Shoes were too wide and customer service ignored return requests.
“THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A DISASTER!”
Reviews show contrasting experiences: one buyer reports prompt shipping and accurate sizing for an adidas pair, while another experienced shoes that were too wide and multiple unanswered return emails. The main recurring issues relate to communication and returns handling; product fit is inconsistent across items. Consumers should check size guidance and the retailer's return policy before purchasing and retain order and correspondence records. If returns or customer-service responsiveness are important, consider contacting the retailer proactively and verifying support channels prior to purchase.

I wanted a perfect gift for my younger brother. I ordered a Reebok workout plus and converse Chuck Taylor All Star from this company. The delivery was prompt, but the shoes were too wide for my brother's feet. I wanted to return the shoes, but when I contacted the customer service support team they didn't bother about my complaint.I sent more than ten emails but none was replied to. I was so frustrated and I decided to just let go, wear the shoes and get another gift for my brother. I was very disappointed that they don't care about their customers, nor do they honor their return policy.. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A DISASTER!
