Excellent quality leather boots and fantastic that they come in UK size men's 13. There are fewer and fewer manufacturers offering sizes over UK12. The side zip makes it so much quicker to put on/tak... See more

Blue leather trainers

Ordered some jeans, and trainers. Jeans were great, the trainers leather was slightly warped, but they quickly arranged a replacement pair. Great communication, and the the trainers are fantastic.

Made an order

Made an order, Royal Mail sending my purchase miles away in a different part of the country. I contacted O/S customer, Sarah came to the rescue and resolved the issue that Royal Mail caused, so a big thank you to Sarah for a five star customer service

SARAH'S HELP

Great customer service from Sarah. Nothing was too much trouble. Emailed me with all the details of the sizing worries I had and even rang me when I didn't understand. It's a shame all companies can't be more like this. Thanks again Sarah for being patient and going above and beyond. It was much appreciated.

I reported an issue by email

I reported an issue by email. Within 12 hours, I received a personal call outlining my issue and what they were prepared to do to resolve my concern. In this day and age, it is unusual to find a business that shows their true customer service by their actions. A breath of fresh air and confirmed my future business with them. Thank you Ridian. 10 out of 10.

Not good.

Unfortunately, the shoes are not of good quality. After wearing them for only a week, they started to destroy my socks. The material is not breathable, and the upper part around the big toe area wore out very quickly, creating a hole.

As a result, six pairs of my socks were damaged.

Customer service was not willing to provide a refund. After I sent the shoes for inspection, they confirmed the hole had formed, but they still refused to issue a refund and instead offered a gift voucher.

A voucher is not a good solution for me, as I am concerned that if I buy another pair, the same problem could happen again.

Very disappointing experience.

Hi Gabrijel,

After our team inspected your trainers, we let you know that it looked like they were a size too small and therefore your toenails had worn a hole in the lining (and your socks). Despite this not being a fault with the trainers themselves, the team offered you a voucher for the full purchase price of the trainers. You have then stopped engaging with our team. We would certainly be very happy to honour this offer so that you can experience the true quality of Oliver Sweeney footwear. If you would like to get back in touch, we might even be able to send you out some socks as well.

Kind regards

Oliver Sweeney

Happy customer

Had one pair of shoes fitted lovely but the second pair were too tight even though I ordered 13. Very happy with the returns process which was quick and easy.

Was wondering if OS shoes and boots…

Was wondering if OS shoes and boots purchased in a sale are seconds? Out of thr 4 pairs purchased I’ve had to send back 3 for being to small, mainly to narrow to put on. Would have thought 2 pairs being boots there wouldn’t have been a problem.

Great customer service

After mistakenly updating only my billing address I realised the shipping address was incorrect once I received the order confirmation. The trainers were a birthday gift and I was in a panic. I emailed the company and promptly received a response from Sarah confirming the shipping address has been amended. I want to thank them for the swift and helpful response. they truly went the extra mile and I know my husband will love his gift.

Excellent shoes - excellent customer service

I've bought Oliver Sweeney shoes for years and have always rated the quality and design of their shoes. Good to know that their customer service is up there with their craftsmanship! Very impressed with the response I had from their team to an issue I faced with my order. The issue was investigated promptly and a resolution found quickly from someone who was clearly a longstanding member of the team. We realised, in fact, he had once sold me shoes directly back when they had their own stores in central London. In an age of faceless companies and outsourced call centres, it was great to feel that I was interacting with real people who were invested in what they were doing and committed to looking after their customers. Highly recommended all round.

A1 returns service

Alas my roll- neck merino jumper, purchased in the sale, was too tight & had to be returned. The OS returns procedure is easy & the customer is updated at each stage in the process. You can buy with confidence from OS

I had an exceptional experience from…Ridian

I had an exceptional experience from start to finish. Ridian was professional, friendly, and genuinely cared about delivering the best possible service. Every question was answered clearly and promptly, and nothing was too much trouble. Their attention to detail, proactive communication, and willingness to go the extra mile made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I felt valued as a customer, and the level of care and commitment shown was truly impressive. This is customer service done right, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality, and customer-focused experience. The end product from OS is always impeccable.
