Outdoor Clothing And Equipment Shops in Aberdeen, Scotland

“I am not local to this store, it was the reviews that made me make the effort to visit and I am glad I did. I needed a new pair of walking boots/trainers, an experience I usually detest as I have blister prone feet and hate new footwear. I was helped through my shopping experience by John, who patiently listened to my inane questions and offered advice which in the end resulted in me buying quite different to which I originally intended. It appears most of my blister problems have been due to socks, who knew??!!! I am VERY pleased with my purchases. I cannot recommend Blacks enough. As a side, the store seemed very well stocked with lots of everything. All I can say is it is a good job I never visited on pay day.”

“Came in for a boot fitting, amazing service as always. Friendly, patient & knowledgeable staff, good range of quality options. Insoles & boots fitted before we left the store.”

“Superb customer service. I saw two very busy members of staff around. Was in the Aberdeen store and I was being indecisive. Young man was extremely helpful and I cannot praise him enough - sorry, I didn't catch his name, but he deserves five stars for his patience.”

“Visited on the 15th July for a boot fitting appointment. Was served by a lovely girl called Karen. She listened to exactly what I wanted the boots for and the requirements I had. After measuring my feet and explaining the 3D scan and reassuring me that I was not a hobbit she showed the patience of a saint. She brought 4 pairs of boots and thoroughly explained the features and befits of each pair. She checked the fitting of each pair and decided to go down a half size. After comparing the boots - wearing a left and a right from each pair to compare and walking up and down the wee ramp front ways, side ways and even baby running steps and jumping up and down, and a lesson in different ways to tie your laces,we managed to choose the perfect pair.

I like to live on the edge so didn’t break them in and went straight up the hills today and my goodness this girl did her job - really comfy pair of boots! Thoroughly recommend this service. Appointment took 1.25 hours and at no point did I feel pressured or an inconvenience. In fact all 3 members of staff that I met all chatted away to me. Lovely shop and staff. I’ll be back!”
