Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 108 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers frequently complain about poor delivery services, unexpected shipping delays, and missing parcels that never seem to arrive safely at their home. Furthermore, consumers struggle constantly with unhelpful customer support agents and experience frustratingly long waiting periods when attempting to secure refunds for damaged or returned goods. Some reviewers were happy with their purchases, noting that online orders arrived very quickly and items were delivered in pristine condition. A few buyers also experienced completely smooth transactions, helpful delivery updates, and reliable tracking information that made the overall shopping process much easier.

Avoid

To keep it short, I purchased a pair of shoes that didn't fit, so I returned them. I then packaged it up with the provided label, however, the label didn't work in the DHL shop. I contacted up, and they said the only alternative was UPS. Not only was I several miles from home without access to a printer, but there were no UPS shops nearby, and I was already going out for the rest of the evening, so I had to post the shoes there and then. As such, I had to resort to paying out of my own pocket to ship them. I picked DHL as it is a partner of Foot Locker, but despite this they outright refused to reimburse me for any shipping and wouldn't escalate the matter to a manager.

Con artist selling counterfeit goods

1 make sure when sending a 189.99 pair of trainers that one of your crusty staff team members don't try them on and crease the shoe before the person buying the product has even got it.
2 They are also fake jordan retro 11s.
3 make sure you have plenty of people to answer emails straight away to fix issues.
4 before sending the product out make sure there are no imperfections what so ever

Footlocker sold me counterfeit UGG boots and are ignoring my return!

Tried to return a pair of UGG boots that were very clearly counterfeit and they denied having ever received the return for 3 weeks and then they were randomly delivered back to me via a different courier, in a different box with my receipts and paperwork removed (sender was still footlocker). Have now sent them proof that they are counterfeit and they are ignoring my emails. I suspect that they were a customer return or something and they've been switched out rather than footlocker actively selling counterfeit items, but the blatant disregard from them is an atrocity. I'm reporting this to trading standards and action fraud and have also spoken with UGG directly as this also reflects badly on them. I have given footlocker ample opportunity to resolve this, but they ignore each and every communication from me. Shocking company

Absolutely shocking customer service!!

Absolutely shocking customer service!!! Sent trainers back as they were too small. It took weeks to have a conversation with them via email. Several of my emails were ignored. Refused to give me a refund as they were returned by Evri instead of DHL. I had tracking number plus proof they had been returned yet I am now out of pocket over £120.

Terrible customer service

REF: 31900440207990407232

Terrible customer service.
Item not received.

They request a form to be printed and filled out.
Have sent it three times, now, as they keep saying they have not received the email.

Lack of competence, terrible support. Avoid this company.

Have escalated to Paypal.

Terrible experience. Incompetence

Terrible in-store experience last December. Rushed through and the wrong sized item packed. Customer services stated they could not support store issues and not able to rectify. Ridiculous. Don't they represent the brand as a whole? No local store. Tried to organise a return and refund, so we could purchase again. Asked Footlocker to send postage label. Should be an easy solution. Nothing. Now they have radio silenced me. Tried to raise and escalate a complaint. Again, nothing. Absolutely disgusting communication. No surprise they lose custom and get such poor reviews. Wake up Footlocker! Seriously, what are you doing??? Currently you are truly awful. My recommendations are Do Not Use. Shop elsewhere.

Scammed out of shoes

I ordered shoes from Footlocker UK and have been scammed. Someone clearly cut open my box, took the shoes out and replaced it with a cheap key ring that they also sell. It was set up to look as though I was shipped the wrong order, as the scammer even inserted a fake invoice/receipt into the box. I only learned it was fake when I called footlocker and they said that the order number on the invoice didn’t exist.

Accidents happen of course. So I provided them photo evidence of it all, they admitted something went wrong. However weeks later, they are still making me jump through hoops to get my refund.

Can’t believe a company of this size is not issuing a refund promptly. I have decided to go through my credit card in hopes of getting my money back.

Do NOT purchase anything from this company.

Got scammed by footlocker save your money

My friend ordered a pair of trainers from here and had to send them back as they was the wrong size. We sent them back and still didn’t hear anything after over 30 days so I finally contacted dhl who confirmed the trainers had arrived back. I rang footlocker and they have accused us of, quoting “sending back a hot water bottle and on the second attempt to open the parcel it was an empty carton” this doesn’t even make sense how can you attempt to open a parcel twice and it have 2 different items in it! I have all my evidence of emails and phone calls and will be contacting trading standards. Footlocker are refusing to reopen the case. Clearpay are just as incompetent refusing to give us a refund for the late payment fees even though I have proven we sent those trainers back.

Shoes falling apart after 4 months of minimal wear. Supposed to be a 2 year guarantee but try getting them to honour that! Took the shoes back to a store and was informed that they couldn't do anything as the manager wasn't working that day.
Sent them photos clearly showing the problems, they said they couldn't see it when it is very clear.

Worst Experience Ever!!!!

I have spent £1000s online for trainers for myself and my two boys and every time there is a problem!!!! My most recent order I received an email from Footlocker saying “as per MY request part of my order was cancelled!” First of all I NEVER requested a cancellation and secondly after an hour on hold got someone who barely spoke English and was told it’s maybe because it was out of stock! When I placed the order there were still SEVERAL SIZES listed as being IN STOCK!!! Never ever again will I order from Footlocker!!!!! I’m absolutely appalled at the lack of competence and lack of customer service!! Footlocker lost a long standing very loyal customer today!!!!!

Incompetant - Inept - Worst online experience ever!

Ordered a pair of Nike shorts and a T Shirt on the 8th of December anticipating pre Christmas delivery. A week before Christmas they advised that the shorts not available due to a supplier issue - really! why list as in stock if your only going to order when I do. I reluctantly agreed a substitute.............and waited. 2nd week January they advise T shirt shipped but shorts cancelled and refunded as the sub also had a supplier issue! Useless and given the high cost of postage for just one item wont ever be ordering again - steer clear!!

Poor communication

Poor communication. I ordered a pair of trainers in two sizes which arrived a week apart. As I was keeping the first pair I returned the second pair immediately via DHL as advised. I wasn’t given a tracking number when returning and have had no email or text messages to acknowledge the refund is being dealt with. I have contacted both footlocker and DHL to see the status of my return. Footlocker say they can’t do anything and I have to contact DHL, DHL are impossible to speak to and haven’t replied to my email. The trainers are great and at a great price in the sale but I wouldn’t have ordered them if I was aware how poor their choice of couriers are and that footlocker wont keep you updated on any stage of the process. I am still awaiting the refund but I am getting increasingly worried that I won’t receive one. This purchase was on behalf of my daughter buying out of her Christmas money and I can’t afford to lose money on the second pair.

Super quick!

Seems to go against the grain but I bought my girlfriend some SL72s as a last minute present at half price on 23rd December 5pm. They were with me by midday, with free postage, the next day!

Had a negative experience in store

Had a negative experience in store, and then liaised with the customer service to action a refund. They requested some information from me and i provided that promptly. Since then I have received no correspondence from them and it’s been over a week, and even got chased for a response, even though I already provided one to them. Keep in mind the shoes cost me nearly £200
