Reviews:

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.

Bad customer service

Extremely over priced compared to everyone else. We had promised our daughter the uggs she has wanted for a long time and sadly soletrader were the only store to have them available in here size but at £45 more than anywhere else was ridiculous we won’t be going back

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

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.

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!!!

Professionalism and having respect for the customer!! Absolutely abysmal communication and no care at all for the paying customer!!!

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

Ordered black shoes received green. Enough said.

Ordered a 8.5 and received a 9

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.

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.

I ''returned'' some shoes yesterday. I was told they have a new system and a return might be a problem. They haven't sold anything since the morning and I must come back later. Eventually, after the staff members kept trying, I was told the return went through, and was asked to provide an email address for return confirmation rather than given a paper copy (I was told they would get in trouble for giving me a printout as they are not allowed!?). Later on, and again today, I felt uncomfortable so I checked my account for a refund and it wasn't there, nothing pending. No email to confirm my return either. Only email from you to ask for feedback. Well, my feedback is, I'm never going back to this shop again. I just hope I will see my money back eventually. Sole Trader in Wandsworth Southside shopping centre. The worst experience ever!

Unfortunately when I arrived at the shop, having received an email saying my shoes were ready to collect, I was told they hadn’t arrived in to stock. The gentleman handling this did not have the authority to allow me to take an identical pair from their stock, even though they could see my order on the system and that I had paid in full. I did not want to pay twice and claim a refund. So I waited in store as I was told the store manager was coming in to resolve the issue. After 40 minutes, the gentleman handling my order had another look out the back and found my order which had been there all along. Sorry guys but that was terrible customer service and I daren’t order from you again.

I like Sole trader tend to buy my merchandise in store, however I am abroad and needed some merchandise from Sole Trader . If I buy and pay for everything in one transaction, why send out piece by piece ? This is an inconvenience because I am charged more taxes and import duty for every piece received regardless of the invoice and price. Whilst I understand that is not your problem, it is my problem. Please understand that I am happy to pay the taxes, but they are calculated in a manner that in the end cost the buyer more as a result of sending out piece by piece rather than sending out all the merchandise once.

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 .

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.

Paid for next day delivery but 14 days later still no trainers and no one is really dealing with the problem as apparently they were dispatched by a different company on behalf of sole trader - who knew? I keep emailing but get very limited responses- evri website now says there is a problem with the parcel so I should contact sole trader but it doesn’t say what you do if you have contacted sole trader already. Not impressed at all

I received my ordered shoes they arrived in a crimped box, with shoes that were creased. I was not happy, but it got worse. I turned the shoes over to fin they were used, they had been worn. The front was damaged on the shoes as well. When I attempted to contact Soletrader. The response was diabolical. It was an automated message. Does Soletrader think sending someone used shoes ok?
