The boots are fantastic

The boots are fantastic, came exactly on time. But for the price you pay I am not sure why there is a delivery charge. It's not a lot but it's the principle.

The Bad Step

I found the laces too short - I already let you know about that fact, but received no response - and also found I couldn't close the part of the boot where the tying eyelets come together to help protect the instep from the rain.

Forgive the terminology.

Sorry to hear you found the laces too short. Please email customerservices@cheaney.co.uk and they can arrange to send you some longer ones or ofcourse you can return the item to us for a refund. Details of how to do this can be found on our website. Cheaney HQ

Delivery was a little slow

Delivery was a little slow, 7 days, but maybe we are being spoiled by the big companies.

Always prompt delivery- quality never fails

Always prompt delivery. The little suede collapsable loafers are my basic everyday shoe 'slipper' for around the house/ popping out. Have them in three colours- black navy and tan, am eyeing up the rust too! Hope they bring back the dark green!

It’s great to know that your suede loafers are your go-to everyday shoe. We’ll certainly pass along your request for the dark green colour to the team. Cheaney HQ
