I thought the shoes were very nice. However, they were too big (I ordered my usual size). In addition, when they were delivered, I noticed that they didn’t have regular laces but were elastic slip-on... See more

I didn’t know that the return policy is…


I didn’t know that the return policy is only 14 days. I was on vacation, and because of that I couldn’t return the shoes that don’t fit in time. When I contacted customer support, they refused to help, which I find extremely unacceptable. A 14-day return policy — where does that even exist anymore? And the fact that they are not willing to make any exception or show goodwill is really disappointing.

Absolutely dreadful

Utterly unacceptable — I have neither received my order nor been refunded. This is completely intolerable.

Terrible service

16 days after confirmation of receipt of the return, I still haven't received a refund. The return shipping costs are also very high (€12).
Terrible service!

14 days is too short for return/exchange policy

14 days is too short for return policy. Especialy during the busy holiday season where I had to shop early in time(Sinterklaas & Christmas). I’ve sent a request via e-mail, I wanted to exchange the shoes I bought (Sinterklaas present for my daughter) for a smaller size, 2 days too late, no flexibility in even Exchange the shoes for a smaller size. Now I have shoes no one can wear🙈

I ordered a pair of Steve Madden boots…

I ordered a pair of Steve Madden boots in Portugal advertised with fur lining, but received a different pair without it. Getting in touch was a nightmare—it took days and multiple emails and calls. I’ve now returned the boots, but it’s been over 10 days with confusing updates about my refund, and once again they’re impossible to reach. Very frustrating experience.
