The shoes were the wrong size, courier not good

The shoes were the wrong size. I got the Adidas Gazelle and the size chart said EU size 38 corresponds to UK size 4 but they were too small. Also the courier probably never came to the house because we were in, they never left a notice through the door and left the parcel at the post office.

Hello Stuart,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm sorry to hear your experience with Rubbersole has been negative so far.

We have 2 warehouses we ship from: one in Peterborough and one in Saint Quentin en Fallavier, France. Your order is coming from the French warehouse, it was shipped on 18/12 is currently in transit to the Evri depot in the UK. It can take several day for the truck to arrive at the border and pass through customs, as such there are no new scans on the parcel until it reaches the Evri depot. Once the tracking link has updated the parcel will be delivered to you rapidly.

Happy Holidays! Kind regards,
Emma @ Rubbersole

Do not purchase from here!!! I wish I had read the reviews.

I wish I had read the reviews.
It looks like I’m not alone in having a negative experience with Rubbersole who also own a sister brand called Spartoo in Europe. I had the worst experience purchasing Coach loafers here - they sent the wrong size. When I emailed them, they said I could refund it so I reordered it again this time with two sizes, hoping for the right size AND NOPE, still the wrong sizes. They told me Coach has ‘weird sizing’ but in what planet is a US11 a size UK 6.5 or UK 7.5? After a lot of back & forth, they basically said they can’t do anything and to return the shoes for a refund.

I did not have a good experience here and wish I had never stumbled upon this website. I urge you not to purchase from here — it could be possible the shoes are not legitimate based on the sticker of the box not matching the sizing on the Coach website. Don’t purchase from here!

Received an odd pair of sandals... Disappointing

I ordered a pair of sandals a few days ago, I was so happy to get my order only to find out I got sent 2different sandal (see pictures) and this isn't the first time I order something from Rubbersole and get something else. It's so annoying as this was showing as the last pair in stock and I really love Ash footwear sandals as they are amazing quality real leather.

I'll contact your customer service shortly to arrange a return to send this back

Hello Layla,

First, I would like to reassure you: counterfeit goods are forbidden by law and any trader dealing in counterfeit goods is subject to heavy penalties.

As such, RUBBERSOLE.CO.UK follows the law and we receive our stock directly from official brands.

It is absolutely impossible that one our customers could receive a counterfeit item sent from our online shop.

I am sorry that the little flag came off, this is likely an exceptional defect of the glue. The boots you purchased had a synthetic rubber sole and leather uppers. I am not sure if it is the rubber you are smelling but I am sorry you do not feel they are the quality you are used to.

Thank you for sharing your shopping experience with us. I am sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with your latest order.

Kind regards,

Marie

Great and I had no issues at all

I was waiting until I'd completed a back and forward, purchase and return situation with Rubbersole to review them. Two pairs boots bought, one returned, another bought, returned, another pair bought lol. And all this happened without any hitches, good customer service, good email updates, good tracking, quick refunds. I have ended up with two cracking pairs of boots - and I have looked EVERYWHERE and not found anyone who stocks great, top end gorgeous boots like this company. I was nervous ordering and parting with a lot of money because of bad reviews I'd read here (always check a company out first!) but I had no issues. So just wanted to review and say I had a great experience here. Don't know if they've been less than good in the past but honestly, my back and forwarding, returns and so on .. no bother. I reckon they deserve a chance :)

Rubber sole UK

I have learnt a terrible lesson! Always check if a company not used Trust Pilot or just Google them!
I have ordered some leather patent brogues £74.99, they came wrong size in the right box ! What a suprise after reading lots of other reviews. I then did manage to speak to someone today because my order is showing on their non friendly tongues web site as not delivered so I can't generate a return to get my refund!!! I have been told they have a problem with that and took my order number so they can add me to the list to sort out with their provider as customers services can't do this. The shoes are supposed to be leather patent, they look poor quality have nothing written inside them like leather etc and I suspect they are not. I will give it till next week to see if they rectify their technical errors BUT I suspect from all the terrible reviews they won't !!! Lucky for me I paid by credit card and my card company will refund me as I am covered!
BUT I think this company is really bad and taking peoples money and then making it hard to get it back or not at all they know it from other people's experiences! DO NOT USE THEM !

Hello Amelia,

I apologise that these technical errors are causing you stress. I am also sorry that you are unhappy with your shoes.

After looking into it, the shoes you have ordered from the brand Betty London, have a leather patent outer part with synthetic lining and insole.

This situation with the inability to not create a return on your end is an exceptional technical error that our team is working very hard to correct as soon as possible.

