I thought the shoes were very nice. However, they were too big (I ordered my usual size). In addition, when they were delivered, I noticed that they didn’t have regular laces but were elastic slip-on... See more

Not happy

I bought the shoes one size up as advised on the Steve Madden but when I received them they were at least one size too big and I had to return them at my own expense. I should not have to pay to return an item I picked following YOUR advice. I’m really upset.

Very expensive return

I would not recommend Buying here if you are not 100% sure about the size or comfort because it cost 13€ for me to send my shoes back. I will not buy anything here again.

Problems in returning an item

I ordered a bag as a gift for a friend. The bag had a defect so we decided to return it in order to buy another one. We paid the return fee and we had to choose from only one courier company, UPS. Unfortunately, UPS is not operating in the city we live. Therefore, we contacted the customer support service in order to find another shipping method. The customer support employee asked us to provide pictures with the defect of the bag. After we did that, the employee told us that the return fee will be refunded, but my question about the courier company was never answered even though I asked the same question for four times. I still don’t have a solution to my problem, maybe because my question was ignored or misunderstood even though I made myself very clear. In conclusion, I am disappointed of the customer service skills of handling a simple problem of their client.

the customer service is terrible!

The shoes I orded are beautifull. But a mistake was made and 2 orders were made, so also 2 invoices. I received 1 pair of shoes and have been trying for a month! to get in touch and find a solution, but they constantly indicate that it is too busy. In the meantime, there are 2 accounts open, while I have only ordered and received 1 pair of shoes. :(

AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE.

AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Bought a christmas present 29th November for girlfriend. Trainers are too small and they refuse to exchange them. Almost every company will allow extra days during xmas period.
