Avoid at all cost

Avoid at all cost. Their return policy is onerous and ridiculous. I wish I had read these reviews before. The shoes appear to be well made but if you order the wrong size and want to return it, the process is expensive and burdensome. They want you to write down the value of the shoes as $20 so it doesn’t get hung up in Customs in China.

I love their shoes but customer…

I love their shoes but customer services...
I bought two pairs 9,5 (usa) , one pair (Oxfords) are perfect for me, but other pair (Loafers) bigger like size 10 or 10,5 (usa) and I didn't about their return policy and customers has to pay any shipping expenses, for me was $47,50 from MA...
I said that is ridiculous, they respond: "You can send to our US warehouse but it's still will cost you $28"
And guys and future customers, don't buy it from them, your nerves cost more than this cheap company...

Oxfords and Loafers quality very good, but I just want to cry cuz I can't wear those pair of shoes!!!

Dear Lillia,

We apologise for any inconvenience caused. The loafer is big toe design, it suit wide feet.

According to our website's return policy,customers choosing international returns are responsible for paying their own international return processing fees.

The $28 USD returns processing fee (Includes warehousing fees, shipping costs to China, import duties, etc.)

Shoes are very special products, They have many colors, sizes and styles. And foot is different from each other. We hope customers choose the style and size carefully. If not, we will have so many returns and exchanges which will defeat us.

We are a shoes studio from China specializing in handmade leather shoes for women. Making shoes is a very hard work and the profit of handmade shoes is very small. And choosing the right shoe size is also not an easy task for customers. We have already covered the shipping cost for the delivery of the shoes. We are free shipping for exchange size too. For the long-term development of the studio and the website, the return and exchange policy we have formulated clarifies that Customers pay return shipping cost as a result of their own error (ex: wrong size, do not like). We will refund any return shipping cost if the return is a result of our error.

https://dwarvesshoes.com/pages/free-shipping-and-return-policies

We will always research and work hard to improve our return and exchange service, with the development of international logistics and the growth of our studio business, we believe that one day our return and exchange will be more convenient!

Hope to get your understanding.

Sooo Happy with my Dwarves!!!

Sooo Happy with my Dwarves! The customer service was excellent✨️ I messaged about getting a 1/2 size bigger after reading the reviews and it was no problem👌 8 would have fit but 8.5 allows me an insole/arch support👍✔️ I will definitely be ordering more dwarves now that I know and feel confident. Love that it's a female artisan collective as well💐 Well done ladies💫

AMAZING

AMAZING. Firstly a big shout out to Amelia who went the extra mile to replace the first pair, that were too small. The replacement boots are incredibly well made, beautiful, soft leather, a sensible heel and a great toe shape. They arrived very quickly. Dwarves shoes are expertly made. They have a diverse range and new trends emerging all the time. For the future buyer, just a word of caution re sizing. They tell you to be careful, but you need to know that they use the Chinese sizes, not European or American. I did not realize that CN36 = EU37. If you take EU36, you need to order EU37 because that is what CN sizes are. Thank you Dwarves. I'll be back for more.

Bad communication, make returns impossible

I ordered the size I always wear but the shoe ran small.

They said we need to return them within a week and in spite of this they do not answer emails for 5 days despite repeated emails.

Shipping it directly to China from California is $45-50

They said that if the shipping charge is over $40 to contact them. They say we can ship it to Oregon but then they charge a $28 fee.

Shipping to Oregon would be $20 plus the restock fee of $28, that is $48

In both cases, the charge is exorbitant, especially since the shoes were a bit over $100. Who would pay a 50% return fee?

Christmas Joy

Stylish, beautifully constructed, soft leather feel, simple yet elegant design.
Excellent customer communication in the midst of minor design update/change and pre Christmas rush to deliver on time.

I bought the Goodyear horse leather…

I bought the Goodyear horse leather ankle boots, I absolutely love my boots. I was kept updated on my status and received my boots in a very timely manner. I measured my foot and used the size chart to select my size and they fit perfectly. My insoles also fit perfectly, Extremely comfortable and worth the price. Would definitely recommend to my friends and buy from this company again.

Unfortunate waste of time, money, energy

I feel duped!! I ordered two pairs of shoes from Dwarves in my usual size. When they arrived, they were DRASTICALLY too small. Customer Service kindly directed me towards the return protocol. However, returns to China from Canada cost $150!!!!!! When I noted this to Customer Service, I was then provided an alternate US return address. This cost me $50 to return. Refunds are then subject to an additional $28USD.

I went ahead and exchanged one pair and returned the other to the US address a couple weeks ago. I have not yet received the return fare, but *have* received the "new pair" in a supposedly larger size. Dude, they are the same pair of too-small shoes.

I'm obviously not going to bother returning them AGAIN for ANOTHER $50.

Overall BRUTAL experience.

That said, the customer service person I spoke to was nice and helpful. But that in no way makes up for being f****** robbed.

The shoes themselves were nice, so this is all a denged shame!

No Practical Way to Return

Took nearly a month to receive my shoes (shipped from China). Wanted to return. The website says that shoes may be returned within 7 days of receipt for full refund. No shipping help/label from company. What they don’t tell you is that UPS costs approximately $259 to ship shoe-sized box to China (boots were $170).

$170 mistake ordering from a company with no practical means of returning. Lesson learned.

Hello Jacalyn, Really sorry for the long time to receive the shoes. Your boots were made after we received your order, so It took about 7-10 days to make them. "Within 7 days of receipt", It is because we want to keep the return shoes in good condition and remind customers to ship back, If our customers have difficulties in ship back within 7 days, they can email us, we will extend the days for them. We offer economical channels to ship back, Please do not use UPS. Just usps is ok for us, normally need about $28 costs. Best Dwarves
