Josef Seibel Reviews 71

Had high hopes for these shoes but ended up very disappointed. Soles seem very hard, some sort of rubber or plastic type material I would suspect, so soles have no 'give' and are uncomfortable when walking. Lesson - always check reviews before buying.

Bought 2 pairs of summer shoes in 2023. Soles have split on the inside of the shoes. Shoes have had light usage.

How is Joseph Seibel getting away with selling this rubbish.

Shoes made in India
Sole split after 6 months light use

I e-mailed the company prior to buying the Westland Glider 01 to ask if it will be waterproof if I walk into water their response: "the Glider 01 product is 100% waterproof ". I bought it and walked ankle height into water only to find that it is not waterproof and the shoes started getting wet after 5 seconds in the water. I am deeply disappointed that they would just blatantly lie. On top of that the calves are a really tight fit. I'm afraid I have no use for them and it was a complete waste of money.

I bought the Lenny 51 shoes. Within around 2 weeks the laces were fraying, and almost 3 months in, the soles are splitting. Awful quality. Fast fashion, and bad for the environment. I used to highly regard this brand, but my last 2 purchases have had issues with the quality.

Fantastic shoes. I dress smartly for work (suit, blazer etc) but I also have a decent walk to & from my local railway station. It’s difficult to find comfortable, durable shoes that also look smart and fashionable for the office.
Josef Seibel cross that line perfectly, beautifully made shoes at a fair price.

This is an old establish company which I first came across some years ago . My wife has two pairs of their Selena 59 Autumn/Winter boots the first pair are some 3/4 years old and apart from heeling and cleaning have performed as expected from a quality product and have stood up well to some rough walking
The second pair she is wearing this winter as a smart fashionable town shoe for this wet seasons weather a roll they are amply suited for.
I recently purchased a pair of there Jasper 50 Chelsea boots in grey suede, I expected them to be a problem in the current wet spell , but no, I have worn them most days and other than wiping the rain from them and a suede brush clean they look pretty good, and they are so comfortable

Quality (soles particularly) of Josef Seibel shoes has deteriorated big time. Bought 2 pairs of Alastair 01 men’s shoes. Soles on both pairs split on middle after very little wear. One pair was replaced but I am still left with a pair that are unusable. Personal opinion is that the quality of rubber ( I assume that is what it is) being used is on the lower end of the scale.
I noticed a comment on Trust Pilot about the company not publishing negative reviews - have had the same experience. Posted a 1 star review on the above shoes and as yet it has not appeared on JS site as far as I can see. Have also noted that there are no reviews of any men’s shoes on the JS by post site - wonder why?
Shoes were very comfortable but buying them has proved to be an expensive mistake.
I did have quite a bit of contact (E Mail and phone) with the company over the last few months and Customer Service staff were professional in dealing with my issue.
Have purchased various Josef Seibel shoes for years but unfortunately I am now an ex customer.
