I’m surprised to see poor reviews; I needed to initiate an exchange and I despise going through these procedures as they’re so long winded and arduous ordinarily. I dealt with an advisor named Nida wh... See more

The end of a good thing

Shoe carnival of Florence Alabama is now shoe station, I have been buying my shoes here for many years but no more They are rude They have very limited men's shoes They have no more senior citizen discount. Shoe carnival always was good for the whole family but since they done went and changed the name it's just another damn shoe store. Al Bundy must be the CEO and he has really screwed this store up. No more of my business too expensive and no variety I hope they have good look selling their T-shirts

Horrible shipping

Not shoe carnival per se but shipped using fedex. Ordered with ample time to be delivered before Christmas and still not here. Will never order from them so long as they use fedex.

Can’t give 0/5 stars

Can’t give 0/5 stars. Got charged on my card twice. No order confirmation. Said it was a conflict of billing/shipping address. Talked to a customer service agent and they told me I would get my full refund in 3/5 business days. Didn’t even try to keep the sale…lol

Ordered a size 10 Levi’s shoe

Ordered a size 10 Levi’s shoe. The receipt says 10, box says 10, and inside the box was a size 8. They are terrible and when after speaking with customer support they weren’t going to refund for shipping after they screwed up. Save yourself the trouble and get shoes elsewhere, complete joke

Avoid online orders

Ordered online. They sent the shoes with a security tag. Burden now on me to drive an hour to a store or make a trip to the post office, mail the shoes back, and wait over a week to receive the correct order. Did they offer a discount or coupon in return for the delay or burden on me? No. Zero stars for companies who make careless mistakes and then shift the burden to the customer to fix their mistakes with no offer of recourse. Zero stars.

If I could give 0 stars I would

If I could give 0 stars I would. Purchased shoes from store 466 in Tucson. I had the receipt and only had the shoes for a week. I wore them once for a couple of hours inside, but because I was truthful and said I wore them, the associate would only give me store credit. I love 45min away from this store and would NEVER go back. So basically I am OUT over $50. DO NOT SHOP at this COMPANY!!!! STAY AWAY

Plenty of shoes to shop for!

First thing I went online to see reviews of shoes carnival before shop their store and whoa lot of negatives reviews. So negatives for the shop. So I decide to take the risk to shop there. And no problem. I had no problem ordering some shoes from them. It arrived quickly than the date it be arriving. The shoes was unfortunately not match for me. I return it back in the mail. No problem. I don’t see any problem with the company. I get the refund back. Still no problem. To be clear the shoes carnival company will take $6.00 and the shipping costs out of your credit that you paid for the shop. Only getting half refund back to you. Maybe these people shop at the wrong time that caused them to leave a bad reviews for the company. I am real person lol. I don’t work for that company.

Horrible!!

Horrible!!! Their website offers expedited shipping. Paid significantly more to have it delivered BY 7/26. It said it right next to the shipping option I picked. It’s now 7/27 and it hasn’t even shipped yet. Customer service says I can’t cancel the order and that it’s still within the “shipping window”. The shipping window ended yesterday per their “get it by Friday 7/26” notification next to their shipping options. I’ll never order from there again. Customer service was zero help. Scrambling to find a replacement before my event tomorrow.

Not one employee asked if I could be of assistence an I did not ask either. An the selection for what I was looking for was not available either. At my job we ask customers if they need any help but of all the 5 or 6 at shoe carnival. NO ONE offered any thing. So. Ididnot buy any thing an WONT be back.

Horrible customer Service

I wish I could give the Shoe Carnival, Panama City, FL a "0". They had the worst customer service ever. My brand new sandles came a part . I only wanted to exchange the sandles. The rude sister service girls thought I wanted money back
After such a horrible experience and the manager on the phone Told them to exchange them they did. I did get the new pair. The new pair of shoes begin to come apart at the seams. They lasted maybe another week. The shoes finally became all the way unglued.. I am not sure of the purchase date exactly. I think it was around mothers day week.

They demanded my e mail at checkout

They demanded my e mail at checkout. I told her no, and she said they couldn’t check me out without one. I thought this strange, but reluctantly gave it. They immediately sold or traded or gave away, ALL my personal information and I was flooded the next day, and everyday since, with spam e mails and spam calls. I called corporate and they didn’t deny selling my personal information.
Shop elsewhere if you can.
