I love the shoes
I love the shoes. However I tried contacting your customer service with questions and never got a response. I like having some hints as to fit when I mail order. I’d like to get more shoes in the future but I hope I can get info from your customer service before I order next time.

Great leather and well made
Great leather and well made. Tight at first but molded well after first use. Did well even in the first fall of snow.

Style upgrade!
I have a few pairs of Clae sneakers and absolutely love them. Decided to upgrade my husband’s dress-sneaker game for his birthday. Great fit, great style. The brown suede is gorgeous and versatile.

The shoes are extremely comfortable
I recently ordered a pair of shoes from Clae online, and I’m genuinely impressed. The shoes are extremely comfortable, even for someone like me with wide feet — they fit perfectly without any tightness. The materials feel premium, the design is sleek, and the craftsmanship is top-notch. You can really tell that attention to detail went into every part of the shoe.
Highly recommend Clae for anyone looking for stylish, well-made, and comfortable footwear. I’ll definitely be ordering again!

I have purchased 4 Clae shoes never once did I get the 10 percent off now I order the cleaning products and never received them !!!

Reply from CLAE
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your feedback and for being a loyal CLAE customer.
Regarding your recent order for the cleaning products, our records show that the package was shipped and marked as delivered. We also shared the proof of delivery with you in November but did not receive a follow-up response afterward. Upon reviewing your delivery history, the photo confirmation appears consistent with the location of your previous successfully delivered order, which leads us to believe the package was received.
As for the 10% discount, we’re sorry for any confusion. Promotional offers are typically tied to specific sign-ups or limited campaigns, and we’d be happy to look into this further to clarify what may have happened.
Please feel free to reach out to us directly at support@clae.com so we can review everything together and ensure you’re fully taken care of.
Best regards,
The CLAE Team
