An absolute scam. Steer well clear of these clowns!!
Ordered a pair of shoes on the "closing down" sale - offering a significant reduction on their usual price, apparently. The shoes in this case where advertised as a full leather, handmade pair of brogues, to be delivered via royal mail
What arrived was a made in china, plastic + fake leather pair of shoes, hastily packed in a wrap of packaging paper and delivered by Evri.
When I requested a refund, they offered a 30% refund only and offered to let me keep the shoes. Presumably the shoes are worth almost nothing (they look and feel insanely poor), hence their offer of just keeping the pair
Do not buy from them, a complete scam.
They do not have a legit website - it is just an extension from their Facebook or Instagram pages.
These scammers are sometimes associated with brand variations like "Evelyn & Rowe" or "Laurent & Rowe" none of whioch are legitimate American premium brands, although their associated web pages are beautifully presented.
Aldren and Rowe actually operates as an untrustworthy dropshipping storefront.
The store heavily advertises on platforms like Instagram and Facebook, presenting itself as a high-end, classic men's footwear or clothing boutique with massive discounts (e.g., "70% off clearance"). They give a wonderful story about being an artisan, traditional American shoe maker who refuse to compromise and are choosing to close rather than be forced to shift production off-shore and reduce their quality. IRONIC reallly - as they do, infact, produce low quality shoes in China.
And although they claim to have limited stock left at these discounted prices, no matter how many items you order there is still the same "few" left !!
Their presentation is VERY, VERY professional but do not be fooled.
Also, their 30 day Refund (Return) policy simply does not work - once you have their terrible shoes you are stuck with them!
