I already wrote a review but I'll do it…

I already wrote a review but I'll do it again if you want me to. I love Dwarves shoes - they are innovative and original, and thankfully go against the 'sophisticated' pointy-toed, spike-heeled trends. But I'm disappointed they assume we all have tiny feet. My latest pair was not offered in a size 9, and I had to cut the buckle off because it wouldn't even wrap around (didn't reach) to the top of my foot.

Hi Megan,

Thank you so much for your kind words about our designs—we truly appreciate your support and are glad to hear you enjoy the style of our shoes.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience with the fit, especially regarding the strap not accommodating a higher instep. We understand how frustrating it must have been to have to modify the shoes yourself.

Fit can vary depending on foot shape, and we recognize that this particular style may not be suitable for customers with higher insteps. Your feedback is extremely valuable, and we will certainly share it with our design team as we continue to improve both fit and adjustability.

If you’d like, please feel free to contact us directly—we’d be happy to see how we can assist you further.

Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback.

Love these awesome boots

As soon as I unveiled these carefully packaged treasures, I could sense the quality and care that they were made with. Cannot fault the materials and design, definitely artisan crafed with attention to detail. The leather is soft and supple and the soles are very flexible and comfortable. Sizing is perfect, if you follow their instructions and measure your feet!
Can't sing their praises enough, they are my new favourite boots...until the next pair of Dwarves I'm now tempted by. Very efficient order and despatch process. Highly recommend.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT

EXCELLENT PRODUCT! It took a long time for me to get my shoes; and when I did, they felt wonderful on my feet except they were too short. I had to return them for a larger size, which are comfortable; but I have to wear 2 pair of socks to keep them from slipping up and down on my foot. Customer Service is EXCELLENT! Exchange of shoes was seamless. I will buy again and already refer friends.

Returns are difficult

These shoes are well-made which caused concern at how low the price was. Of course they are made in China which you can see in a few of their pictures. BUT you better be absolutely sure you love your selected shoes and that they fit, because you may NOT be able to return them. I tried everything to return mine but got no response let alone a refund. Buyer beware!!!

Finding cute

Finding cute, durable, and affordable shoes for wide feet is a challenge. I adore the look and construction of these. I love them enough to buy another pair in a different color.

Love Dwarves Shoes

I am totally hooked on Dwarves Shoes! They are, by far, the best shoes/boots I've bought in many years and I am a footwear connoisseur. I have bought six pairs over the past three years and I love every one of them. They are very well made, exactly as described and I received them quite a bit earlier than expected. I definitely recommend Dwarves Shoes and will be buying more! Sandals are next!

The soles fell off after 5 wears!

Took forever to get the shoes, much much longer than advertised. Wore them 5 times and the soles of BOTH heels fell off. Dwarves was unresponsive even though I sent pics. Contacted multiple times and nothing. Crickets.

Hi Rainmaker,

We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for the frustration this has caused. This is certainly not the level of quality, delivery experience, or customer support we strive to provide.

Any report of soles detaching after limited wear is taken very seriously, and we understand how disappointing this must have been. We are also sorry to hear that your attempts to reach us did not receive a timely response.

We would appreciate the opportunity to look into this matter thoroughly and make it right. Please contact us directly at customer@dwarvesshoes.com with your order number and photos, or let us know the best way to reach you.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. It helps us identify areas where we need to improve, and we hope we can resolve this for you.

Real Leather Shoes

I have bought several pairs of shoes from Dwarves. I love them all! I came across the company when I was looking for shoes made of real leathers, and Dwarves popped up. I decided to give it a try, and fell in love with the quality of shoes.

I ordered from this company like a week…

I ordered from this company like a week and a half ago, I got no feedback from my order as far as shipping or even an ETA. Keep in mind, these shoes are not cheap as far as the price. I had to message them to get any info only for them to say they were shipping the same day I messaged. Two days after I get a message saying they are out of stock and if I mind picking another style. I did, the thing is they say it takes about 2 weeks to get them. I wondered if I had not message if they even saw my order. It's so weird. I really wanted to give a good review, but I don't think they care. Anywho, and for the record I did order a clearance pair as well and did get that pair fairly fast. I'll wait and see how long it takes for the replacement to arrive.

