The Carrickfergus town motto is Gloria Prisca Novatur – The Glory of the Old Made New – and what better way to do business.
I ordered my shoes and had them posted out to South Australia. Of course, when I tried them on I realised I probably could have done with half a size smaller. The returns department of Robinson's responded to each email and swapped the shoes with no issue. For quality shoes that I plan to have for a lifetime, I'm glad I spent the time to get the sizing perfect and glad I received excellent service throughout. I'd not hesitate to recommend Robinson's Shoes to friends looking for quality footwear and will readily relay my experience exchanging sizes.
Thank you! Good quality boots.
Delighted that Barkers still make the same type of shoes I bought 25 years ago and that Robinson's delivered two new pairs to Australia from England in just one week>
Purchased boots which, disappointingly, were no longer in stock. However, a timely intervention by customer services saved the day. Recommended.
Excellent service and shoes. Very promot service.
A wide range of shoes avallable, affordable prices, easy purchase procedure, free delivery to Italy. And finally the unique English shoes. What else?
I have bought many pairs of boots apart from one pair all were delivered within a week all at a very good prices and the loyalty vouchers save you even more on very good footwear which will last a lifetime.
A small issue to start with but professionally dealt with by Kenneth. Thanks again.

Plenty of quality shoes at excellent prices, fast and efficient service, good communication throughout, will definitely use this company again thank you.
I've been a Robinsons customer for a few years now and have purchased several pairs of Loakes, Barkers and Cheaney shoes from them. The range available is comprehensive and the level of service is always exceptional with great communication and fast delivery, something that you just don't get with the large faceless companies. Highly recommended.
Barker and Loake 8.5 shoes. Both pairs received in exact condition as left from the factory. Order processed and despatched efficiently. My preferred supplier for quality British shoes.
I have made several purchases from Robinson's and there service is first rate. They sale quality products and delivery in a timely manner. Also, they manage to throw in a nice surprise like a pair of socks or can of polish. Best Regards
Robinson's online system is easy and reliable to use. A highly recommended online website.
Last order went missing, current one still awaited after 3 weeks
I ordered my shoes and received them in the mail in only a week even though I live in Sweden - very swift delivery! The quality and condition of the shoes seems to be nice, although I can't really tell yet since I just received them.
I am writing this review as my husband (who the shoes were for) won't. My husband paid 175.00 for a pair of shoes, they are beautiful shoes but have three tony faults, one is the heel is a little chipped also the sole, and on top of the left shoes a tiny piece of material is missing - this shoes had passed inspection and were signed off!! I advised my husband to send them back as for the price he paid I would expect perfection, however he decided he could live with the minor faults as he wanted them for a particular event we were going to and if he send them back they would not be returned in time. So, the shoes are in fact quality, but they should never have passed inspection. Beautifally boxed and placed into separate shoe slips, also a free pair of socks.
