Beautiful but uncomfortable

I have bought two pairs of sandals. Both excellent quality and very pretty, exactly what I was expecting. However one of them is so rough around the edges that causes my skin to break every time I wear them and I have tried a couple of times to see if they would get softer but unfortunately one pair will be not used as it stands. Such a pity…

Thank you so much for your kind words and honest feedback. We're really sorry to hear that one pair hasn't been comfortable to wear. Some of our styles do take a little time to soften with use, but your experience shouldn’t be painful. If you haven’t already, please get in touch with our customer care team at help@laidbacklondon.com so we can look into this for you. We'd love to help make it right.

Thanks so much for your feedback! We're glad to hear the ordering process was smooth and that wearing socks helped ease the fit. If the rubbing persists or causes any discomfort, feel free to reach out to our customer care team at help@laidbacklondon.com —we’re always happy to help.

I am addicted to Laidback London shoes & great service

I am addicted to Laidback London shoes. They are so much fun, have great variety, are incredibly comfortable, and high quality. I keep saying I have to stop, but one more style comes up, and I can't resist. I recently had a problem with placing my order and am in the US; so, there wasn't a phone number, but I sent an email and got immediate responses; so, they were able to fix it so that I could place the order. Laidback London has the great combination of quality products with quality service. Thank you!!!!

Beautiful but made for FAT feet

The shoes are beautiful but they are made for FAT feet. I bought an size 8 because that is what I always wear. They are BIG but fit lengthwise. I don't know what to do with them.

Thanks so much for your feedback! Sorry to hear the fit isn’t quite right. We do have size guides on each product page, which might help for future reference. If the pair is unworn, you’re welcome to exchange or return it- just reach out to our customer service team at help@laidbacklondon.com and they’ll be happy to help!

I love their story.

I love their story..
I love the colours
but apart from flip flops I felt them "too hard" to wear irritate toes ... just not comfy

Thanks so much for your feedback 💛 We're sorry to hear that particular style didn’t feel comfortable on your feet. Our sandals do soften with wear, especially the leather ones, but we understand comfort is key from the start. If you'd ever like help finding a style that suits your feet better, we're always here to help!

I love your sandals

I love your sandals! So unique and well made. My first pair has been worn so much that the bottoms are wearing out! I get so many compliments on them!

These sandals are super cute

These sandals are super cute. They fit well and are not sloppy on my feet like other flip flop style sandals. They are very well made with a nice strong sole. I recommend!
