Shoes color is peeling off

I bought a pair of rub-off colored shoes last month and the part on the leather at the tongue is falling apart and peeling off. I'd already bought a pair last year and the sole had cracked.

I thought I was buying quality shoes, but I'm really disappointed and you should think twice before ordering because of the poor quality control.

Hello Charles, Thank you for your review, and we are sorry to note that you have not been satisfied with your footwear. We would, of course, be more than happy to assist and would urge you to contact our Customer Service Team at help@nps-shoes.com with some images of the peeling, and indeed details of the sole split. I am more than confident we can bring this matter to a satisfactory conclusion and turn your negative experience into a positive.

Kind regards

This was my 1st experience and it was great! I ordered the wrong size and went through the exchange steps. This resulted in real person email contact with Karen. Her communication was very clear and immediate each time I emailed her. She quickly altered my request for a half size change to a full size when I asked. When I inquired about adding a container of cream to my exchange she just threw it in for no charge. She did not wait until receiving my return before shipping out my replacement pair, as is the written policy. I received my exchange in just days to the midwest USA. In the end, I ordered the first pair, exchanged them, and had the new pair on my feet in barely over a week's time. I've been very impressed with the whole experience and very grateful to Karen for such efficient and personal customer service. Thank you!

Simply amazing quality

Simply amazing quality. Right out of the box, you can tell that the leather is far superior that another famous brand, which has crappy, hard-to-break-in leather. On feet, they were nothing short of exceptional, too.

Amazing shoes/boots in all sizes.

Absolutely amazing boots in sizes that are actually available in my size. I wear a UK 14, and it has been a nightmare trying to find boots my size. I have been on a competitors mailing list for over 1.5 years, for stock alerts of my size, to which I have heard nothing. Solovair readily stock many different types of boots and shoes in my size, for a good price with good quality.

After some years of wearing Doc Marten…

After some years of wearing Doc Marten boots, and finding lots of issues with them, I decided to switch to Solovair. The boots are extremely well made, look fantastic and are very comfortable. The leather is dyed unlike the awful coating that DM use.
Unfortunately one of my boots has developed a crack in the sole, and after raising the issue with Solovair, they rectified everything immediately with a replacement pair. I cannot fault their customer service and prompt solution they provided. Would highly recommend their products, especially considering the flawless after sales service.

Definitely recommend

Great quality shoes, very durable. As a bonus you get remarkable client support and express delivery (at least to Poland), I'm truly impressed.

Disappointed by poor quality construction

I purchased a pair of Dealer Boots in October 2023 and am disappointed that after less than 12 months of moderate wear, the inside of the heel on both shoes has broken down to the extent they are unwearable.

The sole and rest of the upper are in good condition showing they have not been heavily worn.

It is obvious that the problem is the very soft and fragile leather material of the inside of the boot, which is thin and not durable.

I am highly disappointed that a pair of boots that otherwise could do many more years of wear are now unusable.

My new boots have just arrived…they are so nice.
Fit perfect and look amazing.
I think this will be my new place to buy footwear….
I have Dr Martens, but these feel so much better & the quality is so much better also.

The boots are very well made to a high quality & standard, best of all British made.

Thank you solovair.

Good shoes, Split soles, little support

The shoes I bought were a big special purchase for myself and I was really looking forward to them. The quality of the leather is high but after wearing them for 7 nonconsecutive times the sole split down the side of the left shoe.

Upon emailing the company, I was told to give them cobbler who would fix them and I could send them a receipt for it to refund. Honestly compared to other companies in the same price bracket, they would have offered to resole or replace the shoes, it had been 2 days past the one month warranty that I sent the email.

Make sure if you are buying from this brand to know that faults like this, are according to the language of the email they sent, not uncommon.

Everything else including the promptness of their emails was good, and the leather and everything else apart from the soles were good.

Excellent quality and genuine care makes Solovair!

This Company far exceeds excellence. To have a company genuinely care about their customers is a rarity. Solovair I give you 5 stars and beyond for the quality products you deliver and the excellent customer service I always receive. You go way beyond most companies and I thank you for the care you have given me.
Quality products and genuine care make solovair!!!!

Bad quality, worse customer service.

Correction 24.12.2024: After their below comment I received a super quick reply and refund of the cobbler cost for fixing the shoe. Thank you!

-----------

Not even wearing the shoe for a week and the flap ripped off. I suppose this can happen (although it should not for a 220€ boot) but not even receiving a reply from their customer service is beyond disappointing. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend.

Hello Johannes, I am sorry that you have felt that your experience with us has been unsatisfactory. Our system confirms that you did contact us on the 6 December with regard to the Pull Tab coming away from the boot. On the same day our customer service representative responded to you apologising and offering to either get the boots back to the factory for a repair or suggesting that you take them to a cobbler for efficiency, and offering to refund any cost incurred. If the email is not sitting in your inbox please refer to your junk/spam. Our position has not changed and we are still willing to assist where we can so please do come back to us. We would be very grateful if you could amend the review also given the circumstances.

Kind regards
NPS/Solovair customer service team.

Had to do a last minute exchange as I missed the returns label email in my junk inbox. Viv in the costumer service team was brilliant she not only advised me to put in a new order so the gift would arrive by Christmas but also went out of her way to make sure it was in the couriers hand same day! She processed my return same day and gave me a barcode so I didn't have to go searching for a printer. Honestly one of the most postive costumer service experiences I've ever had. Takes special kind of team to care as much as they did to help like this! Will definitely be buying from here again.

wonderful customer service!

i have had some sizing issues and shipping back and forth from the US to the UK was a challenge, but solovair made the process incredibly simple (and FAST). Viv was incredibly helpful and understanding, as i wanted an exchange instead of a straight return for a different pair of boots. she took care of it swiftly and simply. very much appreciated!

I bought a pair of boots back in May 2024 and have been thoroughly impressed with the comfort, look and durability of these!

Absolutely worth the slightly more expensive price point. They have dissapointingly split on the sides of one of the soles, but I am going to put this down to me not being careful and lazy with how I take them off. Lesson learnt! Otherwise the wear after several hard months is almost none.

They sell replacement soles and fixing the boots was trivial.

Would definitely recommend to those who want footwear that is robust and reliable.