Dear Veronica,

Thank you for your patience, and I want to sincerely apologize for the confusion and the delay with your order. I’d like to explain what actually happened so you have full clarity.

The style you selected is part of a very limited-inventory style, and it was waiting for a stock update on our side. During the warehouse inventory check, the stock quantity for your size was entered incorrectly. Because of that error, our customer service team believed your size was still available when it actually wasn’t — which unfortunately led to the delay and the inconvenience you experienced. I’m truly sorry for the frustration this caused.

As an apology for the time you’ve lost, we would like to offer you a discount as compensation. The discount code will be sent via email.

Your replacement pair is now being made, and we’ll prioritize the production and shipping to ensure it arrives as soon as possible. You’ll receive tracking information the moment it’s ready.

Thank you again for your understanding, and I truly appreciate you giving us the opportunity to make this right. If there’s anything else you need, I’m here to help.

Warm regards,
Dwarves Shoes

Dwarves is a killer.

I placed an order, size 6.5 ( American Size) but the shoes was too small. My actual size is 6. I reached out to Dwarves, Tina was assisting me and I need to pay my own shipping to return the shoes. I paid US $15.00 to return my shoes and requesting to send me size 7. I specify the length and width of my foot to make sure I will get the correct size. Please take note Dwarves telling that US size but it is not. The shoes are too small compare with n actual US size. To cut the story short, in order to send me the replacement I need to pay again a logistic fees to send my replacement shoes. I told them Dwarves is a KILLER, Tina told out of courtesy she will waive those fees. She's asking me different question, picture of my foot etc. I decided to not to pursue to my new shoes size 7. Refund was credited but less logistic fees which is $28.00. All of this logistic fees was not FULLY DISCLOSE before you place your order. I am American and we don't do that kind of business. We treat our custoner correctly. I file claim with my bank. The purpose of this review to inform and alarm all customer especially if you live in US. American customer be careful and if you still want to place your order with Dwarves make you know that the shoes will fit you otherwise ready for a lot of logistic fees. I will no longer going to do business with Dwarves. In fairness with China.

Dear Theresa,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry that our service did not meet your expectations — this is never the experience we want any customer to have.

We understand how frustrating sizing issues can be. Because our shoes are handmade and follow a different size standard, we always encourage customers to confirm foot measurements so we can recommend the most accurate size. Our team asked for photos only to ensure we gave you the correct replacement and to prevent further inconvenience.

Regarding the logistics fees:
Our return and exchange policy — including any shipping or handling fees — is fully listed on our website, but we truly regret that it did not feel clear enough to you during the process. We will review and improve the way this information is presented so customers can make fully informed decisions before placing an order.

We are glad that your refund was completed. Even so, we understand your disappointment, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue improving both our products and our service.

If you would like us to look into any remaining concerns, our support team is always here and willing to assist.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Warm regards,
Dwarves

Great Shoes, Great Service

Since June, I have purchased many pairs of shoes (12) from this company. While the shipping does take about 15 days, as they are made in China, every pair I have fits delightfully and people notice them. I've never had to return a pair, I've bought a couple of returns on sale (those are shipped from New Jersey). Customer service has been very helpful when I had questions. They are very responsive.

Buyer beware

The shoes are decent, but they’re not high quality leather. They don’t fit right so I submitted a return and got a sketchy email back with an address in New Jersey to send them to, but that they’d be sent back to China for return processing. When you’re spending $300 for boots, this is terrible customer service. This company is a scam.

Hi Anna,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate your feedback. We want to clarify that our return address in New Jersey is our official U.S. warehouse, which we use to receive and process returns before they are sent back to our workshop for inspection.

All returns are handled securely and refunds are issued once the inspection is completed. We’re a small handmade shoe brand, not a scam company, and we care deeply about every customer’s satisfaction. Our team has reached out via email to assist you further and ensure your return is processed smoothly.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
