Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 28 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found that the products received, such as boots and shoes, were not as described, often being made of cheap plastic or vinyl instead of advertised leather, and lacking orthopedic features. People frequently reported poor quality, with items arriving damaged, smelling strongly of chemicals, or breaking quickly. Additionally, sizing was a common issue, with products being incorrect or not true to size, making them unwearable. The return process was a significant source of frustration, as customers were often required to send items back at their own expense, which was costly and frequently resulted in no refund or issues with receiving the expected reimbursement. Some people also felt that product descriptions were inaccurate, particularly regarding materials and features, and found communication with customer service to be unhelpful. However, a few customers successfully obtained refunds, sometimes through third-party services like PayPal.

They are scammers

They are scammers. 1. They say they are a boutique in Australia...they are not. They are in China..2. They say their boots are high quality leather, they are not. They are cheap plastic. 3 They say they are well made...they are not. 4. They say they are orthotics....they are not. 5. They send out the wrong sizes, way too small.
They will not refund unless you return the boots to CHINA.
There are many scam alerts about them on Facebook.

If I could give zero stars I would

If I could give zero stars I would. This “Sydney” company advertised leather orthopaedic boots. Got totally suckered and I thought I was a critical thinker! Received plastic boots in the wrong size direct from China. And I bought 2 pairs 🤦🏼‍♀️ Learn from my experience and do some googling first

Absolute scammers! Used false advertising and lied about the product - not orthopaedic shoes, not real leather. Just plastic crap. Don’t fall for this one.

If I could rate 0 I would!!! Don’t order anything from them the products are not as described not anywhere true to size and terrible quality unwearable. Don’t trust the good reviews they are probably from the company itself using its Chinese cheap labour!!!!

🚨 I belong to Scam Alerts Australia…

🚨 I belong to Scam Alerts Australia Facebook page and numerous people have been scammed by MONROE SYDNEY recently. Most common story is they received boots from China that were way too small or too big. Were promoted on the website as “high quality leather” & “orthopaedic” shoes but are in fact made of plastic polyester type material and have a terrible chemical smell which was toxic over powering!!! Advertised on the website as “Proudly Australian Brand” but poor quality products arrive from China!!
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!!! 🚨 ‼️
