Found naturcontact via social media

Found naturcontact via social media. Happy to say that the shoes are of a lovely quality and really comfortable 😁 I ordered the wrong size initially but an exchange was straightforward and free of charge. Will definitely be using the site again

Great running shoe insoles

Great running shoe insoles, particularly for flat, zero drop barefoot shoes. Insoles don’t take much space but still relatively protective and very comfortable. A great slim layer to slightly improve fit and comfort if the shoes are too thin and you need a little extra thickness.

Defective product (holes in soles) and zero customer support

I purchased the Intemperia 2.0® Winter Barefoot Boots (Order #43864) in mid-February. While I liked the design initially, the quality is shockingly poor. After only a few months of standard use, both soles have developed huge, gaping holes, making them completely unusable in winter conditions.

Naturcontact claims to have a 12-month quality guarantee, but they are not honoring it. I emailed their support team with photos of the damage, and despite their automated system promising a response within 24-48 hours, it has been significantly longer with total radio silence.

It is deeply disappointing to pay for "winter" gear that doesn't even last one season. If you are looking for durable barefoot shoes and reliable customer service, look elsewhere. I am still waiting for a refund for this fundamentally defective product.

===============

Naturcontact responded by blaming my 'walking gait' for the holes in the soles and tried to charge me an extra £25 'warranty fee' to replace their defective shoes. I have now initiated a chargeback with my bank. Avoid this company if you value your money and consumer rights.

Hi Nimrod,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you experienced an issue with your Intemperia 2.0® boots.

All Naturcontact shoes are covered by our 12-month quality guarantee for manufacturing defects. However, as with any warranty process, we do need to review the case properly and inspect the product before confirming whether the issue is due to a manufacturing fault, accidental damage, wear pattern, or misuse.

Soles developing large holes after only a few months of normal use is highly unusual for this model. Because of that, we cannot automatically classify the issue as a defect without assessment, but we are absolutely willing to review the case and support you through the correct warranty procedure.

Regarding support response times, our team usually replies within 24-48 working hours, but delays can occasionally occur during busy periods or if additional checks are needed. If you have already emailed us with photos, please reply again with your order number in the subject line so our team can locate the case quickly and continue the review.

We do honor our warranty when a manufacturing defect is confirmed, but we also have to follow a fair inspection process before issuing a replacement, refund, or other resolution.

Kind regards,
The Naturcontact Team

I have extremely wide feet,so was somewhat apprehensive when ordering these shoes and went up a size. I really like the look of them and they are so comfortable to walk in. My only reason for not giving them 5 stars is that I've had to remove the insoles to achieve the depth I needed, plus I've only had them a couple of weeks, so unsure about how long they'll last. The shoes are not refundable, only exchangeable.

Great communication and help when I accidentally ordered the wrong size... Happy with my sandals now.
Docked a star as it's expensive to try out shoes when you have to pay postage both ways... I did get complimentary postage back this time but only as it was an exchange and the first time I'd done it

Rubbish returns process

Received these boots, but they did not fit properly.
I went online to effect a return, but I am still waiting. Most companies, have a clear returns policy, this company charges for the pleasure of choosing whether or not they will accept your return. Not happy.
Your response lacks care and empathy - I would NEVER shop with you again!

Hi, thank you for your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear the boots did not fit as expected. We’d like to clarify that return requests are normally reviewed within 24-48 hours. Your request was submitted yesterday around lunchtime, so it was still within our standard processing window.

That said, your return has already been approved, and we have sent you the return label. Our returns process is straightforward, and in this case everything has been handled within the expected timeframe.

We’re sorry you felt unhappy with the wait, but we hope this clarifies the situation.

Quality shoes

Slight delay on delivery of the honeycomb inserts but the prompt delivery & quality of the shoes more than made up for it. We have 6 pairs to date & very happy with these shoes

Extremely Happy Customer

Shoes delivered in a timely fashion. Shoes are a great fit and look good. Post delivery I had a query which was emailed to them. They responded very quickly and my query was resolved

Expensive, substandard footwear

Walking boots that were purchased in September 2025, came apart after 6 and a half months of standard wear. The company's response was "Unfortunately, after seven months of use, we are unable to determine how the shoes have been worn, maintained, or cared for during this period. Factors such as usage conditions, cleaning methods, and frequency of wear can significantly affect the lifespan of footwear."
Even after explaining that the boots are clearly substandard and not fit for purpose, while further informing them that because of my severe spinal arthritis, I am unable to walk far or over difficult terrain, they offered to extend my warranty for a charge.
These boots cost me £94 with delivery and I am incredibly disappointed with the quality and performance of the footwear. I refuse to pay more money for a faulty item and will not be purchasing from them again.

Dear Karen,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your boots.

As explained in our previous communication, the boots were purchased in September 2025 and the issue was reported after around six and a half to seven months of use. At that stage, it is unfortunately very difficult for us to determine how the footwear has been worn, maintained, cleaned, stored, or the conditions it has been exposed to. These factors can significantly affect the lifespan of any footwear, especially walking boots that may be subject to regular outdoor use.

Based on the time passed and the nature of the issue, this appeared very likely to be related to normal wear and tear rather than a confirmed manufacturing defect. Legally, we believe our position was reasonable. However, despite this, we still tried to find a positive solution and offered a warranty support option as a gesture of goodwill.

We understand that this was not the outcome you wanted, but you chose not to proceed with the option offered. We are sorry that we could not reach a resolution that satisfied you, but we remain confident that we handled the matter fairly and in line with our policy.

Kind regards,
The Naturcontact Team

I returned the size that were too big for a size that fitted. I was surprised that there is a restocking fee! So it made sense to buy another pair of the style I was keeping but in another colour.
The exchange went well.
The restocking fee will make me more cautious of buying to try on as any shoes are so difficult to get right without trying on.
Fortunately I love the shoes and they are so comfortable.
