Reviewers widely praise the brand’s materials and build, often mentioning soft leather and comfortable fits. Many customers also note fast delivery and responsive, helpful support. Another clear group describes failed exchanges, slow refunds, and rude replies. Several reviews mention defects such as soles wearing out quickly and stitching coming loose.
Examples from available reviews (Nov 2021 – Mar 2026).
Excellent product quality and unparalleled customer service.
“Stunning quality and customer service is unparalleled!”
Exchange process is slow, taking seven to ten working days to replace items.
“it takes them 7-10 working days apparently, to send out the new item”
Returns marked as damaged and refund request rejected despite brief wear.
“the shoes were marked and damaged soles”
Boot soles deteriorated quickly and brand dismissed concerns as normal wear.
“the soles showed severe wear, cracking, and deterioration”
Reviews give customer service both strong praise and sharp criticism. Many customers describe quick, practical help with shipping errors and accessory requests. Others frequently report slow or refused exchanges, delayed refunds, and unhelpful interactions.
Only a small share of reviews mention price and value, but those comments are strongly negative. Customers point to high delivery charges and price drops after purchase, with store credit offered that they could not use. When these issues come up, they tend to drag down overall satisfaction.
Many customers describe fast delivery and an easy ordering process. Fit and comfort come up often as positives, including notes that sizing runs true and that the sizing advice helps. A small number of reviews mention sale items that can’t be returned and a return process that feels difficult.
Materials and construction drive most positive feedback, with repeated mentions of buttery leather, sturdy stitching, and comfortable soles. A few serious complaints describe stitching failures and soles wearing out quickly. These problems appear less often than praise for craftsmanship.
Many reviewers describe communication as responsive, kind, and helpful. Others report slow replies, no response, or rude staff when dealing with refunds and returns. The tone of communication often shapes how post-purchase problems end.
Reviews split between high satisfaction with product quality and frustration with after-sale problems. Positive experiences combine well-made footwear, smooth fulfilment, and friendly support. Negative reviews cluster around returns, refunds, and customer service conflicts that lead to low star ratings.
For each review, the core experience based on original source reviews.

Wow!
I've never had to reach out to a place like this before, but I am so pleased that I did.
I can't believe how unhelpful the person was on the phone - she was harsh and arrogant.
She made me feel like she couldn't wait to get off the phone with me.
And when I walked in there to pick up my sneakers, the customer service was much worse!
Dear Frances -
you have got it right with the shoes, however your customer service is poor.
No response to email queries.
No apologies for delays in delivery.
Very disappointing
I hope someone else is reading this review and not making a similar mistake of buying from this company,
