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.

Late and poor sizing info

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.

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

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.

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!!!

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.

I am still awaiting my partial refund (over £60!) and now they’ve stopped replying to my emails. Looks like I’ll have to get my bank involved to retrieve my money.

No trainers

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

Easy to order, but that’s about all

Easy to order, choice of delivery but I feel quite expensive so a good value product once postage and then return fee as ordered wrong size, even though I’m sure I touched the right size cost me £6 so not good value, by the time I ordered correct size postage x 2, return fee x1 my £19 value cost me £28. Wouldn’t be in a hurry to order again when so many places offer free postage and returns.

Shoes were great - DPD not so great

Shoes were great, delivery time as expected. Shame about the delivery company, I know this is out of Sole Trader's control but DPD didn't follow my instructions and just left my parcel in the lobby where parcels are regularly stolen. But hopefully companies that use will put pressure on delivery companies to follow instructions.

Easy to order from the website but dispatch and delivery information was non existent. After receiving the order confirmation all went quiet for a good couple of days. The shoes got delivered and then afterwards received an email to say they’d been dispatched.

The sales assistant was very helpful and patient, had good knowledge about the product. Keep up the good job, not many stores around with good service. PS, The MK bags nice, however too expensive ! 🙂 Thank you.

Sole Trader trainer shopping

Staff were excellent, availability of sizes was good. Unfortunately only 4 stars cos the exact pair I wanted wasn’t in stock. Otherwise brilliant experience. Will definitely be back.
