Still comfy, but the warranty?

I’ve been wearing the Jack Wolfskin Refugio boots I bought in January for easy weekly hikes and dog walks — nothing hardcore, just rolling hills and muddy paths — and they’ve be... Read onBy: Scarlett Mitchell

    Big order from their website

    I ordered a bunch of stuff from this website and was really looking forward to it arriving. But you know what? It took forever to get here! I had to contact customer service, and all they said was, "Sorry, it'll be with you soon!" Then, when it finally did arrive, I was hit with a huge customs charge that I hadn't budgeted for. Why didn't they warn me about that when I made my order? And when I tried to talk to customer service about it, they totally ignored me! Not cool at all. I definitely won't be shopping there again.

    Backpack, base layer, and odds & ends

    While I was shopping for a backpack, a really friendly assistant came up to me and gave me some great advice. They were super helpful and chatty as I picked out a backpack. I then asked them for a suggestion for a hiking top base layer for my friend, describing his size roughly. The assistant found the ideal size for my friend and I also ended up getting a few other things. I was really impressed with the variety of products, the excellent service, and the great value for money.

    Backpack and hiking boots

    I ordered a new backpack and hiking boots online, but when I checked, they said they were out of stock and cancelled my order out of nowhere! I relied on them, but now I don't know if I can trust them again.

    Bought a rad jacket

    I recently bought this really cool jacket from that shop, and it is honestly the best thing ever! The store had some amazing stuff, and the staff were super helpful. However, I was a bit disappointed because I didn't get a receipt. How am I supposed to remember how much I spent on my awesome jacket? They definitely need to sort that out.

    New hiking boots

    I recently went to the Droitwich branch and had a really good experience with Matt. He sorted out the warranty for my hiking boots and now I've got a shiny new pair on the way. It was all really easy, and I'm really pleased with the service.

    Walking sandals purchase

    I visited the shop in Belfast the other day to buy some walking sandals, and I have to say, the selection they had was truly impressive. The lad who was looking after the footwear section was not only really friendly but also knew so much about the products. He took the time to let me try on different sandals till I found the ones that were just right for me. Even though I didn't buy them straight away, I popped into a few other shops in Belfast, like Trespass, and was pretty let down by the service there. So in the end, I ended up going back to Cotswold Outdoor to get those sandals I'd had my eye on from the beginning.

    Hiking boots

    I recently bought some hiking boots online, but they weren't what I was hoping for. The website had two different boots shown, and I ended up receiving my second choice. I attempted to reach out to customer service, but they weren't very helpful. They basically told me there was nothing they could do and didn't seem bothered that they had advertised two different boots as one. I tried contacting them again, and they suddenly changed their tune, claiming there was only one type of boot shown. Honestly, take a look at the pictures yourself and see if you can spot the difference. It's like a game of spot the difference, but with hiking boots.

    Walking boots

    The shop was really great and the bloke who helped me out was dead nice. He measured my feet and asked loads of questions to make sure I got the perfect boots for walking. It was just a cracking experience!

    Hiking boots

    The customer service I got at this outdoor shop was top-notch. The guy working downstairs at the branch near the Strand really knew his stuff and was so helpful. He listened to what I needed and made sure I ended up with the right size of hiking boots. He even recommended I wear them at home for a couple of days to double-check they were just right. I'm over the moon with my buy and really thankful for his help.
