I went from London to Bluewater to get CK trainers. Spent £10 petol and £5 Dartford Crossing charge plus time. The leather on the trainers was cracked. I Went to Oxford Street to return costing another £6.20 travel plus time. Then ordered the same trainers online. This time, the inside leather was not covered properly resulting in a severe blister. I Was told I needrd to go into a shop so the assistant could verify the problem for a refund. I went to Oxford Street for a return costing another £6.20 travelling plus time. Then I was told I cannot get delivery refunded. I got in touch with Customer Services for all this drama and they only offered 10% discount in next purchase. So my £99 CK trainers turned to £129.40 plus time. What a shambolic service and Customer Services did not resolve my formal complaint to my satisfaction.
I entered the shop , asked the sales assistant for help, I was told to wait , another assistant was serving another customer , I took a seat and waited .. for approx 15 minutes , then the assistant that was serving the other customer finished and asked me if she could help , I asked her my question .. by this time the other assistant had stopped what she was doing and said , sorry I wasn’t ignoring you but I had to reply to these personal emails , you know , the ones that are important but you forget about..
REALLY,, I thought that customers came first , obviously not in this case , I thought that your break time was an appropriate time to send and reply to personal stuff not your working day when you have customers to serve ,
There was no customer service by that assistant in that shop , if I hadn’t of wanted the particular boots that I purchased I most certainly would of walked out and that would have been a list sale, which in the current climate no store can really afford..

Late and poor sizing info
I ordered boots for new year and paid extra to get them delivered on time. but they never arrived before new year. soletrader did refund the postage, but it was annoying not to have the boots delivered on time. When they were delivered i had ordered size 6 which normally is a 39 and they arrived and were 40. So too big and had to pay to return them. The european sizing equivalent was not evident easily for me to see when ordering, had i known they were size 40 i would never had asked for that size.

Ladies Silver Hogan Trainers
The reason I have given 2 stars is because, I paid £6 for next day delivery. They came the day after next day . Only to open box & find they were gold & not silver.
Very disappointed ☹️. Trainers were lovely though good quality. However not what I wanted for £149.99 . So had to pay further £ 3 to return . So cost me £9 in total and it was not my fault. So I’d suggest checking contents of boxes b4 sending . I never actually complain but I’m paying for someone else’s mistake .

I placed an order as a gift with plenty of time for it to arrive! Yesterday I chased up the order as tracking hadn’t been working to be told the order had been lost!! No next day delivery as a good will gesture have to wait another 5 days & by then it will be late for the birthday if it even arrives!

No order and no update
Didn’t have shoe size in store so the store ordered them online for me fur delivery at home. 3 days later order hadn’t arrived and when I contacted was told they didn’t have stock available so were cancelling and refunding my order. No proactive contact if I hadn’t chased.

Shoes and postal service not quite right...these days.
The shoes I bought were just not what they were to the online pictures which is not Soletraders fault, but I had to pay both delivery and return costs..but hey ho...the way it goes...

Poor customer service. Very lazy staff unwilling to go and get me the size I need to try on. Then selling me one shoe off display which was discoloured and worn.
