Love the boots

Love the boots, my only criticism is that they needed braking in, I went for wider fitting the ankle and calf was perfect but a little tight round the foot, but walking round the house for a few day's with footbeds taken out worked. But start again with footbeds in. But a beautiful boot. 😁

Delivery issues

Delivery issues. No attempt made before 8am as notified by email, otherwise it would have been left in our safe place. Email saying it would be delivered the next day, 2 hrs later another email saying it was dropped off and ready for collection at our local coop, 7 miles away! So an unexpected journey for a parcel that should have been delivered to my house and no explanation from the courier as to why this wasn’t carried out

Possible scam

Just paid £95 for a pair of work trousers, 6 days later I’m still waiting for them, no delivery details, no reply to emails sent. Starting to think this is a fake company.
