Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 162 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Customers frequently praise the quality of the shoes, noting the soft leather, excellent craftsmanship, and overall comfort. Many find the footwear to be well-made, durable, and stylish, often describing them as the most comfortable shoes they have ever worn. The unique insoles are particularly appreciated for providing good support, especially for those with high arches. However, some customers have experienced issues with product quality, such as shoes developing holes or the leather being fragile and chipping. There are also concerns regarding sizing, with some finding the shoes run small or large, leading to the need for exchanges. Delivery service is another point of dissatisfaction for a minority of people, with reports of significant delays, lack of communication, and unexpected additional fees upon arrival.

Lovely warm slippers that also look good and feel comfortable. Great fabric design. There is some arch support, though I’d prefer a bit more. My second pair of Viba shoes. I love them, but they’re ver... See more

Coarse finish cut my foot.

I bought two pairs of Roma shoes.
The inlay is soft and comfortable, however the upper of the shoe is poorly finished, so much so that when I wore them they cut a clear and definitive line across the top of my foot. I can no longer wear them.

The shoes are genuinely lovely but delivery very poor

The shoes are genuinely lovely. I have bought two pairs now. They are comfortable, very well made and fit very extremely well. Their customer service is also very responsive, and you can easily reach a human.

The only issue I have is with their delivery partner; the amount of time I have had to spend - opening accounts with the delivery partner to amend the delivery instructions, getting stuck in endless loops with their customer service, trying to change the delivery instructions because they were not delivered when they were supposed to have been - make it nearly not worth buying the shoes in the first place..

Not well made!

After a ten day holiday the shoes have come apart completely. The souls have come out of both and the leather has peeled away on one. I was just wearing them on a regular summer holiday - no long walks or getting wet!

Bad customer service

Their size suggestions doesn’t work, use the size chart instead.
Their customer service is very bad and slow. No one answered my first message ever and they where not able to resolve or help in anyway once they finally answered to my third message. I cannot recommend this to anyone. If you want the shoes, buy them somewhere else.

Long return process and AI bot for customer service

The delivery time is not out of the ordinary, it's okay. I ordered shoes in size 37, however the size chart on their website must be the shoe length and not the foot length. Which meant the shoes were too small for me. I sent them back for an exchange. Then my troublesome experience started. Firstly, it took some time for the shoes to get back to the company. And after that - nothing happened. Secondly, after five days I tried to get in touch with their customer service, but all I got was an AI bot to chat with. Tired of waiting, I wanted to cancel the exchange and get a refund instead. The chat bot prompted me to share my emailadress and customer service would get back to me. After 48hrs still nothing. I then posted a comment of disappointment on their social media along with a request for contact via the webpage. This was in the weekend. Monday morning I got a response. My problem was then solved within one hour, along with a total refund. It was such a relief to finally get in touch with a real person. The swiftness in the problem solving was a great plus from my part, thankful I finally got in touch with their customer service and they responded with a very nice customer focus.
I like the design a lot, maybe I will place a new order in some time. If this is the case, I will be sure to order the right show size from the beginning.

Initially I loved my Nova slippers

Initially I loved my Nova slippers. However four months on they have worn pretty badly, and have stretched so much that they are way to large. Given the cost I would have expected these to have worn better. I wouldn't purchase another pair.

Not impressed

Not impressed. Ordered three pairs of shoes, which were shipped to me in three different parcels. All of them too small, even though I strictly followed their size shart. My feet are very narrow and yet I was unable to put one of the shoes on. The returning has been made as difficult as possible. They sent me ONE return label and the instructions is to return the products in the original boxes. So ONE return label instead of three labels. An this costs me 10 euros. And the best part: you have to print the label! In the year 2025 you actually have to find a printer and print a paper label. Ridiculous.

Wonderful company and my dream shoes

Such a wonderful company - I bought a pair of ROMAs and couldn't be happier with them. I had an issue with them shortly after wearing and customer service could not have been more helpful, solving the problem. I hope Vibae never stop making these shoes as they are what I've always been looking for and I will be buying from them for life.

The shoes are nice but UPS carrier sucks

The shoes are nice, but their carrier UPS really sucks. Got my 1st pair 2 years ago and now wanted a second pair in a different color. My package is now stuck in my town ( 6km away) for 3 days and has been delayed now twice. I can’t even pick it up myself before they send me a message. It is extremely bad service. Vibae- shame on you to use this carrier!!!

So comfortable

Really pleased with my Roma shoes, they are so comfy. Ordered a pair of St Tropez and can’t wait for them to arrive. I live in the U.K. and it takes about 2 weeks to get them delivered assuming they aren’t on backorder, which is made clear when to are ordering. Not bad delivery time in my opinion, considering they are coming from another country.

I have purchased from this company…

I have purchased from this company before. The shoes are great however there is always a delay in delivery. This time, my package is stuck in UK customs despite me having paid all duties. This indicates that there may be a problem with the company’s paperwork. Neither UPS nor Vibae are being proactive at sorting out the issue. I am the one who has been chasing UPS and Vibae with not much success. Because of their use of AI virtual assistant, it has become impossible to speak to a real person. I placed this order back in May and it is now a month later and I am still waiting!

Put in the wrong address asked them to change it with UPS as only the sender can. They said the did but when it was attempted to be delivered it still had the wrong address and was returned to sender. I now have to go on a month trip without the shoes, absolutely worst service.

Heavenly Saint Tropez

I'm using these Saint Tropez shoes as my summer slippers and they are already, after just a few weeks, the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. Beautifully soft, malleable leather and a great footbed - just heavenly!
