“Great offers at this site!”

Joanne N.
7/28/11

Great offers at this site! They seem to always have a promotion going as well as free shipping most of the time. Have ordered from here a few times and was only disappointed once due to them sending me the wrong size. I was able to speak to a very pleasant woman who explained the procedure for returning at their expense and received my reorder promptly. Nice place to shop!

“Joke. Got men's hiking boots instead of women's flats”

Brendan M.
12/21/23

Ridiculous. Ordered dress flats for a Xmas party and got men's hiking boots instead. How is that even possible? No human to talk to. Just a computer that keeps asking why I don't like the dress flats I ordered.

I've had so many issues with their merchandise, returns & refund process, website, and customer service in these last 2 months that I don't even have the energy to rehash them all. Just look up any other website's reviews for them (Besides NineWest.com, because they don't publish any negative reviews) and take my word for it. I've ordered 9 pairs of shoes and returned all but 1 cute, but nevertheless uncomfortable pair. I've attached photos of my most recent (and final) purchase from them. They retail at $89.00... I am thoroughly DONE with this company and will never purchase from them again. Don't waste your time, unless you actually like making your life harder and throwing your $$ down the drain on restocking fees or cheap, defective shoes.

Tip for consumers:
Look at other website’s reviews, especially Better Business Bureau’s.

I bought online booties for my wife birthday on November 26th pay it I'm still waiting to receive. Merchandise my order number is ******* 8 and I paid 71 dollars and seventy-eight cents. Include 16.95 shipping, a poke with someone on Nov 29 and told me that my package was on mt way still waiting for tracking #. I'm really disappointed Nine West have a great merchandise. But I don't know if I will continue buying from them in the future. I have to call my credit card company to dispute the payment.

I cant believe how horrible customer service is! Do not use this company. I hardly ever write reviews. However, I thought I could trust a company with such a big name. I ordered a Christmas gift & gave it. They were uncomfortable. Two weeks later i requested a return slip by the time they got back to me the 21 days had passed. They will not offer an exchange or a refund.

I purchased a pair of pumps online for a special event. Shipping was promised in 5 days at the most. My order arrived 10 days later and after my event sonI no longer needed the shoes. I went online to return and to my surprise I am being charged $7.00 to return them. It's boat a lot of money but it is the principal, why should I have to pay to return an item that didn't arrive in time. I will never purchase another Nine West product as long as I live.

I rate them a ZERO! I purchased 2 pairs of boots on line. They were both too tight- when I requested an exchange label I was told they were final sale. I didn't want my money back! Now I am stuck with 2 pairs of boots that I cannot wear. And every knows Nine West is NOT cheap. I work hard for my money and take great value in the things that I earn. I will never order from them again.

Tip for consumers:
DON'T

I use to be a fan. My last order was a complete bust. The quality of the nine west shoes is beyond bad. My shoe fell completely apart after 2 wears and a refund would have been the fair thing to do. Instead, my only option was a store gift card. So I can buy more sucky shoes? Save yourself... buy anything but nine west!

I purchased some boots for my wife for her birthday. I purchased them a month before the big day to ensure that I would get the right size, delivery, etc. I gave the boots to my wife, but they were too tall for her liking and wanted to return them or exchange. I contacted Nine West to learn that they only over a refund or exchange within 30 days of purchase. With supply chains in their current state, who can buy from this company? Tone Deaf... Lost customer..

Tip for consumers:
Find another retailer who will provide better refund security for online purchasing. 30 day return policy for Christmas is ridiculous.

Purchased a pair of shoes on sale online store. When I received the Item, it was the wrong shoes in the box. When I contacted customer service. They then wanted me to take them and return them through UPS. Taking my own time And gas to return them. They then would not send me the shoes that I actually ordered. They said I would have to reorder, they don't do exchanges.
So now I have to take my time money to return. The shoes are no longer on sale. So I would have to pay a more expensive price for the ones that I wanted. And all they offered me was a 15% coupon discount. All for their mistake.

Tip for consumers:
Didn't refund the shipping that I spent for them to ship me the wrong item.

Shipping turnaround time takes days then they charge a ridiculous shipping charge of $10.95. If the item has to be returned on top of that which mine did because the website picture didnt come close to what the shoe actually looked like, its another $6.95 restocking fee. They obviously dont value their customers charging them enormous fees like this when most other companies have free shipping and returns. Disgusting!

Tip for consumers:
Dont buy from their site directly.. ridiculous fees and pitcures dont depict item in real life.

