Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the products for their comfort, excellent fit, and the availability of wide options, alongside appealing designs and colors. Many highlight the high quality and reliability of the gear, noting its suitability for various activities and demanding conditions. The delivery service is often described as exceptionally quick and reliable, with orders frequently arriving within a few days. Furthermore, the staff receives high commendation for being helpful, knowledgeable, and patient, providing valuable advice to ensure customers find the perfect items. However, some customers experienced issues with product durability, reporting that boots and shoes sometimes failed prematurely, with materials separating from soles or breaking at seams after limited use. A few other people also felt that despite wide-fit options, certain products were still too narrow or caused discomfort, like rubbing heels. Additionally, some reviewers encountered problems with order fulfillment, including delayed tracking updates, receiving incorrect products, or difficulties with returns and exchanges.

Went for a size up and the widest fit. Fits perfectly and much better than any other Inov8 running shoe I’ve bought in the past ten years. The grip is not so aggressive which is perfect for the dry we... See more

I spent weeks going back and fourth on a refund issue…

I spent weeks going back and fourth with customer service trying to process a return. I paid in their portal, and they had a technical error on their end, which blocked me from getting my return label. I had to spent at least 5 back and fourth emails, which were responded by different people with new context each time, explaining to them the situation without them taking the time to read the email thread, and resolve my issue (they frequently suggested the same unsuccessful fix that the previous person suggested). They would not send my label over email, and constantly cited their provider Rebound having issues, which didn't help in advancing the case's resolution. Eventually, through a lot of dragging and pushing for up, I got the return label via email. Multiple times they said I would receive confirmation emails from the refund, but that was not the case. At the end, after a month and more, I was able to get the refund (at last). I don't have much against the product, but if you do wish to buy anything here, know that you're in it for a ride if you wish to return and get a refund.....

Excellent staff

I went into the shop (not for the first time) and the thing that makes it stand out for me is the knowledgeable and friendly staff. They are so lovely and down to earth and want to understand your needs and wants. I have not recieved my shoes yet but my others are great so I expect these will be too.

Super advice and help!

Popped in on Friday to get a new pair of shoes…really helpful advice and support. Appreciated the easy to understand information on each type of shoe and offering to recycle my very worn and old pair was also great!

Cannot fault customer service

I’ve had a quite a few pairs of boots from INOV8 over the last few years. A couple of them had issues with minor faults/breakages but the offer of a replacement pair/refund was always quick and easy. They remain the most comfortable, if not the longest lasting, boots I have ever had and I always go back to them. They deliver quickly and sort out any problems. Great company.

Get with the times

The shoes are great however more information about sizing would have made for a better fit (these run extremely small, I am usually a 38 - these are a 38.5 and still too small)
You also need to drop the signature required by UPS - people work and are not home to accept deliveries - it is common practice to leave parcels these days and yet you/UPS insists on a signature making the delivery process extremely inconvenient- while you believe this is an attempt to protect the recipient it makes for a poor customer experience plus after talking to UPS they are willing to accept a signature from literally anyone - I like in a building of 60 apartments and they were willing to accept a signature from someone who I don’t know walking in the gate

Hello.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
We're sorry to your new BareXF's were not a good fit, It can be difficult to advise on fit as it is such a personal choice.
In terms of the UPS delivery options, we have found issues with other couriers leaving orders in a 'safe place' only for the customer to find the parcel was stolen before they could return home. We do however appreciate all customer feedback as it can only help us improve in the future, we will be sure to pass your thoughts on to the warehouse team.
Once again we do apologise for the dissapointment caused.
Best wishes.

Impressive customer support! …

My trailtalon turned up and the right shoe had a defect in the heel cushioning. I emailed the team and they were very quick to respond and send me out another pair of shoes. Haven’t received them yet, but so far couldn’t ask for better service.
