Great quality

I am really happy with the boots that I ordered (Tecla micro vegan zip-up boots). I have received a ton of compliments on them already.
I will definitely buy my next vegan shoes from NAE!

Very happy with my purchase

Very happy with my purchase. I bought boots online and shoes in store and both were very pleasant shopping experiences. I had to exchange the boots for a smaller size, but the exchange process was very painless and easy. Plus, the products are cruelty free which is very rare to find. I love my new shoes.

High quality vegan leather, but poor quality metal buckle

Bought a belt for men.
After 3-4 month regular wear, the metal coating of the buckle is wearing of. You can see the beneath metal (cupper color). On the other hand, the vegan leather still almost looks as new.

No replacement was offered, only a discount on the next purchase.

Hello Peter,
Thanks you for sharing your experience. We're sorry about the buckle, we will take this feedback into account to improve our products. We're here for you, and the discount on your next buy is a small way to make it up. Let us know if there's anything else we can do. We appreciate your understanding! 👍🛍️

I ordered some loafers in size 40

I ordered some loafers in size 40, and customer service got in touch to say that due to a manufacturing error, the shoes ran big, and so they would send me a size 39. The shoes are still quite roomy (which is a little tricky with loafers, I means I'll need to wear them with socks or tights or I'll blister), but otherwise they are very comfortable, and I appreciate that shoe sizing is notoriously difficult to get right.

My only gripe is that the shoes didn't look quite the same as they did on the website - there were two edges that online were neatly sewn, but in reality were simply cut leather, which of course does not look so smart. I did tell customer services, and they were nice and offered me a 15% discount on a future purchase. The trouble is, even with 15% off the shoes are still an investment, and I'm a little reluctant to buy a product that might look different to how it appears online.
All in all: well made, nice product; sizing inconsistencies but the company did try to accommodate for that in advance; but also unfortunately manufacturing inconsistencies which meant the shoes looked different than expected.
I would buy from the company again, but I might stick with a sale item to see if generally speaking the products do match the website.

So soft and comforts

I love how easy it is to shop at this site. Even though it is miles away for someone who is looking for reasonably priced vegan leather stuff. These shoes are really soft, and comfortable. I can’t believe it’s not leather! A tad on the wider side but that works for me. I walked around town in them and now they are my autopilot everyday wear.

Beautiful Shoes & Great Service

I purchased the Jacque Vegan Leather pointed toe sling backs. They arrived quickly and fit perfectly. I really like the nude shoe with the toe wrapped in black. They will match my work attire nicely.
I also received great communication from NAE's team, having checked that I did in fact receive my shoes.

Don’t order from the UK!!!!!

My goodness me. What an unmitigated disaster this company is. Do not order from outside of the EU. I originally ordered size 9 uk size trainers in early august and they arrived after a couple of weeks and were toe-crushingly small. I don’t know what sizing they use but they were the equivalent of a 7.5 at best. I then had to pay £15 to return them along with completing the customs forms and pay for tracking to keep tabs of the process. Customs have now held my return for 6 weeks. Nae shoes have contacted me today telling me that customs may or may not release the return and may take a very long time to do so. The company have evidence of my return but refuse to issue a refund or send a larger size. It seems like that may well be about £60 out of pocket with absolutely nothing to show for it except hours wasted on chasing an absolutely ridiculous process. This company should make it VERY clear that no orders should be made from outside of the EU as they lack the systems to control these. They should also explain that their sizing is wrong and that their shoes come up 1 to 1.5 sizes small. I really can’t afford to lose £60 so I am absolutely gutted with this one.

The company has now replied to these concerns, unless I have misread it, with a lot of words which boil down to saying… we sent you badly sized shoes. You followed the return process as outlined on our website but customs have held it. This is out of our control, we will not give you a refund or exchange. You have lost your money’.

Awesome.

Hello Nathan,
We are truly sorry to hear about your negative experience and we understand your frustration. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas for improvement. We would like to address your concerns.
We apologize for the sizing discrepancy you encountered. Sizing can vary between brands and regions, and we acknowledge that there may have been confusion. We are continually working to improve our size charts and make them as accurate as possible.
We understand that dealing with customs and returns can be a complex and time-consuming process, especially for international orders, for that reason we offer to help so that the return safely reaches us and avoids getting stuck at customs or returned to you if they refuse to release it (we're sorry but we cannot control customs decisions).
It's unfortunate that you have not received a resolution to your satisfaction. We understand that you would like either a refund or a replacement in the correct size but according to the return policies, we need to receive and inspect the returned goods before we can proceed with a refund or exchange.
We acknowledge that our policies need to be clear and transparent, particularly when it comes to international orders and sizing. We will take steps to provide customers with more comprehensive information before making a purchase.
Your feedback is important to us, and we are committed to improving our services and ensuring that future customers have a better experience. We are working on addressing these issues and implementing changes to prevent similar situations from occurring in the future.
Have a lovely day 😊🌻

Beautiful sneakers

Beautiful sneakers, such versatile colours, and great quality. What's best about them though is that they are VEGAN waheyyy! Will be buying from NAE when I next need some shoes.

Cute, Well made, and Sustainable AF

The shoes are very well made and VERY cute. i can imagine them lasting me many years and going with many an outfit. The shipping experience was also solid. Things came to my door without a problem and relatively quickly, considering i live on the other side of the world. Additionally, NAE used almost no extra packaging to ship the shoes, which cut down on the waste immensely. Highly recommend. Would definitely buy from them again.

the strap is too short

the sandals are comfortable but the strap is too short, It takes me longer to close the strap and it's a bit difficult, it could have a bit of more length, but when I close the strap then is all good.

Really nice shoes that fit well and look good. They're also better than the non-Green alternatives! These shoes fit very well but I might have gone up half a size for even more comfort.

Very efficient delivery beautiful goods

Very efficient delivery. Delighted with the shoes, belt and purses I purchased. I had to return the belt as it was too small, but returning the item was straightforward, and was easily tracked on the courier website so I knew that NAE had received the belt.

Misleading shipping info

"Free shipping worldwide and 100 day returns" does not include the high price the customer is stuck paying if they need to return. I paid nothing to ship my shoes to the US but had to pay 35 euros just to ship them back because they were too big. I got the refund on the shoes but wasted over $35 usd on literally NOTHING (I decided to just return instead of exchanging for a smaller size since I no longer wanted to support the company). I would not have purchased in the first place if you had been transparent about your shipping policy.

Note: My experience was over a year ago but I just received an email to leave a review.

Hello Maria,
We're really sorry you had a bad experience with your return 🙁
Unfortunately returns from outside the EU need to be payed by the customer has there are shipping and customs fees involved that Nae cannot control 🙁
I'm sorry if at any part we were not transparent, we have all the information about returning from outside the European Union on our website, including the part were we say that returns are to be payed by the customer, but if you think we could be even more transparent, please let us know and we'd be glad to improve on that 😉
Since you placed your order we have been in contact with the shipping companies to try to lower this value and we hope we can do this in the near future 🙏
I hope you can give us another chance and if if you ever need any help about placing an order, just let us know and we'll give you all the information possible😉
Have a lovely day 😊🌻
