Disappointed in the quality of the trainers
I’m really upset about these trainers. I love how they look and feel (hence the one star above the minimum), but after just 5 months of wear they started ripping at the back, and the sole began coming unglued at the side.
Customer service refused to believe I’d only worn them for 5 months, instead counting the time between purchase and my complaint as 10 months of “wear.” Even if that were true, this level of damage still wouldn’t be acceptable.
They dismissed it as normal wear and tear and closed the case. I’m fuming — completely unacceptable for the price point.
I really wish I’d read the reviews beforehand.

Hi Ioana,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear how disappointed you feel, especially as you initially enjoyed both the look and feel of the trainers.
When assessing a product claim, we don’t base our decision solely on the estimated time the shoes may have been worn. Instead, our evaluation focuses on the nature and characteristics of the wear and damage itself. Based on that assessment, the damage observed did not indicate a manufacturing or material defect but was consistent with wear over time.
We understand that this outcome can be disappointing, and we’re sorry this wasn’t the resolution you were hoping for.
Best,
Team Axel Arigato

Very disappointing
Very disappointing. The trainers I ordered were delivered to my front doorstep and were subsequently stolen. Axel Arigato have confirmed that they take no responsibility for this as in their view the package was successfully delivered. Very concerning that a £225 pair of trainers delivered on a front doorstep (without my permission) in clear sight of a busy road is deemed as successful delivery. On top of this there was no communication to confirm the trainers were being delivered when they were. Will never be shopping here again.

Premium pricing for total junk
I bought these shoes expecting luxury quality, but they started falling apart after less than two weeks. The glue is giving up and the soles are peeling off already. To make it worse, I paid extra to swap for white laces, and they arrived dirty. How does that happen at this price point?
I contacted support with photos of the damage. Instead of helping, they forced me to send even more pictures, like they were trying to prove me wrong. Now, they claim they have a straightforward return process, but that is not true. They refuse to offer a simple collection, so I have to do all the heavy lifting myself: packing it up, printing labels, and finding a post office. Worst of all, I am still waiting for the return label they promised to send days ago.
I am not interested in jumping through more hoops. I paid for a premium product that failed in under two weeks. I need this sorted out immediately.

Hi Iina,
We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced with the shoes and that the return process felt frustrating. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide.
When we request additional photos, it’s solely to properly assess the fault and escalate quality matters to our production team, never to question our customers, and we’re sorry if it came across that way.
A prepaid return label was sent during the weekend, however, we understand that printing and packaging the return yourself can feel inconvenient, and we regret that added effort.
We see that the return has now been resolved with the help of our store staff, and we hope this eased the process. Your refund will be processed shortly.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. If there’s anything more we can help with, our customer support team is always here for you.

Very disappointing experience
My order (around $700) was marked as delivered with a “Met Customer” status, but I never received it and was not home at the time.
There was no clear proof of delivery, and when I reached out for help, the process was frustrating and not very supportive. Overall, I’m really disappointed with how this was handled. Customer service kept insisting on me signing a document to even take a look...very unusual process.

Hi,
We’re very sorry to hear that this situation was handled in a way that felt frustrating and disappointing.
The document you were asked to sign is a requirement from the courier’s side, as they’re unable to open a parcel investigation without it. We understand that this can feel unusual and inconvenient, and we’re sorry if this wasn’t clearly explained at the time.
We always aim to navigate courier requirements while providing the smoothest and most supportive experience possible, and feedback like yours helps us continue improving how we support our customers in situations like this. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us.
