Children shoe store in Milton Keynes

“Went into store 27/8/25 with our granddaughter who had broken her ankle 12 months earlier, since then she had not worn proper shoes due to her anxiety about her ankle. We had been to many shoe shops throughout Banbury and MK with no success in getting Isla in a pair of shoes. We went in Charles Clinkards and straight away were greeted with shop staff that so clearly wanted to help with the problem we had. Isla was seen by Madelaine no 6553, she talked and explained things to Isla who is only 9 years old. She came out with loads of different pairs of shoe/boots explaining how certain pairs would help support her ankle. Madelaine was so caring and supportive not worrying how much of her time we were taking up. Eventually she got Isla into a pair of boots, she was so excited she wore them straight away. You must be so pleased to have such a caring and helpful assistant working for you. Madelaine certainly gets 10 out of 10 from us, and we will make sure Clinkards is our first port of call next time Isla needs new shoes. Thank you from Charmaine (mother] Francis & Irene [Grandparents) Customer number 9990839209”

“Visited Runners Need in MK for an appointment with Jerry for some advice on running shoes after having recently been treated for a foot problem. He was incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable and worked really hard to help me find the most suitable shoes- definitely will be back - as not a service you could possibly get from an online shop. Thank you!!!”

“Amazing store crew.. right from the minute I walked in I felt very welcomed… Everyone had this big welcoming smile on their faces.. Special thanks to Brady, he made my experience worth it.. Well done guys”

“This is such a great shoe shop for children of all ages. The fitting service is better than any other shop I know, and this is based on my experience with my son and now my granddaughter 34 years on! They take time to check how the child walks without shoes first then find a perfect fitting shoe. I would be happy to travel to this shop if we lived a distance away, although we have now moved nearer and pass it every day! There is plenty of parking outside. I would highly recommend this shop. Ladies, you are doing a fantastic job.”

“Popped by today to discuss options on a shoe. Unfortunately the store didn’t have the correct size. Harry R was super helpful and professional ensuring I had the correct product to purchase online. Thanks”

“A nice sized next found at one end of the centre. Womens downstairs. Children's section. Men's upstairs. Homeware upstairs.. A lipsy section at the back too. Changing rooms available. An escalator for customer use. Till service was fast and efficient.”

“Popped in today for a browse. Your staff were so incredibly helpful. I was served by a young lad in a cream jumper (sorry I didn’t catch your name!) who was super helpful & friendly. I’ve missed customer service like this! You normally have to shout someone down for help but he greeted us, then helped me when I needed it! Shoes were too big unfortunately so no sale but a great experience. Thanks so much.”

“Nothing fancy just good casual clothing at really good prices. Quality is very good as well.”

“Very clean river island shop that’s organised and the items are nicely displayed! Always has a lot of sales and variety so it’s my go to River island store”

“Very Good Shop and professional Staff”

“Great customer service, excellent in store support from Sebastien in helping select a new pair of shoes for my daughter mid school year. Nothing was too much trouble, I liked his approach of getting what they had in stock in her size as opposed to my daughter choosing something & then being told it's not available. Will definitely be going back for shoes again. Brilliant all round experience for a task children don't like & parents not happy about paying twice in a year for shoes!”

“Phenomenal experience,the staff were very kind and especially zidaan abdulle did a great job attending my little sons need would recommend coming here.Beautiful just beautiful”

“Adil has been amazing a true asset to the business Helped me find some shoes that fitted.”

“Set over 2 floors. This is a medium sized shop. Homeware upstairs, but the area is pretty small. Children's downstairs. Changing rooms available. Parcel return point. Men's Shoes and bags too. Till service was fast and efficient. Lift and stairs available. I cannot fault.”

“Sabry was very helpful and got me the best shoes! 10/10 service”

“I went in to buy some trainers and the guy who helped me was extreamly helpful and knew exactly what type I was after. He was very efficient and I was in and out of the shop in no time. I think his name was Joe, I'm not sure if he is a manager but with his level of customer service and knowledge he should be. Very polite and professional. Thanks Joe. Now I have the trainers and my jd sports bag I can hang around out side mcdonalds with my brand new young persons starter pack.”

“Excellent member of staff helped me find what I needed excellent”

“Went to browse some shoes and ended up in the small samosa and sweet shop! All I can say is amazing, the lovely man explained what things were as I had no idea and let us sample some of the treats, will definitely be going back and gem of a find!”