We do not make it difficult to receive refunds, we only need to correct this error before we can create you a return. I appreciate you being understanding of this exceptional situation.

Thank you for sharing your shopping experience with us. I am sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with your latest order.

Kind regards,

Marie

I don't know if this company actually exists

I don't know if this company actually exists? I ordered a pair of coach loafers. After reading the many disastrous comments I wanted to cancel my order through the PayPal address of spartoo? No answer then I got an email saying my evri delivery date was now expected 6 days later than the first delivery date. I reported the issue to PayPal and the company. I got a refund after 2 days.

Hello Nathalie,

I am sorry that the negative reviews on trustpilot generated a distrust in our company.

We do our best to provide customers with a positive experience. When we spoke to you on Monday, we cancelled your order upon request. Your order was immediately refunded to your PayPal account after confirmation of the cancellation.

I am sorry that there was delay with the delivery, but thank you for sharing your shopping experience with us.

Great boots, dreadful customer service process

I ordered a pair of boots, size 6 as per your website recommendation, they were far too big. Arranged an exchange for a size 5 and returned the 6’s via your Yodel returns on 24/9/24 and they are still not showing as received on your website despite Yodels tracking saying they are back with you. Your customer service telephone line says your office is closed (even though on your website it says Mon-Fri 8 till 4pm) and can’t find an email address to contact you on, only a frustrating list of faq’s none of which answer my question.
Please can you advise when my replacement pair of size 5 boots will be dispatched as currently I’m £146 out of pocket and am unable to speak to your company about this!

Didn’t get what I ordered And looks counterfeit

Didn’t get what I ordered absolute terrible quality. To be honest I would even say it was a fake counterfeit. I will not be buying off these again that’s for sure.

After reading the response this review was updated.
The reason that I feel this was a counterfeit item is nothing like this matches on their website. The quality was absolutely awful which leads me to think it might be counterfeit. Like I mentioned earlier not what I ordered. So was very bad quality. The stitching and the leather didn’t seem to match what I was expecting from a Jack Jones boot. And certainly nothing like the quality matched on the website.

I was a bit sceptical about this company looking at some recent reviews. However I can honestly say I have had only 5 star service from this company. I received my order earlier than expected and the shoes are just amazing. Thank you so much for a very pleasant experience.

Wouldn’t use this company again.

Needed a specific item for my son, was looking for fastest delivery options. Got sucked in by the “next day delivery” but upon checkout (on the 1st) it said delivery between 6th - 9th. Today (9th), I get a despatch email saying between 11th-12th and it’s international! Potentially nearly 2 weeks delivery for a pencil case. Looking at other reviews it seems to be quite a dishonest company who cannot fulfil their promises. Really not impressed and wouldn’t use the company again.

Hello,

I'm Marie, Quality Manager at Rubbersole.co.uk.

I'm sorry to hear that your order will not be delivered within the agreed timeframe.

We strive to make every customer experience a satisfying one, and we do our utmost to strictly honour our commitments.

Therefore, on behalf of the entire Spartoo.com team, I would like to apologize for this delay in delivery, which I can assure you does not correspond at all to the service usually provided by our delivery service providers.

I am aware of the inconvenience caused by this malfunction, and I have just passed on your comments to our transport department so that corrective measures can be taken.

On Rubbersole, we use 2 warehouses; one is located in the UK (Peterborough) and the other one in France (our central warehouse). Unfortunately, the option for Express delivery will only be available at the checkout if the order is coming from our UK warehouse. There are no options for Express delivery for our French warehouse.

We hope that you will not hold this incident against us and that we will be able to continue our business relationship.

Quick delivery

Quick delivery, no issues whatsoever!

I don’t leave reviews very often but felt I had to. Before I have placed an order with rubbersole I read the reviews here and I am pleased to say that no one of the negative reviews happened to me.
My order came within the dates stated on the website , I have been kept informed via emails about my order since the purchase and my shoes are exactly how they looked on the website ! So don’t hesitate in ordering through this site , I would be defo using them again.

Rubbersole Stepped Up

Rubbersole seems to receive mixed reviews, but my experience with the company was excellent.

I placed two orders for shoes and boots almost exactly a year apart.

Both experiences were identical: trouble-free and efficient.

On both occasions they delivered my order on the exact date they promised and sent me several messages about the progress of my delivery in advance.

They also honoured an old discount on my account from the year before which was about to expire within days.

I had to change my address online with Rubbersole because the previous delivery was to a relative's address where I was staying temporarily.

This obviously had the potential for a mix-up, but it was a smooth process as the second delivery came to my home address as I wanted.

So, I was delighted and completely satisfied with Rubbersole, and will definitely order with them again. Well done!
