So disappointed

I purchased a pair of Tracker Vegan Leather barefoot shoes in November 2025. By the end of January 2026 the seam between the upper and sole had failed at the toe and they were no longer waterproof. In my experience they are not fit for purpose. I am 73 and walk a small dog in suburbia. So disappointing as they are comfortable, flexible, cosy and warm. Reinforce the toe and I'll try another pair.
Outback X barefoot hiking shoes with stronger toe design are still brilliant

Dear Marion,

First of all, we’re very sorry to hear about your experience and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We’re not entirely sure why the seam issue occurred in your case, as this is quite rare, but unfortunately isolated cases can sometimes happen.

That said, we’re very happy to hear that you were satisfied overall with the comfort, warmth, and flexibility of the shoes - that really means a lot to us.

We always aim to offer durable, high-quality products and we continuously work to improve our designs, so your suggestion about reinforcing the toe area is very valuable.

Please feel free to reach out to our support team, we remain happy to help in any way we can. Thank you again for your honest feedback!

This is a super company

This is a super company. The shoes are comfortable with good advice on sizing - I've bought 2 pairs for myself and 1 pair for my son - so far! I have wide feet and am nortorious for blisters, but I can walk and walk in these without the slightest irritation which is miraculous!
They are also good value for money - a fair price for high quality.
And finally, excellent customer service. I've made contact a few times about different things and they always respond promptly, fairly, and helpfully.
No, I'm not related to them! Just a happy customer.

Over two months and 30 emails to get my refund.

Warning to anyone thinking of buying from this company. They will try to make you waive your rights, which is not legal under UK consumer law, and they will do everything they can to not give you a refund. They have finally, after over two months and 30 emails, photos, contacting their legal dept, getting advice from Citizen's advice etc, given me my full refund. Twice during the two months they stated "the matter is now closed" but I persisted because I knew my rights. I think they hope people will just not bother or get fed up trying so they wear you down. I will NEVER buy from them again and neither will I ever recommend them to anyone so they have lost out in the long run with their short sighted attitude. I am sure they will respond with a nicey nicey reply to make themselves look good but they have the worst customer services I have ever come across. DO NOT buy from them.
They also state they use DPD but it was all Evri with my order and returns.
EDIT 16.01.26
WOW! Just had an email from TrustPilot to inform me that NaturContact flagged my review as containing "harmful or illegal" content but Trustpilot found it to be within their guidelines so it's been posted. However, NaturContact's reaction is illuminating. I would suggest that if they don't like being given one star reviews for their appalling customer service that they improve it. 16% of reviewers would agree with me!

Dear Tilly,

Thank you for your feedback.

We would like to clarify that the review was temporarily placed under Trustpilot’s standard inspection process, which applies to many reviews and does not imply validation of the claims made. Trustpilot is currently completing its review, and we kindly invite you to provide any information requested by Trustpilot as soon as possible so the inspection can be concluded.

Regarding the case itself, we acknowledge that the refund has now been completed in full. While we regret that the process took longer than expected, Naturcontact always operates in accordance with applicable consumer regulations and follows required procedures, including those involving third-party couriers, which can sometimes cause delays beyond our direct control.

We thank you for your patience and wish you all the best going forward!

Everyday life

I wear them to work, for errands, and long walks. They’ve become my go-to shoes without even thinking about it. =)

Went the extra mile

the Terra Flex 2.0 shoes were a bit of a disappointment, but NaturContact were very good in helping me find an acceptable replacement.

Returns difficult

The ordering process was simple and the staff at NaturConact were helpful, but they do not provide a viable means to return items from the United States. Shipping and customs cost made returning a pair of shoes not cost effective. Naturcontact should not advertise returns from the United States unless they provide a US shipping address.

Dear BB,

Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience with us. We’re pleased to hear that you found the ordering process simple and our staff helpful.

We’re sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced with returns from the United States. At the moment, international returns can indeed involve higher shipping and customs costs, and we understand that this may make returns less cost-effective for some customers.

We would like to note that our return policies, including information regarding international returns, are clearly outlined on our website prior to purchase so customers can make an informed decision before ordering.

That said, we truly appreciate your feedback. As part of our ongoing expansion, we are actively working on improving our logistics and exploring better return solutions for international customers. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review!

shipping

I encountered a problem with shipping as the shipment was split into 2 orders and I had tracking only for one. When I inquired about my other order, the company replied promptly and did everything they could to solve my problem. Easing my mind knowing the details.

Do not buy from this company

Do not buy from this company! We purchased 3 pairs of shoes that are supposed to be water proof and they most certainly are not. We are having to pursue a claim to get our money back. The customer service team are awful

We’re sorry to read about your dissatisfaction and would like to clarify a few important points.

All our shoes marketed as waterproof are tested according to industry standards and designed to withstand rain, wet ground, and everyday outdoor conditions. To date, we have not found evidence that the products you purchased are defective or fail to meet the specifications stated on our website.

