Shop owner asked me if I needed assistance.. So I said which show I liked.. was offered to try them.. He asked someone else to get me the shoes while he went to investigate why a child was trying to play with the hanging light. That person offered to get me them. In multiple sizes as they are Chelsea boots. Then offered me inner souls for a half size. This fit perfectly so I bought them. Whole transaction took about 2 minutes very efficient and very good experience

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.

One pair of shoes missing I ordered two pairs of shoes only one has arrived. I’ve tried calling but there is no customer services phone number apparently and when you click live chat no one is there to talk to.

SHOCKING!!!!

You can start by sending me the correct item! That is a mistake (hopefully) so rectifying the issue would be appreciated…even a reply to any of my 3 emails. You say that you reply within 1-3 days YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT!!!

No trainers

I paid for trainers online but never received them. Soletrader came up with laughable excuses. Don't touch this company

Not at all customer focused.

I'm sorry but the shop assistant's just seemed very annoyed (and not at all apologetic) that the heel came off my brand new boots. The person who seemed to be in charge was also very dismissive and defensive and not at all customer focused.

Ordered what it said was in stock and then the order was cancelled. They then said they can’t source the product, but the refund would be 3-5 working days.because I had spent the money to get the shoes as a present I then didn’t have the money to get a different pair

Payment taken and order cancelled by e mail

My order was cancelled by e mail, two days later. No reason given and I don’t know when I will get my money back. Terrible experience

Have stock of items you are selling, not take people money without having an item. Issue a refund straight away. Be honest about stock

Hidden excessive costs

Ordered a pair of Flips Flops for daughter cost £15, expensive for rubber flip flops even though they were gold coloured. There was no declared delivery charge before the order was placed, although I knew there would be one. when the order was placed that turned out to be £11.95. for a pair of lightweight shoes. No ability to cancel the order. Could have returned the product but would have still paid the £11.95. Nothing wrong with the flip flops but what a charging racket. Will never use Sole Trader again and I know how to hold a grudge.

You can improve your service by either answering your phones, answering your emails and making sure that your live chat is just that. It took me five whole working days to get any sort of response from yourselves. You accepted my money for boots and next day postage neither of which materialised. After trying to contact you without any success you finally responded with my money returned but no apology. I’m grateful for small mercies but will not use you again.

I purchased a pair of shoes that I wanted for a conference. I was informed they was dispatched and then nothing. The tracking number didn’t not work, it was only when I enquired about the order was I told that a mistake was made, the dispatch notice was made incorrectly and infect there was no stock. I am still awaiting my refund.
