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.

Awful experience, paid for next day shipping and parcel wasn't dispatched until 2 days later. I only learnt that parcel was delayed after following up with them. Truly useless customer service.

Lost parcel and no one will help me

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

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.

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.

Bought a pair of shoes for my husband that were clearly worn, I asked for a discount and I would of kept them and they didn’t offer anything! And there are no more size 8! Makes me mad, are you going to resell worn shoes?

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.

Used and damaged shoes

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?
