Floating on Air

Fantastic customer service and the sneakers were exactly what I had envisaged. And extremely comfortable. No reservation whatsoever in recommending Diverge for customised footwear.

Flawless Exchange

I needed to exchange for a smaller size. I was pleased with how fast the new pair was delivered. Beautiful sneakers and awesome customer service.

Quality Sneakers and Quality service!

I ordered some sneakers in late 2021 for my birthday and unfortunately they were one size too big. Although these are custom made, DiVERGE we’re more than happy to exchange them for the right size. Down to my personal logistical circumstances, the exchange was protracted over a period of time, but the guys at DiVERGE stuck with me and now I have my new shoes. I can’t thank them enough.

Not pleased with these shoes

thanks for the opportunity to give feedback. I just received my second par of Diverge shoes. I really loved my first pair (white). But this pair, does not seem to be assembled with the same quality at all. The back suede panel (on the heel of the shoe), with the logo mark, is coming off already on both shoes. it is like it was not assembled correctly and I am trying to fugure out if I have to glue that that piece of suede on. Additionally, the top elastic loop on these shoes is so tight I have to struggle each tie I wear them to get the shoes lace through that top piece of elastic. this is not the case with my first pair. My concern is that over time it will cause the casing of the shoelace tip to wear off, which would make it virtual impossible to get the shoelace through the elastic at that point. Lastly, these shoes squeak something awful when I walk. This did not happen with the first pair either. They are very loud when I walk around in them all day. All in All, I am not pleased with these at all.

Love Love Love!

I am genuinely obsessed with these shoes. I now own two pairs and every time I wear either out, I get so many 'Great shoes, man. What brand are they?'. Quality is great. They look super hip and the international delivery very seamless. Worth the investment for sure.

Hi Constança! Thank you for your review.

Would you mind getting in contact with our Customer Service so we can assist you with the issues you are mentioning? If you are experiencing some tightness in the heel, it might be because the sneaker is too small, for example. Regarding the colour, we are quite proud of what we offer and try hard to make it match our website. However, if you were not satisfied, we do offer free exchanges and returns. We want to make sure our Customers have a good experience with us and, if you are kind enough to reach our Customer Service, we will work hard to achieve the same end result with you.

Hi Constança,

Thank you!

Bad design to print colors and bad customer service

I am a heavy user of custom fab shoes since 8 years ago. My user experience has been always amazing with other brands.
Unfortunately this is not the case for Diverge. I ordered a pair of customized shoes. My first surprise was the huge difference between the web colors and the real ones.
Website: RGB: 179/76/70 = #B34C46 (geranium dark)
Real product: RGB: 201/78/84 = #C94E54 (fucsia)
This is not just a question of lightning ...

The second surprise, was the total lack of customer empathy. After several emails asking for an answer, any useful action was taken by Diverge except repeating the same thing. Quite bad strategy for a new player in this market.

After several interactions I have been refunded.

Hi David,

Thank you for your review. We are sorry you have had a poor experience with us.

You have reached out to us with a colour issue and we have tried to explain you that the canvas your sneakers you have co-created and received is in fact geranium as you requested. That is the colour our supplier has attributed the material and our Creative Director, responsible for choosing all the materials we used, validated as it is within the range of the colour designated by geranium.

As we would like to keep improving, we would like to understand how to show more empathy. We tried to reply to every question and query you made and we did it politely and carefully. We consulted with our Creative Director, who helped in the feedback we provided (she is available to speak to you on the phone if you wish to explain our position). While colours might change depending on the lighting conditions, we do maintain that the correct designation for the colour you have received is geranium.
If you are not pleased with the outcome despite this, that is a different issue and one we can address. We offer free exchanges and returns to all our customers (if the sneakers have not been worn) because we usually get satisfied customers that really like what they get. Given that was not the case with you, we are open to it if you wish. Our last email to you was from three days ago and we did not get a reply nor an indication of what you wanted to do.

We will contact you through email with this text as well but please let us know how you would like to proceed and how we can improve your experience. We stand by our quality and we try our hardest to satisfy our customers and we will do so with you.

All the best!

Hi David,

We are now replying to the edit of your review.

We seem to have upset you and must once again apologise as we do not mean to disregard your opinion. You are entitled to not like what you have received and it would have been easier for us to just agree with you and sort things out. However, we did send you the sneaker with the materials you requested and - in our opinion - with the correct colour designations and hence providing a good service in line with what is in our website. Once again, our Creative Director is available and will gladly call you to explain our view.

Now that you have requested for a return (in an email that we have just received), we will gladly accept it and move forward with the refund - totally free of charge.

Thank you!

Hi David,

We hope you are doing well. We have been trying to reach you to make sure you have received your money back. Can you confirm that you have received it?

Thank you!

Hi David,

We are reaching out again here in Trustpilot because we have not been able to reach you through your email.

Thank you!

Hi David,

Thank you for the feedback about your refund.

We appreciate your feedback throughout this process. We will trying to improve.

Took some time to get comfortable, but still worth it

The first impression was: amazed by the quality of the sneakers (texture, color, details).

After that, I was not expecting the feeling when I put them on. Your sneakers feel more like a shoe rather than typical comfortable sneakers. The first 10 times I used them, they hurt a lot (especially in the heel) because they were too hard.

As I am writing this review, I am 100% satisfied with the sneakers. My feet have adapted to them (or the sneakers have adapted do my feet). As long as I lace them properly, they do not hurt and actually have a very solid feel when I put them on.

To sum up: it takes time to be comfortable in the shoes, but once you do, they are a charm. Regarding all the rest: great design, great materials, and great concept (no stocks, custom-made).

Buy, Buy, Buy!!

Buy, Buy, Buy!!

My first order was a Christmas present for my best friend who adored them and her husband then ordered a pair.

Of course I had to have a pair and I love them.

I also really appreciate what seems to be a lovely company to deal with. Customer service are charming and the presentation is beautiful, although I know what’s in the box it is like receiving a special gift.

I look forward to many purchases.

Great product, awesome costumer service

I ordered a pair of Diverge Sneakers to offer my son. He told me the size. then i receive an email asking to confirm the size. I told Diverge that he already purchased a pair last some months ago, so the size should be the same. They went to check his previous order and discover it should be another size.
This is GREAT costumer service!!!!
Not only the product is great, but the costumer service is AWESOME!

As beautiful as expected!

I am delighted with my new pair of sneakers. They are as beautiful as expected and they are very comfortable to wear. A truly remarkable job! I am already looking forward to receiving a new pair.

Having the possibility to design my very own pair of shoes was a unique experience.

Thank you so much!

Fine craftsmanship

The shoes fit perfectly. I’m glad Diverge sent their recommendation for what size I should order (I would have ordered too small). The shoes are skillfully made using fine leather.

Styliest shoes I ever did wear…

The shoes turned up and I was like a kid in a sweet shop when unwrapping, and absolutely love them! Real happy wit the design but more so that they are so well made. Love them!!
If I had to pick any slight negative, it would be that the inner soles are quite firm, could do with being softer, but I’m not going on a ramble in these beauties anyway.
Enjoy!