I ordered a pair of boots over the weekend and received an email I would get the shoes within 2 day actually said they'd be delivered that day and to my surprise they weren't. After waiting 2 more days I called and was told exactly "we did our part you can contact ups to find out what happened". This bothered me because when they send the email stating the item ship with a tracking number that when you track only says label created waiting on the package. I asked for a supervisor and was told I could only email at that point. Very bad customer service will never shop with them again

Tip for consumers:
Don’t order from Nine West

Shoes/boots take 2 1/2 - 3 weeks to arrive. This isn't from the odd order. I've ordered at least once a month - several pairs at a time - for several months. In the time it takes the merchandise to arrive the shoes/boots have gone on sale, when I've bought at full price & by the time they are here they are then unreturnable.
There are NO supervisors or managers available at any time of day. They do not exist. I want quality footwear & will pay the price - but NOT shoddy service. Give me Steve Madden (2 day delivery), Jessica Simpson, Santana, Marc Jacobs any day. Their service is worth it.

Please stop putting those white sticks (any color) in the shoes to hold paper in the toe area & the back of the strap. Ii got a pair of shoes and they were slipping off my heel because of it. Not good. Thank you.

Shoe did not fit. Too tight. Had to return. Worst return policy ever. I paid $54.00 for sandals. Received $38.00 back on card. After all the fees and restocking charges. Not to mention the shipping to rceive them was a charge also.
I will never purchase again. I have brought many a pair of shoes and boots. This was my first experience with returns. My last purchase.

Nine West shoes are eye- catching and comfortable to wear. Unfortunately the quality of their shoes is terrible which is quite disgraceful given that they are NOT cheap. The heel-stopper and the inner lining are the first to go, and then the upper shoe starts to come unstuck from the sole. I've had shoes from other brands which have lasted 15 - 20 years... for the same price. The love affair with NW is drawing to a close: I'm tired of replacing my Nine West shoes. I love their styles but I'm done with having to carry around an extra pair of shoes to a party because I can't trust my year-old Nine Wests to stay with me on the dance floor

If I need to buy some shoes then I use only this online shop. Why? Because there I can find all I need. Also, I really like that the size feets excellent. So, guys, it's really cool place with a big choice and affordable prices.

I'll never shop at Nine West's online store again. I purchased the Mana ankle strap leather sandal during their after Thanksgiving sale. I received my item and saw that one of the sandal was damaged, the leather was creased so I called customer service and asked if I can exchange for another pair. The representative stated that they do not do exchanges but I can get a refund and repurchase. I asked if I'll be honored the original purchased that I got them for and she stated no. She said that's the drawback that they don't honor the sale price.

I'll never shop at their online site again. It's better to go get their shoes at other shoes/department stores. Never shop at their site because if you ever receive a damage item you're either stuck with it or losing out on the deal if you return.

I ordered shoes on a Friday afternoon and paid $34.95 for "1 - 2 days" shipping. I called Tuesday afternoon to inquire. I was told that orders received after 12:00 pm were not processed until the next business day, so the shoes would not be delivered until Wednesday at the earliest. I was told I could not have the shipping cost refunded as long as they arrived by FRIDAY! I will NEVER BUY from Nine West again

Tip for consumers:
I think Nine West is exceptionally poor on maintaining good customer relationships.

Shoes eventually but too late for my trip. Both items from other companies -- Burberry and Julie Vos -- arrived as specified and paid for. Not the shoes.

Defective shoes they sent me defective shoes
One pair of pumps one were a size 10 and the other pair of pumps were a 10 1/2. The back part of the other pair one of the shoes were warped. Poor craftsmanship very poor. There was a time when Nine West was a reputable company.
The other 2 pairs of pumps I purchased that weren't defective are very uncomfortable and painful poorly made shoes you feel everything on the ground. Felt like the heel was about to break.
I actually purchased these shoes for a trip to Italy. A total embarrassment
Trying to save money for a long vacation. Big mistake my advice invest in two pairs of good Italian made shoes. Do not buy American because it's usually made in China.
They take no pride in their products it's all about taking your money.
Never again
I have not posted any pictures or my receipt of purchase because I'm in my bed writing this review. They are not worth another moment of suffering.

I have had a pair of heels for 2 months and the material has started to peel on the heel and at the toe. The complaints department advised this is ware and tare. Shoes of this "quality" should not do this!

I wish I checked here before buying from Nine West... I bought 2 pairs of shoes from the online store of Nine West Netherlands and paid 104 EUR. After 5 weeks I received my shipment from China (?) had to pay import taxes as well and when I received the package finally the delivery was a hideous baseball cap! I contacted customer service and they told me that I need to send the cap all the way back to China to get a full refund. Returned costs will be on me! They offered half refund if I keep the hat. So I need to pay 50+ EUR for an ugly hat that I didn't even want in the first place? They are a real SCAM! Do not buy guys, save your money for another seller. Huge disappointment in Nine West!

Why soooo cute? I super love the designs especially for the cubs. My niece will walk comfortably with the pair I bought for her. Can't wait to see her wear them. She got matching dresses for sure. Will order more!
