Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 39 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers frequently reported that the delivered items looked entirely different from the online promotional pictures, appearing extremely cheap, poorly made, and constructed from low-grade plastic. Many people also noted severe physical defects, including broken parts, strong chemical glue smells, and incorrect sizing that completely failed to match the advertised descriptions. Reviewers attempting to resolve these problems faced major frustration when seeking fair refunds or trying to process returns. Instead of proper support, buyers were often offered minimal partial refunds while being told to keep the faulty goods or pay exorbitant international shipping costs.

SCAM COMPANY

The boots look nothing like the picture. They look like they are made from paper. Company also only offers you 10% refund, explaining returns process is expensive which they wont cover the cost of. No wonder they make money. They are happy to sell horrendously cheap shoes and most customers probably accept the 10% refund offer. Absolute scam company! DO NOT USE!

The biggest scam ever

The biggest scam ever. If I could give no stars then I would. Nothing like the advertised picture and you have to pay to ship the items back if you request a refund.

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs. Boots eventually arrived, cheap looking, poorly made, damaged and not wide as advertised.

If I could give lower than 1 star I would.

'Brilliant' fit

Saw these shoes advertised, looked stylish and lightweight as per description, I thought worth a punt at just £22 odd quid. Arrived exactly as shown in the picture, decent material, good grippy rubber, good 7.5 fit, comfortable and light. Bargain!!

I ordered 2 pairs of WIDE fitting…

I ordered 2 pairs of WIDE fitting boots, 1 brown pair & 1 black pair. They took a month to come back, both pairs were normal fitting. No good for me. I sent them an email & explaining what was wrong to be told you can send them back but I would have to pay for it. I thought it was a genuine mistake so I told them I would like another 2 pairs sent with Wide fitting, but no it happened yet again. I took the 4 pairs of boots to the Post Office to send them back only to be told it would cost nearly £34-00. Just £6-00 cheaper than what I payed for the boots. On their page it shows as free returns. However when asked they said no. Absolutely shocking service. AVOID AT ALL COST.

I really wish I had read these…

I really wish I had read these reviews!! Absolutely nothing at all like the boots advertised!! Please do not purchase anything from Brilliant Shoes!! These were a Christmas present to myself and they don't fit, no stretch panel (as advertised), they sent the wrong colour - not that it really matters as the quality is shocking!! Please save your money. They offered a 15% refund or said I'd have to return them at my expense for a full refund!! Arrived squashed in a plastic bag and absolutely stink!! These are only fit for the bin. Please don't buy from them. Complete scammers!

Total rip off!

Total rip off!! Boots took forever to arrive and were NOTHING like advertised. NOT wide fitting, NO elastic panel, NO chunky sole or small heel. When I complained, told as return postage would be expensive just to keep boots and get 10% of cost of boots back!!! Only fit for the bin as they stink of glue. Stay well clear of this company!!

Fraud company

Fraud company! Advert shows a completely different item and they claim it is a 30 day money back guarantee but do NOT actually warrant this! No free returns for a pair of boots that smell of fish and are NOT what was pictured. Fraud scam!!!!

Wish I’d read the reviews !

Wish I had read these reviews before purchasing. Look nothing like the picture, not elasticated at all, a zip half way up that doesn’t work on one of them. The heel is ….. well I don’t know what it is but it’s badly glued in to the material. Where’s the elasticated panel? Where’s the chunky heel and sole? Lesson learned.

Wish there was a zero rating

I bought a pair of boots which took weeks to arrive (fair enough, they xame from China) but when they arrived they were/are unwearable. The heel seem to be attached by a square of metal which is uncovered on the inside of the boot. On one boot, it was so uneven and sharp that it cut my foot. On complaining that the items were faulty, I got an offer of a 30% refund, and to keep the unwearable footwear. They refused to cover the postage for a return an full refund, despite the items being faulty! It's not as if I just changed my mind. I'm angry with myself for falling for the promise of comfort in their advertisement.

ordered wide - very very narrow have arrived

I ordered 6.5 wide -- the shoes that arrived are very narrow 8cms( my feet are 11cms
Only option is for very expensive postal return to China --
company offered 10% refund to keep the item This is inadequate ! I am requesting a substantial increase .
The mistake is obvious

I am very very disappointed -- the shoes would have been perfect pretty flats for my daughter's wedding. !
