Calceus has a rating of 1.0 star from 3 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Calceus ranks 390th among Men's Clothing sites.
This company ships from China and they don't disclose that anywhere on their website. So if you have any issues or problems, it becomes almost impossible to get any remedy. If you have to return the product you will pay return shipping which costs more than the item purchased. Don't be fooled by the website that obviously has fake reviews.
Water shoes lacked structure and quality so started processing return. Customer pays postage to return site in Canada or China. Shoes cost $34.99–postage to Canada costs $43. Thus the "Return system" Calceus established insures no returns as not cost effective. Total sham!
Tip for consumers:
Returns to foreign addresses are prohibitively expensive.
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY POSITIVE REVIEWS OF CALCEUS ON TRUSTPILOT: THOSE ARE FAKE. NOTICE ALL THE "EXCELLENT" VIEWS HAVE BLATANT AND SIMILAR GRAMMATICAL AND SPELLING ERRORS INDICATING THEY WERE ALL WRITTEN BY THE SAME PERSON OR TEAM; MULTIPLE "EXCELLENT" REVIEWS UPLOADED EVERY DAY AT ROUGHLY THE SAME TIME (more details below).
My REAL review: My order number was ******* on September 7,2021. This company has a slick website and nice photos but reality is different. Items not true to size. I ordered two pairs of shoes, both size 9. The shipping label to me was from Vernon California. One shoe was much smaller than size 9 and the other was larger; neither shoe fits. When I requested a replacement calceus said I had to ship the shoes back to an address in China with tracking, which costs more than the shoes (although they shipped the shoes to me from a California warehouse). I researched and the company is "offshore everywhere", registered in Cyprus (meaning a nameplate on a wall somewhere in Nicosia), no identifiable address, owners, factory, etc. don't be fooled like I was, avoid this company.
I actually sent the items back with tracking to the address in China but still no refund.
I am seeking a refund from PayPal but so far no help there.
Also they only post positive reviews on their own website so that's not accurate.
Below I have quoted verbatim from the "excellent" trustpilot reviews for calceus.org, you can see that every "excellent" review has the same types of grammatical and spelling errors. Examples:
"These Quick-dry shoes are fit nicely..."
"To confortable to wear them"
"I recommend this for anyone who really enjoy the outdoors"
Be advised: being a non-native English speaker myself I would NEVER make light of someone else's honest grammar or spelling mistakes. My purpose is to show clearly (and I hope trustpilot is reading this) that all these "excellent" reviews are fake and uploaded by the same person or same team of fake review writers overseas.
Also, notice that virtually all the trustpilot reviews are either "excellent" or "bad" with nothing in between. If the reviews were legitimate we would expect a normal distribution with most reviews at some level and gradual fall-off from that level, not extreme sharp peaks at either end of the distribution.
Finally, you can generally get the same shoes from Amazon (from the same manufacturers) with a valid refund right.
