Company details

  1. Shoe Store

Written by the company

Vagabond was founded in the late 60’s and originally only produced men’s shoes. So much has happened since. In the 80’s Vagabond’s young entrepreneurs-to-be fell in love with the brand and were entrusted with its transformation. In the beginning the design office was located in Portugal and in Italy, close to the world’s best knowledge of shoemaking. In 1993 Vagabond moves back to Varberg, Sweden, to set up a full workshop for prototypes, most likely one of its kind in Northern Europe.

Great experience with Vagabond customer service! They replied really quickly, were super helpful, and even flexible enough to extend my return window so I could wait for a restock. Really smooth and stress-free support.

Satisfied

The shoes I ordered are flawless (although they didn't fit well due to my deformated feet, but that's not the shoes' fault), as is the packiging. As for the administraton, everything is impeccable. The help desk is very efficient, patient and helpful.

The sneakers arrived quickly and…

The sneakers arrived quickly and exactly as described. The overall build quality feels solid—materials are well finished, and nothing looks or feels cheap. They’re comfortable right out of the box, with good cushioning and support, which makes them suitable for longer walks as well as everyday use.
Sizing runs slightly small, so going up half a size was the right decision in my case. The exchange process was handled smoothly, and the refund for the returned pair was processed without issues. Communication with customer support was clear and efficient throughout.
Overall, a reliable product backed by professional service.

Great Customer Service

Super quick, easy and kind customer service! Id say one of the best I have experienced. I had a minor issue with the strap on my Loafers and they were very helpful and offered different options for me to choose from to help me with my problem. 10/10

Beatiful quality shoes

Beatiful quality shoes, and great service! Free retour because the boots I received were one size too small. I’m still waiting to receive the new ones. But kind service, so I would buy here again!

Faulty buckle - quick exchange

The buckle on one of my shoes was faulty but I didn't realise this until after the return period as I only wore the shoes outside for the first time a month after purchasing. However, Emma on the chatbox was incredibly helpful and issued me an exchange immediately. Great service.
