Delivery delayed, driver refused mailbox drop and tracking showed no delivery.
“Worst delivery service ever.”
Customers often point to Spartoos wide shoe selection, low prices, and frequent fast deliveries. Several buyers say items fit as described and quality is acceptable. A large group of reviews describes delivery breakdowns, lost parcels, slow returns, and refunds that never get resolved. Multiple accounts mention unexpected import or freight charges and requests for sensitive documents to verify purchases.
Examples from available reviews (Jul 2017 – Mar 2026).

Reviews often mention parcels arriving late, going missing, or never being sent. Many describe long return timelines and trouble getting refunds after reporting faulty or incorrect items. A smaller set praises quick replacements, with a few naming staff who were helpful.
Many reviewers praise low prices, discount codes, and good value on trainers and boots. Several say unexpected customs, freight, or return costs cut into the savings. A small number mention missing promised referral discounts or irregular charges.
Many reviewers describe a pleasant site, straightforward ordering, and a wide range of products. Several ran into sizing or regional size-label issues and saw availability change after checkout. A few found registration or checkout steps inconvenient.
Many reviews say products arrived as expected and matched the sizing guidance. A separate set of complaints mentions damaged items, colour differences, or alleged inauthentic goods, along with returns being refused. Some praise after-sales handling, alongside isolated reports of durability problems.
Reviews often criticise requests for sensitive documents, template replies, and missing invoice details such as tax numbers. Several customers describe slow responses, support that cant be reached, or conflicting order updates. A handful mention patient or knowledgeable staff.
Reviews split sharply between smooth, fast purchases and serious operational problems for others. Many five-star reviews focus on selection, price, and quick delivery, while many one-star reviews point to delivery failures, extra charges, and refund disputes. The pattern shows widely different outcomes for customers.

I recently had an amazing shopping experience at Spartoo, and I felt compelled to write this review. The website offers a wide range of shoes, bags and clothes from various popular brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren Pap, Birkenstock, Airstep / A.S.98, New Balance, Timberland (enfant), Versace Jeans Couture and many more.
One thing that really stood out for me was the free delivery on over 95,000 pairs of shoes and handbags available on their platform. This is a great feature as sometimes shipping costs can end up making the entire purchase not worth it.
Another feature I appreciated was the variety offered in terms of style - everything from boots to flats were available across numerous different designs that catered towards both men and women's tastes. It made browsing through options fun rather than tedious!
The process of ordering my desired products online was also seamless and easy. I would recommend anyone looking for stylish branded footwear or accessories should definitely check out Spartoo.
Overall, my experience with Spartoo exceeded my expectations with their extensive collection of fashionable items coupled with quality service features like free delivery where appropriate which have contributed immensely to earn them loyal customers worldwide.
