Chemo damage and Josef Siebel ultra comfort!

My feet, damaged by chemo some 7 years ago, really love Josef Siebel shoes. Not Westland but Josef Siebel. I have a lot of JS shoes and sandals. They have a high toe box and they are all incredibly comfortable. I wish other styles were available. No other brand compares.

Always fabulous quality

Always fabulous quality. Comfortable and stylish shoes and sandals. I also have several pairs of JS ankle boots and wear them throughout Winter. The range of styles is always just that little bit different to other similar brands, from excellent colour ways to styling. Customer service and delivery also tip top. Well done JS!

Seibel Chance 59 men's shoes.

After wearing dr martens shoes all my life I found when I went for a new pair, that they no longer fitted. 9s too big or wide, 8s too small. After a long search for the perfect shoe I found it in the Seibel Chance 59. Good quality and instantly comfortable (no painful breaking in period). The search is over.

I won't consider any other brand

I discovered Josef Seibel shoes a few years ago and won't consider any other brand. I need extra wide shoes which support my arches, which JS products do very well.

I love my Joseph ankle boots and sandals. I have three pairs of boots, red, dark blue and tan. They’re soooo comfortable and look great. I also have three pairs of sandals, a lovely apple green, blue and tan. The only ones I use all summer long because again they are sooo comfortable and look good with everything.

I've been buying shoes and clogs from Joseph Seibal for many years,, they were excellent quality and lasted years.

I've been buying shoes and clogs from Joseph Seibal for many years, they were excellent quality and lasted years. The last two pairs I bought have soles that disintegrated within a year. These were worn a few days a week, for a few hours. What a great shame that a once excellent company is now turning out such shoddy products.

Great quality shoes

Great quality shoes and quick shipping. The sandals, particularly Sevran and Evita styles are great for people who want a smart looking but comfy shoe

Seibel quality now appalling and they don't seem to care.

I, like too many other reviewers, bought Seibel shoes because of a good experience in the past only to find that their quality is now downright awful. My shoes are (were!) used very lightly but the sole split in half. Seibel's response? -'go talk to the retailer'! Perceived attitude was - 'we don't care'. Before you buy Seibel, look for a different brand as it can't be worse.

Poor quality soles on boots

Poor quality soles on boots meaning that they split and can't be repaired. sadly, the tops are still excellent but the construction of the sole means that they can't be resoled so have had to dispose of. Not the quality of sole you would expect for the price and not environmentally friendly either.

Josef Seibel are excellent shoes

Josef Seibel are excellent shoes. Made of superior leather, etc & most are slightly wider fit like an 'E' or more, so those with wide feet do have a much biger choice than other shoe companies offer. Above all, Seibel shoes are so comfortable. I will only buy those shoes, boots & sandals now. Such a pity I did not discover them years ago. I recommend them & their online dispatch service to all as excellent.

Leather Ankle Boots

Very disappointed with my 2 pair of leather ankle boots. Bought via John Lewis in October 2026.

Cost me £120 each

shoe soles of one pair totally split after 6 month

Both pair are now both leaking in water

I have been wearing those boots mostly in non rainy weather and just because of a little rain the are ruined
Will never buy Joseph Seibel again

I would give ZERO if I could

I would give ZERO if I could. I bought some red Joseph Seibel boots in December 2025. By the end of January 2026 (2 months) the soles had worn down and needed to be re-soled, HOWEVER, because they mould the soles together, it would have mean having to remove the entire boot sole (bottom of shoe) at a cost of £50!!! I AM SOOOOOO angry. They were not cheap and there is no way I'm paying 3/4 the price of the boots for repair only two months after purchase. Unfortunately, I did not keep the receipt (who does).

Not happy

My partner bought Josef seibel boots from Costco for Christmas,being warm and comfy,but it all stops there,three of the decorative studs fell out of the boot,I went to the cobblers to see if they could do anything,then I went on Josefs site were I wrote a review,but before sending it I found the customer service phone number,so I rang it,and asked if they could repair or suggest anything,I like the boots,but they were of no help only suggesting I take them back to Costco, then I'd have no boots so really unhappy with outcome,my partner buys about 2 pairs a year for himself I buy him a pair and he's starting to try and get me to wear some,no a big no no
