Ankle boots

Shoes arrived quickly once ordered. I had to return one pair that didn't fit. Customer service was quick and pleasant in their response, and the free return process was fairly straight forward.

Poor quality

Poor quality, unsuitable product.

I bought a pair of boots in spring from Carl Scarpa which cost £200, and within 6 months were completely unwearable due to the leather giving out.

Despite the brilliant efforts of the manager(?) I spoke to at the Cheltenham store to get these shoes repaired or replaced, nothing could be done to repair the shoes and head office refused to replace them.

It's unclear to me how a luxury brand like Carl Scarpa could find it acceptable for 6 months of casual wear to completely ruin a pair of £200 shoes, and even more bizarre that they have chosen not to reply to the two emails I sent to their info@... email address trying to get any answer at all about where my boots had gone after they were taken in.

I echo other comments I've since seen online that the quality of these shoes is far poorer than the price point they're being sold at - despite all their advertising online stating high quality. I bought my replacement boots for less from Lanx, and can't commend the quality highly enough - try them instead!

Reply from Carl Scarpa

Hi Emma,

We’re very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience and that your boots did not perform as expected. This is never the outcome we want for our customers.

Our Cheltenham team worked hard to find a solution, and we did send your boots to three of our trusted cobblers for assessment.

Unfortunately, each specialist returned the same conclusion. They found that the natural inward slope of your feet had caused the heel to collapse, which in turn led to the leather splitting. They also advised that, even if repaired, this issue would be very likely to recur. For this reason, a long-lasting or durable repair was not possible, particularly given the extensive use the boots had received over the six month period.

We also sincerely apologise that you did not receive a response from the email address you used. The email you contacted (info@carlscarpa.com) is not in use, which is why your messages went unanswered. For any future queries, please reach us at online@carlscarpa.com, where we will be happy to assist.

We appreciate your feedback and are sorry we weren’t able to provide the resolution you were hoping for.

Best Regards,

Michael
