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.
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..

The box arrived incredibly battered, loose fit.
The box arrived incredibly battered. Dhd didn’t deliver it and said I wasn’t in. I can see anyone arriving & they have to ring for entry, so I know they hadn’t tried as I work from home and never left the house. Had to reschedule & collect from the post office. The sandal is very loose around my foot. Went all the way to Sutton and then Oxford Street store to see if they had another pair which might be a better fit. Their size 6 was baggy too. Is this a problem with the Silver leather? My sister has a tan pair in a larger size, but those fit!
I threw the box away as it was so damaged & wanted them for a wedding, so didn’t ask for my money back.

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 have never heard of "Unisex" sizes being from the US. The website had this listed on women's size 6. It came as unisex size 6, women's 7.5. Pretty bizarre... Shipping was great.

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.

Ordered a pair of size 5 Birkenstocks
Delivery was quick however when these turned up they were the 'narrow' shoe. This was not detailed on the website when buying.
They were sent back same day and refund sorted

I was sent the wrong pair of shoes. To return by post I would have to pay, despite it not being my fault.
Returns should be free when it’s not the customer’s fault that they are returning the item.

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...

Received my order as described but as soon as I submitted my order, I received fraudulent text messages and e-mails. You need to improve the security of your customers' information.

More attentive staff who are better informed. That said, we got where we needed to be although I think I was a sitting duck for a bit of upselling which failed to materialise.

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.
