Excellent quality leather boots and fantastic that they come in UK size men's 13. There are fewer and fewer manufacturers offering sizes over UK12. The side zip makes it so much quicker to put on/tak... See more

High class jacket thank you

High class jacket thank you. It's always a risk purchasing clothes on the internet. I have previously bought Oliver Sweeney shoes, so I was quietly confident that the clothes would be of equally high standard. I wasn't disappointed.

Going beyond the call of duty

I have used Oliver Sweeney for shoes and boots for more years than I care to remember and recently I started buying some quality clothing from the company. My experience has been great throughout!
But the main reason for my review is a shout out to Sarah, who has just helped me with stock query etc. She has this morning reminded me what good service looks like. I believe people buy from people and people like Sarah are worth their weight in GOLD. Thank you Oliver Sweeney and more importantly Sarah for going beyond to yet further enhance my loyalty to the Oliver Sweeney brand. Thanks again

Mixed feelings about Oliver Sweeney

Mixed feelings about Oliver Sweeney. While the styles are appealing and some customer service staff go above and beyond, quality control seems inconsistent. A £100 pair of shoes had durability issues after one wear, with disappointing responses to complaints. Still, there are instances of excellent assistance, depending on the staff member handling inquiries.

Environmentally criminal

Not sure where they bought my details from but they send unsolicited junk mail, disgusting behaviour and so wasteful.

Got a reply and as per usual with these unscrupulous companies they expect me to jump through hoops to stop them causing more harm to the environment.

The company has replied, after asking for my details, the still expect me to jump though hoops to stop this pointless junk mail being sent out. Claiming the catalog is recyclable is a sad attempt to hide the cost to the environment. The damage done by printing, shipping and the recycling process is permanent.

Always impressed with the Sweeney products.... pure excellence in clothing and footwear..... not massively expensive but good value for monies paid.

Ridian’s customer service is superb

Ridian’s customer service is superb. When I had a problem with an order he went out of his way to resolve it, calling me personally to check if I was happy with the solution. Five stars in every way.

Thank you!

Oliver Sweeney products and service.

I’ve brought several pairs of shoes from Oliver Sweeney over the years and all I can say is there customer service is the best I’ve ever encountered.
There products are some of the best shoes / trainers I’ve ever owned, quality, comfortable , stylish and extremely very hard wearing.
I returned a pair recently as they were slightly to tight but once again there customer care was there instantly with a link to download the returns label.
I can’t praise them enough, ive had OS shoes for many years and many more years to come.
Thank you.

Shoe Defect (possible false advertising)

I ordered the Adige Khaki shoes after seeing my friend with them and being very impressed! They were on sale and a reasonable price for the great shoe I’d seen.

Sadly, mine arrived last week with a sizeable split in the sole on both shoes with it more pronounced on one. This is either a defect or even more concerning: false advertising, as the images online for this item seem to have digitally smoothed the area of the split.

I have contacted Oliver Sweeney’s customer support by email and by phone (although I was unable to get through to them as many on here have pointed out). I await their response.

I am not impressed by this build quality and hope they rectify this.

Reply from Oliver Sweeney

Apologies for the issues – the welt is a single strip of leather encircling the shoe and will have a join on the inside quarter – at the least visible part of the shoe. There is an inevitable degree of variation from shoe to shoe and the join was indeed a little wider than the norm. As the boot was unfortunately the last pair in the business, we have been unable to send a replacement, but are confident that the join will not affect the wear and trust that the discount offered to keep the boots is satisfactory.

Wrong shoes delivered!

Ordered a pair of brown shoes, delivery was quick but wrong shoes arrived. I’ve sent an email, tried to contact customer services by phone (keep getting answer machine) but no response. Tried following their refund/return process but surprisingly this does not work either. Quality shoes they may be but customer services are very disappointing!

Sincere apologies for receiving the incorrect item in your recent order. This is a rare occurrence, but of course should not happen. The couriers unfortunately do not collect from our warehouse over the weekend, but our team did prioritise the replacement to be sent on Monday for Tuesday delivery. Again apologies and thank you for your patience.

Excellent quality, very good value

Very impressed with the quality of these shoes. I was initially reluctant to buy shoes online without trying on in store first, however, these shoes are a perfect fit.

In my view, they are equal in quality to Cheaney & Crockett - for the price I am very, very impressed and will certainly return for more
