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 ordered £139 Dr marten sandals which arrived in a few days. They have been previously worn. I emailed sole trader within 5 mins of them being delivered. Got no reply. I emailed again. This time got a reply asking for photos. I have sent 2 lots of photos and recieved no response from Soletrader

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.

Hello, thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear that there was a problem with your order. In these instances we would always advise contacting our customer service team prior to making a return as they would have been able to help. After reviewing the slight issue you had with the shoes, our customer service team were unable to offer the discount you had asked for on this occasion. We are sorry for any disappointment caused. Kind regards. SOLETRADER

V.Gan sandal splitting around straps. After just a few weeks of moderate wear, my gorgeous orange sandals are splitting around the straps. I sent photos to customer services requesting a replacement pair but they are insisting I send the pair back for inspection. A massive faff as opposed to just returning to store and getting a replacement pair before they sell out!

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.

Cancelled my order as was showing stock they didn’t have. It then took 7 days for soletrader to notify Klarna so that they could begin the refund process. I had to email them 3 times before this happened.