We also want to note that our customer service team has followed the correct procedure by requesting verification details and usage information, which is standard practice when assessing warranty or refund claims. Unfortunately, these steps are sometimes perceived negatively, despite being necessary to fairly evaluate each case.

Given that some of the statements in this review are factually inaccurate and potentially misleading, we will be required to formally contest them and, if necessary, pursue a legal counterclaim to protect our company from reputational harm.

That said, we remain open to resolving this matter constructively. We invite you to contact us directly with the requested documentation so we can review your case objectively and reach a fair conclusion.

Sent used shoes, refused a refund, then threatened legal action

If you are thinking of buying from Naturcontact, read this first. My experience has been a masterclass in how to abuse UK consumer rights and bully customers.

I ordered two pairs of shoes. One was fine, but the other arrived clearly used—scuffed, dirty, and with the inner logo worn off. Because I was away for the bank holiday, I opened the box four days after delivery and reported it immediately with photos.

Their response? They flat-out refused a refund, citing a "store policy" that claims any issues must be reported within 24 hours. When I pointed out that under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods must be of satisfactory quality and that faults discovered within 6 months are legally assumed to have been present at delivery, they decided to rewrite the law.

They actually told me: "The burden of proof lies with the customer to demonstrate that any such issue was present at the time of delivery."

This is incorrect. Under UK law (Section 19 of the CRA 2015), the burden of proof is on the retailer for the first six months, not the customer.

When I mentioned exercising my right to a chargeback via my bank, their "Legal Team" quickly sent me a series of threatening emails. Instead of addressing the faulty product, they tried to intimidate me.

Here are direct quotes from the emails they sent me:
• "Any attempt to initiate a chargeback... would be against our store policy, consumer law, and contractual obligations."
• "We will be left with no choice but to take the case to Small Claims Court."
• "You will not only lose the case... but also be required to cover all legal expenses incurred."
• Most shockingly, they claimed that using my bank's consumer protection services "may constitute fraudulent activity." Which is honestly laughable 😄.

They even offered a "gesture of goodwill" to send a replacement pair, but only if I dropped my rights.

When I refused and asked for my money back, they doubled down on the threats.

Honestly, the £73.89 isn't worth my time or energy to fight, but it seems it is everything to them. If their business model relies on sending out used returns as new stock and then threatening customers with legal action to hold onto a few pounds, it sounds like they need the money more than me.

I expect they will try to reply to this with some more made-up "legal" nonsense to protect their reputation. But what they don't understand is that will just further reveal themselves. It's honestly sad to watch.

Update:
I have recently checked out there website, and it looks like they might have changed. The website and logo are different and hopefully there customer service practises are different too. If they respond fairly and fix there mistakes I would happily remove this review, but I'm yet to find out.

RESPONSE TO COMMENT:
Order number: #36088
Shoes arrived: 22nd August 2025
First contact: 26th August 2025

The shoes were not purchased under this profile name.

To be clear, I have hard evidence of the entire interaction. If Naturcontact are attempting to “play dumb,” it is a weak tactic to avoid the exposure. I hope they own up soon.

I have also reviewed their returns policy and related details. I think I may have been slightly presumptuous about the company’s changes.

In their marketing, they claim their products are "all-season" and made of "waterproof leather." However, a closer look at their returns policy reveals a disclaimer indicating the shoes are not fully waterproof, which looks misleading. Additionally, their returns policy states that consumers who purchase items at a discount must waive their consumer rights. Fact: it is impossible to waive statutory rights in the UK, so I hope they correct this error promptly.

I strongly advice avoiding this company.

Dear Douglas,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to read about the frustration described in your review.

After carefully reviewing our records, we are currently unable to identify the situation you are referring to. The only order we can find associated with your details dates back to 2024, and according to our records, no issues of the kind described in your review were reported at that time. For this reason, we are unsure which order or interaction your comments are referencing.

To allow us to properly verify the facts and assist you in a fair and accurate way, we kindly ask you to contact us directly and provide your order number along with any relevant details. Once we have this information, our team will be happy to review the case thoroughly and offer appropriate support.

As you mentioned, our website and branding have recently been updated, and we are continuously working to improve our customer service practices. We genuinely welcome the opportunity to clarify any misunderstandings and resolve issues where possible!

Great shoes, great customer service

Bought the hiking boots as a gift. The advice to size up was spot on, especially with the insoles. Look nice on, not too clunky. And customer service responded helpfully to a pricing issue. Great company to deal with. My 3rd purchase!

Mailing issue.

Confusingly the 2 pairs of boots ordered, paid for and confirmed at the same time were dispatched as separate postings. Although this was resolved quickly it was a disappointing experience. However, delighted with both items meeting all high expectations.

Communication with the company

Communication with the company, especially the process of returning goods wes very good considering it was around Christmas time and they must have been rushed off their feet, but the delivery firm was absolutely rubbish. The first delivery went to a property 100 meters away down the close, so I had to track it down using the photo supplied,and the second delivery again went to a completely wrong address and left outside on the street, brought round to my address by a kind resident. Evri don't deserve anyones business.
