Lousy customer service for a regular customer
Little worn Dice shoes have worn away badly inside the heel which is clear evidence of poor quality manufacture. Having acted for footwear companies in Europe and the Far East I know this to be the case. I complained but AA refuse to replace the product and have offered for me find a repairer or instead to give me a modest compensation. The shoes should be replaced as they are poor quality and certainly not durable. AA customer services are particularly obdurate .
Clearly the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. QED Please follow the e mail traffic.

Very disappointing experience with Axel Arigato!
After only a few months and very limited wear, the sole of my €250 shoes started visibly detaching. Instead of offering a replacement or refund under statutory warranty, the company repeatedly dismissed the issue as “wear and tear” and only offered a partial discount or repair reimbursement.
For a premium brand at this price point, this level of quality and customer service is unacceptable.
I cannot recommend purchasing from this brand!

No breathability
I love the design but I’ve spent over 300€ on the least breathable runners I’ve ever experienced, and the sole is unreasonably heavy. I’m getting blisters wearing these over 30 minutes, can’t believe in 2026 there are still runners made without breathability…

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback, we’re sorry to hear the sneakers haven’t felt comfortable so far. Since they’re made from genuine leather, they can feel stiff at first and may need a few short wears to break in. We recommend not wearing them for long periods initially and using blister plasters if needed. The leather will soften with time and mold to your feet for a more comfortable fit. We appreciate your comments on comfort and breathability, as feedback like this helps us continue improving.

Very disappointed
I purchased a pair of sneakers and received a shipping tracking number. The parcel was in transit when half way I got a notification to say that my parcel had been returned due to incorrect paperwork for customs. I received a refund but never the opportunity to re send the shoes. When I contacted customer support they told me to put another order in. By this point the shoes I wanted were no longer listed on the website. Very disappointed with the service.

I want to share my experience with this…
I want to share my experience with this company. I ordered three pairs of sneakers online. Overall, the website was pleasant and intuitive. I understand that the delivery was from abroad, so it took a few days. But the first thing that bothered me was that the courier Parcelforce express24 left the package at my door. He signed for me, and my name was even incorrectly listed on the delivery confirmation. . I also filed a complaint with the delivery service Parcelforce express24, but no one ever responded. When I saw the SMS notifications, I had to quickly get home because I was worried that the expensive package was sitting at my door or somewhere else entirely. Our apartment complex also has a concierge, so the courier could leave the package with him. And it would be safer. Thank goodness, the package was at my door. The box, in my opinion, wasn't very well packed; you could see the contents. It was tattered. Fortunately, everything inside was in order. All the shoes are very good quality and looked very presentable in their beautiful yellow boxes. After trying them on, I decided to keep one pair of sneakers and return the other two. I followed the instructions. By the way, I want to thank the company for including a free return sticker inside. A few days later, I received a notification that my return had been received. I was completely disappointed that they received only one pair of sneakers and would refund me for one pair. I wrote to the company that I had returned two pairs, and unfortunately, they told me they could refund the money for the one pair they received. I felt helpless, disappointed, and offended. I began to escalate the situation, mentioning that I had returned two pairs of sneakers. Fortunately, a few days later, the company decided to refund me for the missing pair. I am very grateful to the company for this. But I understand that free returns are entirely my responsibility. So free returns may not be as free as they seem. You need to understand this when ordering. I don't understand where in the chain the failure occurred, or why the company ended up receiving only one pair of the two I sent. This greatly mars my experience with Axel Arigato. And this was my first time, I really wanted sneakers from them. Unfortunately, next time I will think very carefully about ordering products from them online.
I'm taking off one star because I had to worry about this for a couple of weeks, and every time I put on the sneakers I had mixed feelings: on the one hand, I really liked them, but on the other hand, I remembered that I got into this unpleasant situation for which I might not get my money back.
