Spotted this company in the Sunday Times today - look like nice shoes and things but has anyone ordered anything?

Buy one a pair get a pair free?
With free shoe horns, bags laces?
Sounds too good to be true, but might be ok.

proper crap shoes

not worth bothering with

edit - no offence but they look bad in the pictures, never mind when you actually see the things in the flesh

you get what you pay for

I have bought a couple of pairs some years ago and to be fair they are both still going.

By no means are they a quality product but have lasted longer than I thought they would (with moderate use).

I have bought a couple of pairs of shoes from them in the past...

1/ Poor quality to say the least
2/ Customer Service is even worse than the quality of their shoes. Alot worse to be fair...

Very variable quality in my experience.

I was pleased with one pair, the others are a bit ropey.

Took a risk - ordered two pairs.

Lets see, but a 30 day money back guarantee and bought on Credit card means that I am pretty safe. If they are OK then great, saved me hassle and time. If they are crap, I get my money back. Seems fair. Fingers crossed though.

I've got 4 pairs, not bad but not as good as a loake or similar. Fine for occasional smart wear. Found customer service OK.

Perfectly adequate shoes (I have two pairs).

IMHO, they are far better than the similar priced tat that is available on the high street.

the leather slippers aren't bad for the money but not in the same league as churches...

No No No don't do it.

I didn't recall telling them I was club footed when I put an order in a few years back, but they sent me shoes for someone who was by the size and feel of them.

hehe
