We have a wide selection of shoes for Men and Women.
The Cribbs Causeway shopping mall and leisure complex features several retail giants, restaurants and a cinema, and is home to the Charles Clinkard Bristol which has been a resident since 1998. Combining a fantastic range of men & women’s footwear and accessories, the teams prime focus is on quality customer service which is what makes them stand out in the sea of other footwear specialists in the centre. Always looking for ways to improve the store, shop manager Laura and her passionate team members, aim to ensure every customer no matter how young or old has a successful trip and enjoys their visit to her store. With around 7,000 free parking spaces at Cribbs Causeway, a trip to our store via car is easiest with a bus journey coming in second due to the centre having its own station. 
Famously the first place to produce a chocolate bar suitable for widespread consumption (at Fry’s Chocolate), and hosting the first ever bungee jump (at Clifton Suspension Bridge) Bristol is a fascinating city in England’s Southwest. A place with many talents Ribena was also invented here, and hot air balloons have been produced in Bristol more than anywhere else in the world! There is also the Thombury castle for panoramic views and 16th century history.
Shopping can be a hefty activity, so why not take a break from the fast-paced world of Cribbs Causeway and slip into Starbucks just a few moments’ walk from the store, for a hot toasted sandwich and your usual coffee order. If you want to maximise your visit to the area, take a short eight minute car journey from the shopping mall and leisure complex to the Bristol Air Hop - a trampoline park with fun for the whole family, or if you're a little further afield make some summer plans to visit Bristol when they host the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta in August and you will see a sky sprinkled with a multi-coloured array of the flying aircrafts.
For over 19 years, Laura has worked for Charles Clinkard at their Bristol branch. The self-motivated mother of two started in 2007 as Floor Manager, progressing to Assistant Manager and then becoming Manager in 2014. No two days are the same for Laura, she could be managing and monitoring staff and sales performance one moment and then training staff the next! She strives to ensure that every customer leaves the store having had a positive experience and with the desire to return. One of Laura’s fondest memories is the refit that the Bristol store had in 2024 which Laura has described as being one of the best things to experience and has created a far better working and shopping environment.
The most rewarding part of Laura's job is getting to know such a wide ranging and diverse group of people; her staff, customers and colleagues in the wider Charles Clinkard business and supporting and developing the skills of those she works with and creating a positive team that are always working to succeed. Competitive by nature, Laura is always striving to be the best. She used to compete at a national level for athletics, and in her spare time loves to be outdoors, learning new skills to support my career growth and watching her children play for their rugby and football teams.
The top tip Laura would recommend to customers is to invest in looking after your new shoes! Protect, Renovate and revive.
