Five stars service
I can't fault McConnell shoes. I ordered the wrong size and the assistance I received was first class. Return was so easy and replacement arrived in jig time. Alla and Chris especially helpful. My granddaughter over the moon with glitter butterfly boots. Would recommend 100%
Excellent Customer Service
Just want to let you know that my shoes arrived here in California yesterday and I am very happy with them. I already had a pair of the Jana shoes and wanted the same in a different colour.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you Alla for the great service you provided when I phoned the shop in Cookstown; I was a bit impatient with you because I was in a hurry to leave for work, but you were very patient and helpful and took the time to place the order online for me.
I grew up outside Cookstown and my family moved there when I was a teenager; I have lived in California for almost thirty years but usually visit family every summer and sometimes in November and I love to shop in McConnell's as I always find lovely shoes - especially in your sales. Obviously I haven't been able to fly over there this year due to the coronavirus, but I hope to be back again next year.
Thanks again
Excellent service

you again.

Another satisfied customer
We have now bought 2 pairs of Garvalin shoes during lockdown/Covid for our little girl. She had a pair prior to this, so we knew the brand was reliable and the fit was wide enough for her. She utterly loved her watermelon shoes for the summer and is delighted now with her winter patent shoes. Both pairs arrived quickly and were good value. We’re just sad to see her grow out of the watermelon ones! Thank you for keeping us kitted out!
Very impressed
Just wanted to say a big thank you for sending me my shoes so promptly..very impressive. And they are wonderful. I would recommend your online shop to anyone and look forward to ordering from you again.

Impressive service!
Awesome little business
Such an awesome little business! We needed to get our little girl her first shoes during the pandemic and couldn’t take her to get fitted (or buy a measuring gauge because they were all out of stock) McConnell’s started a shoe gauge lending service which has been such a life saver! We couldn’t be happier :)
Such a helpful and kind business
Such a very helpful and kind business. My grandchildren are in desperate need of new shoes but as you are all aware with Covid-19 i was unable to take them to the local shop to get measured and couldn't get a gauge on line for love nor money. Then i came across McConnell's lending service. What a fantastic and brilliant idea. I ordered the gauge, paying a small deposit, refundable upon return of item The gauge arrived promptly, it was very clean and in impeccable.condition. I now have the measurements for my grandchildren and will be ordering new shoes very soon. It has been a pleasure to shop with this business and i will definitely be using them again and will highly recommend them to friends and family .
Quick and easy to deal with!
Thank you so much for your prompt call this morning. Just to let you know the shoes arrived at lunch time with the postman. They fit perfectly, my granddaughter is very happy. Thank you so much.

Excellent customer service
Hi there, I was in your Magherafelt store today buying shoes for a toddler and I just wanted to comment on the excellent customer service I received from Abigail. I normally find buying toddler shoes quite stressful but she was great with my son and very polite, cheerful and pleasant.
Awesome shoe shop!
Good products, helpful staff, definitely recommend.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Hello from Yorkshire,
On 6th June I ordered a pair of Tamaris Navy Carnation shoes, they have just arrived on the 8th June. I was worried as I normally like to try shoes on before buying and you only had one pair left in size 7(41) so I rang the number from your website. A lady called ANDREA took my call and advised me the guys who deal with Internet orders had left for the day. She put the last pair on hold for me till I could speak to someone next morning. I rang back next morning and DARRYL took my call. He advised me on my concerns and put my order and payment through.
Their customer service was EXCELLENT, not something you find a lot these days. So, this is to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH. The shoes are fabulous, they not only fit but are also immediately very comfortable.
Once again a huge thankyou
biggest of Thank You's
Hello I just want to say the biggest of Thank You's to Christopher for one of the best ever customer services I have experinced. My Kate Applebys got a day out both Saturday and Sunday and I love them. Thank you again Christopher I will be back to shop both online and in person in the near future

We will definitely be in again!

Cookstown Store
Went to the shop in Cookstown with my two boys for shoes the service was great really nice & dealt with the boys fantastic.
Extremely Impressed
I have just taken my delivery of Clark's Marsha Rose Textile slippers in Burgundy size 4. I originally went to my local Clark's shop to get these for my mother for Christmas but they didn't have them in the right size and they couldn't even order them from Clark's as they were out of stock. So I came home, went onto Amazon and found you.
Pat Strachan
Stunned by your customer service
I had to write to you as I am stunned by your customer service. You have exceeded all my expectations and then some! (And that is quite hard to do as I work in a shoe store and have worked in customer service roles all my working life).
I ordered a pair of Heavenly Feet boots from your Company on Monday 17/12 via Amazon. I desperately needed them for a function on Christmas Eve so paid express postage. I received them today, (19/12), they are perfect, the correct size and they arrived exceptionally fast as I live on the Isle of Man, whereby everything usually takes forever to get here. I had ordered the same boots last week from the mainland, they took longer to arrive and I was sent the wrong size.
I cannot thank you guys enough. I would not hesitate to buy from you again and will recommend you highly to everyone I know. If I can, I will leave feedback on Amazon too.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and continued success for the future.
From one very happy customer,
Sharon Abraham
Very pleased with the service.
Very pleased with the service. Product has perfect description and fast delivery. Will be ordering from them again. Thanks
Flawless Service!

I needed to change the size, instant return slip sent out with an easy drop off, I reordered my shoes at the same time, arrived Thursday morning, refund received within 4 days for shoes returned, job done, thank you for a flawless service and great phone support.

I am very pleased with McConnell's shoes, I rang their Dungannon shop and a lovely lady took time to help me, I needed a softly tom shoe for my 1 year old, I decided to use the website to order 2 pairs in different sizes, delivery charge was very reasonable and pretty fast. I had to return one pair to my local spar for pick up, overall I'm very happy with my shopping experience, the choice was great, I will definitely be shopping here again.
Clarks shoes for a child!
I was looking for a pair of Clarks shoes for a child and found them available with McConnell when they were out of stock everywhere else. They were even below RRP such that the cost of shipping still left them cheaper than a similar pair from Clarks. Ordering process was simple and delivery was prompt. Really impressed.
