Stepneyworkersclub Reviews 

the shoes look nice, but I expected better quality. the sole is glued and it came off quickly :(

Similar to everybody else on here. The shoes look great out of the box but the canvas almost immediately starts separating from the sole. Durability is just awful.

I recently purchased a pair of SWC Dellows in grey. It's a sort of mid to dark grey and would partner well with darker jeans, blacks and greys. I intend wearing them with white jeans though. They're yet to be worn out of the house so my comments are provisional and based on early impressions. The first is size: while SWC is a London company, the sneakers are made in Vietnam, and they can't seem to get sizes right. For the first time in ages I found sneakers in a half size, 10.5 UK or 45 EU (technically 10.5 is 44.5, but no biggie). They feel like a half size smaller though. I have several pairs of sneakers in UK10/US11 and they feel bigger than these. It's winter in Australia and I had to change to thin summer socks to be even able to get them on.

The other thing which struck me right away is the weight. These are heavy sneakers! I'm wearing them right now to see whether the weight is comfortable and whether that thick sole has much "give" on my hardwood floors. So far so good, although the almost smooth sole, without any tread at all, makes me worry about slippery surfaces. It does make me wonder why they put such a thick, heavy sole on the shoes and then left them completely bald apart from the SWC logo impressed in them. Seriously weird, but then I should have paid more attention to the product photographs. I paid an excellent price for the sneakers, roughly one third retail, so can't complain too much.

As a more general comment, the range looked quite extensive and I'd be happy to own more SWC sneakers should my current pair prove satisfactory. I'd definitely go up a size though, and would also hope that the soles aren't all thick and bald. The range of colours and styles in the uppers is amazing.

I really liked the style of the shoe and they are comfortable. However, they lack any durability. I purchased them 2 months ago and they are falling apart. The sole is coming away from shoe itself and there are holes in the canvas. I have not been wearing them that much so its just a bit of a let down because I love the style and what the brand stands for.

Bought some dellows about a month ago. They are comfortable, look great and the price is pretty good. They are starting to fall apart though, after only a month. I walked in them pretty extensively, also on a hiking trail, played basketball in them, wore them on nights out and beat them up a bit. I expected them to last as a "utilitarian" shoe like chucks, but the canvas is ripped in several places along the sole, the sole is cracking and unsticking. They're basically done after a month. If this happened a few months in I'd consider just getting another pair, but it's not worth it.

super comfy and a shoe that lasts even in bad conditions!

These shoes are awesome. The perfect balance of style and comfort needed in a shoe. Fit for every occasion. Can’t recommend enough

I purchased some Stepney Workers Club white and red sneakers ( Club Dellow S-Strike Canvas Ecru ) and put them on the first day I got them and wore them into London (the city where Stepney is from) and got them quite damp. (As you tend to do being in London). The next day I realised that the red leather had seeped into and stained the sides of the canvas shoe.

I contacted Stepney to ask if they could provide any assistance. I was responded to by a customer assistant called Victoria who stated that “ We do advise that the shoes do not get in contact with moisture can cause a natural reaction resulting in discolouring of the canvas. Unfortunately we will be unable to assist any further with this.”

I felt like this was such a poor effort from Stepney to simply say I was wrong for getting my shoes wet. They provided no solution or help to my issue. I think that a London shoe brand should at least realise that it’s not exactly very easy to not get a pair of shoes wet in London.

I have images of both the ruined shoes and my conversation with Stepney Workers Club.
