I am obsessed with Saye

I am obsessed with Saye! Bough an M89 last year and have been wearing it on most days since then, it's so pretty and comfy! Now I've also got the M70 so I can alternate - also super comfortable and gorgeous! The only reason I don't buy more is because I want to cultivate a minimalist style.

The leather tears after a short time

The leather tears after a short time, and customer support does not respond.

Addendum: ATTENTION: the statements made by SAYE in the answer below are not correct. I responded on December 30th. I sent reminders on January 3rd, 7th, 9th, and 13th. None of these messages received a response.
It’s interesting that a Trustpilot review is responded to immediately, while complaint emails are not answered at all.

Hi David:

Thank you for taking the time to update your review and for sharing your perspective. We’re really sorry for the frustration this situation has caused.

We also wanted to updated our response to let you know that it seems there may have been a communication issue, as we did send several replies and follow-ups from our side, but unfortunately we may not have received your responses correctly. This can occasionally happen due to spam filters or email delivery issues, and we truly regret if this led you to feel ignored.

Our intention has never been to prioritize a public review over direct customer communication. We genuinely want to resolve this matter with you and address the issue with your sneakers properly.

We reached out again by email recently to re-open the conversation and propose a solution, and we’d really appreciate it if you could get back to us there so we can move forward together. If you don’t see our message, we recommend checking your spam or promotions folder, just in case!

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We remain fully available to help and to find a fair solution.

"luxury" brand imitation

I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but for a product that’s marketed as “luxury” — especially luxury shoes — I felt like I should say something.

I’m basically echoing a recent 1-star review from another U.S. customer. I was looking for a more grown-up version of the Nike Blazer 77s and decided to try the M89 High. The proportions just feel off: super narrow overall, a skinny toe box, and somehow a bulky ankle. They’re not terrible shoes, but they definitely didn’t work for me.

The stitching and cuts on the side color strips were already pretty frayed right out of the box, which makes them feel more like a rough draft than a finished product. I also think the stitching on the Blazer 77s looks way better overall — it highlights the construction more and just feels more balanced in terms of the shoe’s proportions.

What really sealed it was the return process. The company will either give me a full-value gift card or charge $35 to return them, which, counting the shipping cost to receive the order, is about a third of what the shoes cost. They’re shoes. If they can afford to issue a full gift card (covering return shipping plus shipping a new pair), they can clearly afford the return shipping; they choose not to.

Furthermore, they ask you to wait 1-3 days for a return packaging label, and a separate potentially different wait for notification of a "drop off point". I must be missing something here ...

Overall, this feels like lazy customer service from a “luxury” brand, especially one that already seems to have some durability complaints. As we already know, there is no substitute for iconic. I’d skip these.

Do not buy these unless you are…

Do not buy these unless you are positive you will keep them (sizes are a bit off, long and skinny by can make your feet look big). Or you live in Germany. Otherwise returns are a nightmare. 1st, they charge you $35! Rip off. You have to print 3-4 forms, use DHL which is the least common shipper in the US, get a customs window etc. a joke. Even takes “1-3 days” to dueled the label. Epitome of ineffective. Avoid, far too many great brands w US customer service.

Hi Kelly:

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear it didn’t feel smooth or positive, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

After reviewing your order, we can confirm that the exchange request was placed on January 3rd, and the return package from the US arrived at our warehouse in Germany on January 8th, which is within the usual timeframe for an international shipment.

As the exchange was for a lower-priced item, no return fee was applied and the price difference was issued as a gift card, sent to the email address used for your order. If you can’t find it, our team will be more than happy to help at hello@sayebrand.com.

In any case, return costs are outlined in our FAQs by country, though exchanges are not subject to a return fee, as in this case. If your review refers to a different order or if there’s anything else we can do to improve your experience, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d really appreciate the chance to help.

Walking on clouds

Quick postage, beautiful packaging, and sustainably made sneakers that feel like I’m walking on clouds. What’s not to love?

Cool and ethically made

I bought a pair of tomato M99 City and they are just great! Comfortable, warm and cool. But most importantly, knowing that no animals have been hurt and the impact of my shoes on the planet is reduced to a minimum, make them even more valuable.

Cannot recommend this brand

After wearing the shoes a few days they started coming apart at the seams. I wrote to the customer service about this, they wrote back soon after asking for pictures of the shoes which I sent them and then I never heard back – even though I tried reaching out multiple times.
