Very poor experience - expensive for delivery and returns and poor sizing of trainers!

Ordered some Hoka trainers I had tried on in a shop same size - pair that arrived were way too small. Tried to exchange but only offered 3 options for exchange - this wasnt what I expected when I viewed the returns/exchange options - only 3 choices in the same brand and not the correct size I needed is completely ridiculous! Obviously they want you to return and re-buy at further cost! Had to return them at extra cost as no suitable exchange option given - £4.99 to deliver and £4.50 to return when the sizing was incorrect - very poor service, wont be using Sportshoes again.

Good afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're sorry to hear that the HOKA trainers you received did not fit as expected, despite having tried the same size elsewhere. We understand how frustrating this must have been.

Shoe sizing and fit can sometimes vary between different models, even within the same brand. Our exchange system offers available replacement options based on current stock, so we're sorry if the size you needed wasn't available at the time. In cases where the required size is unavailable, a return and refund is the only option, allowing customers to place a new order if and when the item comes back into stock.

We're also sorry to hear of your disappointment with the delivery and return charges. Our returns policy is outlined on our website before purchase, and unless an item is specifically marked as Free Returns, customers are responsible for the cost of returning unwanted items. This helps us keep our product prices as competitive as possible.

We appreciate your feedback and will ensure your comments are shared with the relevant team.

Paying for delivery and for returns…

Paying for delivery and for returns when buying shoes makes for a bit of a slap in the face when you’re spending over £100. I won’t risk it again

Good afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the delivery and return costs left you feeling disappointed.

We completely understand that when you're spending over £100, additional charges can be frustrating, especially if the item isn't quite right. We aim to be as transparent as possible by clearly outlining our delivery and returns policy before purchase. Unless an item is specifically marked as Free Returns, the cost of returning unwanted items is the customer's responsibility. This helps us keep our product prices as competitive as possible.

We really appreciate you sharing your experience, and we'll make sure your comments are passed on to the relevant team for consideration.

Quick and easy ordering process

Quick and easy ordering process and delivery was timely. SportsShoes.com offer a good range of products at competitive prices. Would have rated higher but the box the trainers were in was quite badly damaged which was a shame as they were to be a gift.

Good afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

We're delighted to hear you found the ordering process quick and easy, that your delivery arrived on time, and that you were pleased with our range of products and competitive prices.

We're sorry to hear that the trainer box arrived damaged, especially as the shoes were intended to be a gift. We understand how disappointing this must have been. Although we do our best to ensure orders are packaged securely, we're sorry that the presentation of your order fell short of expectations.

We appreciate your feedback and will share your comments with the relevant team as we continue to improve our service.

Very impressed with excellent and human service!

I haven’t actually received my order yet but I was so impressed with how the SportShoes team (hey Abi 👋) helped me resolve a problem that I created, I wanted to get straight to reviewing before I forgot. I accidentally ordered mens rather than women’s trainers, I followed the instructions on the website to get in touch (email as out of hours) and early the next morning Abi was in touch responding and suggesting a resolution, (that they could send the women’s one a and send a link to double check the ones I wanted) my order was put on hold temporarily whilst it was resolved and then the correct item sent instead, all before 10am! I’m sure a lot of organisations would have said “just order again and return” so I am hugely impressed with this fast response and helpfulness in reply to my own silliness! Excellent customer service, thank you!
