“Very polite company”

Debra P.
8/25/24

I hunted high and low for this shoe and finally found it here, half a size smaller than I normally wear--but that's only 1/8 of an inch. Good PF support. Good ease for bunions. Very cute.

“Great product, slow shipping”

Sarah O.

I was happy to find these shoes in stock, since they were out of stock most places I looked. The shoes are awesome, cute, comfortable, warm, and true to size...but they took 19 days to arrive! I do live in Alaska but USPS has flat rate to Alaska that arrives within a week, year round. When I contacted the seller they told me shipping to Alaska could take up to 14 days. Of course it can...but does it usually? (No!) I've been up here 23 years and buy stuff online all the time, I know how long it takes for stuff to arrive. 19 days is too long, and is way outside the normal time. I think they used one of those partner shipping methods, where it starts out with UPS and transfers to USPS so maybe that's why it took an eternity to arrive. Other than that, totally happy with my purchase!

Great shoes, had a small problem with password, but simple instructions were provided and problem was resolved.

Reason I chose this business:

Purchased pair of “frequent traveler” shoes 2-3 years prior. One of the most comfortable, durable, and frequently noticed shoes that I own.

Reason I chose this product:

Sale price was unexpected for such an excellent, high quality shoe.

The sneakers themselves ran a bit small, but I love how they look. I don't like how I have to pay to get them shipped back for an exchange.

It stated free shipping and then charged me, so I had to cancel and repurchase because my reward caused me to fall below the requirement.

They explained what happened with the reward and shipping cost. They helped me cancel so I could reorder enough to make the shipping free.

Reason I chose this business:

To use my reward.

Reason I chose this product:

I needed blue supportive flip flops and needed higher black socks.

I was very pleased with the prompt, thorough service I received and the shoe itself. I can think of nothing that could be improved.

Reason I chose this business:

The sale price was the cheapest for the particular shoe I wanted.

Reason I chose this product:

The shoe works excellently for my walking/running routines. It has thick cushioning and great arch support. This particular shoe was same one (in the current version) that I've purchased twice before.

Too wide for a B width foot. It even affected the length. But getting a couple sizes smaller might work in width, and probably not in length.

still pending the outcome ??????

Shoe style was unique, just not a good fit.

Liked the style and material of the shoe

This was a relatively easy shopping experience. Packaging was perfect, the product came new and untarnished, and most importantly, the boots fit!

Reason I chose this business:

I chose it based upon the price and the availability of the product I wanted. I was hesitant due to the return policy but decided to chance it anyway.

Reason I chose this product:

I wanted short boots with a zipper since I cannot get into my short boots due to a high arch.
