Hi Peter, I am so sorry the shoes never arrived, as per our conversation I have had the refund request put through so you will receive that in full in the coming days. In the future if you need anything please let me know and I will do my best to get you a discount on your next order. Many thanks

Hi Susan! Thank you for the feedback. So sorry to hear the package arrived damaged. Is the item okay? In terms of tracking we generally don't offer this on orders under £100 due to the cost but we are working on making all orders trackable!
