branch is taking part. We managed to pick up some trainers at 50% off so were very pleased.

    The branches that aren't having the sale will be independent shops that stock clarks. I went to a shop in clitheroe that wasn't having a sale for this reason
    Give me the boy until he's seven and i'll give you the man.

    I went to Clarks Galleons Reach, Beckton last night hoping to get my daughter some shoes (15 mths), nothing much in sale - just load of old rubbish!

    If anyone has been to any of the other branches e.g. Romford, Ilford, Lakeside - would be glad to hear if their sale is any good.

    I think some Clarks shops are franchised. There are two on Hounslow High Street and certainly one is a franchise.

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if the Clarks Shoe sale starts next Monday. It normally starts the first week in December.

    regards
