I love the look of Blowfish sneakers

I love the look of Blowfish sneakers - they remind me of a pair I had when I was a kid with no laces. But they are not gentle on my feet. My feet hurt so much at the end of day I am just hobbling around. And I have developed a hammer toe and bunion on my left foot. My big toe leans behind the toe next to it now. I spent so much money on buying different colors and patterns and now they are all sitting in a storage bin. I will end up selling them or giving them away. What a waste of money.

So disappointed, I feel cheated out of £70.

I have bought blowfish shoes in the past and loved them as the cork soles gave so much comfortable cushioning. As I loved them so much when they finally wore out I just bought a new almost identical-looking pair, but my feet were bleeding from the straps the first time after I wore them. I thought oh i just need to wait till they soften a bit, but after barely a week they are still so painful to wear and today I discovered the soles are faux-cork! They are made to look very like cork, but are instead inflexible plastic. They are so uncomfortable I am going to have to throw them away after just 10 days. They were over £70. I feel totally misled by the faux-cork, and honestly don't think I will ever buy a pair of shoes this brand ever again.

Quality is no longer decent - avoid!

I had a pair of these sandals that lasted over a decade and a lot of travelling. However they were real leather, which is no longer the case anymore. These vegan-friendly ones didn't even last two whole summers before one of the thongs broke and the plastic faux leather started peeling. Truly dreadful quality at a price point you'd expect better. All good if you want cater to a particular group but why not keep quality leather versions available to those who aren't vegan?! Will not be buying from this brand again. Will be buying from a company that's uses decent high quality material, and doesn't neglect some customers for the sake of others.

Beware the farting noises!

I bought a pair of Blowfish Malibu Monti sandals (from Shu) for my holiday earlier in the month and as others have stated, they make a loud 'farting' noise when I walk.

Honestly, it's embarrassing!

It didn't happen in the shop when I tried them on but now happens with every step I take. Whether outside in the heat or in a room with AC. I have to 'pardon my shoes' when I am with people.
They look cute but have only given 2 stars because I can't walk anywhere without sounding like I have significant digestive issues.
I wouldn't have purchased had I realised and sadly, I wouldn't buy from Blowfish again

Very comfortable but no longevity

Very comfortable but no longevity. Bought the 'rhodan lace biker boots' only 7 months ago and the sole/base of them recently ripped in two! Completely unfixable. A real shame as I loved wearing them

🐟BLOWFISH MALIBU SHOES!💫WOW

🐟BLOWFISH MALIBU SHOES!💫WOW! I am surprised at the bad reviews!Thankfully my experience has been the opposite of that! I have about 15 pairs of the canvas shoes they sell in different colors&styles;the slip ons with a little zipper on front side,some u tie,the ones that have lace holes w/no laces,the canvas bootie with side zipper,slip ons, one with elastic straight across & one cisscrossed & they've all been worn alot walking the dog,yard work or whatever & I still LOVE them. I get them from SHOESHOW MEGA so I don't know if that makes a difference. I get my normal size 9 but sometimes too small but shoestretcher takes care of that & doesn't damage the shoe. They do have arch support but I add more in all my shoes. They do come new with some slippy kind of felt on the sole but it wears off fast & almost all canvas shoes have that now. Obviously the bad reviews are real issues people had but my honest opinion with mine(all 15)which are all the canvas slip ons,tie,or zip I have(&still do)loved 💕these shoes. Well atleast everyone agrees that they are super cute!😇

Don’t waste your money!!!

Don’t waste your money!!!
I purchased some Blowfish pumps, loved the look of them and the colour.
Wore them six times and both side heels came away.
I wish I could attach a picture.
I wish I had read reviews before wasting my money.
I have emailed Blowfish with no reply after two weeks, they must have a back log of complaints to deal with.

BE AWARE DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!

I wish I had not wasted my money

I wish I had not wasted my money! The zip up boots are exactly what I was looking for but the zipper on the split right away, I returned them for an exchange thinking it was just that pair, got a few more wears on the second pair then the zipper split again. I guess I should have read reviews before buying

It’s a scam guys

It’s a scam guys. I bought shoes and a crappy pair of sunnies was delivered. Then they said they would only refund if I sent the sunnies back. SCAMMERS

Very very disappointed in the blowfish…

Very very disappointed in the blowfish womens firefly boots. I tried on a size UK 8 it felt like a 6. After 5 minutes of walking indoors I took them off as they were extremely uncomfortable, my skin on my ankles was torn off. Its been a week and I'm still suffering from bleeding, pain and puds expelling from the ripped skin. I have never been through anything like this ever in my life.

A Fart in Every Foostep

The shoes are functional, and some of them are cute. That's where it ends. While they may be comfortable, they are entirely too narrow, so if you have wide feet then forget about it. My feet aren't even wide, they are regular and the shoes are too narrow. I did not realize this until after I purchased them.

I also feel that the catchphrase for these shoes should be:

" A fart in every footstep!"
For whatever reason, the synthetic material these shoes are made out of will not allow the foot to sweat. When the foot begins to sweat, the action of walking creates a fart sound. In 98% of the steps I take, my feet are farting.

I'm only wearing them because they are the only things I currently own.

Winter boots-big no

Bought a new pair of winter boots in Jan'23. Looked good and sturdy enough. BUT within a few mins of wearing them I realised that these are super low quality. Winter thick soles were really slippery and while walking, it felt like my feet are floating from left to right, back to front. No support at all. So really ouch. Insoles came apart after 2 weeks and exposed the rubber soles and pins inside. "Leather" cracked straight away...so for £100 I was expecting a tiny bit more. Not going to buy from them again. AVOID

Do not waste your money

I bought Blowfish Womens Frittata Slippers ‘Seamushroom Tie Dye’ and they are the most uncomfortable footwear I’ve ever worn, it’s like wearing 2 bricks on my feet

Buyer beware - short wear life

I bought these Blowfish Malibu shoes over the 4th of July on vacation. I LOVED them (that’s the ONLY reason this isn’t one star). They were comfortable and super cute. A couple of days before Christmas I realized that they had completely come apart at the heel on both shoes. That’s barely 5 months of wear - and not even every day wear. Truly disappointed. I wish it would let me attach pictures so I could share the damage here. I would’ve purchased more (thinking it was a fluke) but after reading how many people have had similar experiences I won’t be purchasing anymore shoes from this company. Buyer beware. 😒😤

I bought what I thought was a lovely…

I bought what I thought was a lovely pair of brown blowfish boots in January 2022. I didn’t wear them through the spring and summer months. I’ve been wearing them off and on since late September. I’m very disappointed that the brown material over the toes has peeled off on both boots. Very disappointed with the quality and would not recommend blowfish. They look nice but they haven’t even lasted 5 months wear. Had to bin them!

So Hurt and Disappointed

So hurt and disappointed!! I purchased 2 pairs on July 29, 2022 and 4 months later the soles are Rotting out! I have holes in the soles. I have never in my life ever had shoes to do this! The company needs to refund my money. I am so hurt and highly disappointed! I will never buy a pair of shoes from blowfish again nor will I recommend them to any one! I want everyone to know my name is Gwen Turner and buyer beware! I still pray that this company will do right by all of us, and give us refunds!

Waste of money

Bought my Blowfish Malibu boots and I was so happy with them. At the time really looked great and comfortable. Not a cheap pair of boots.
Unfortunately, 9 months after purchase and wearing them as casual use they are pretty much no good. The vegan material cover has just peeled away and the support of the ankles has diminished. The boots are coming away from the heels also.
Extremely unsatisfied. Boots of this cost should last years not months. Sadly, I do not think I will be buying from blowfish again.
