After having a pair for at least 5 years and finding them very comfortable, with no problems I bought a new pair. Firstly on getting them home they smelt fishy, what glue is used? Secondly the shoe... See more

Poor quality shoes. Shoes sole broken to several pieces after only few times wearing. I have two photos as an evidence.
Previous purchases I’ve had from Josef Seibel have been great. A pair of sandals I hadn’t worn much, were ideal for the recent warm weather. The sole on both has just split. Only one season’s wear, overall.
I wrote to Josef Seibel with a cheeky request, wondering if they had a spare left Caron style trainer as a fox went off with mine! Not surprisingly they didn't, but as a gesture of goodwill, they sent me a £25 voucher towards my replacement pair. That's what I call BRILLIANT service!!
I bought a pair of Josef Seibel sandals Tonga 25 a year ago and the cork that the heels are made of has started to disintegrate already so they are no longer wearable. The Josef Seibel website will take no responsibility, claiming that they are a website only and not the manufacturer.
Purchased the Westland Peyton boots in black , they are such a good fit and so comfortable , I’m usually a size 5 or 6 in footwear depending on style , I got these in the 5 and they are perfect , I was a bit sceptical when I realised they were vegan but can honestly say they are so well made and I’ve paid more for boots that haven’t lasted very long , will definitely buy again from Josef Seibel range .
My Josef Seibel boots are well made, stylish and very comfortable. I will definitely be buying other styles.
I have just purchased the Emily 01 from JOSEF SEIBEL and I absolutely love them! The minimal look makes them the perfect white trainer to go with everything in my wardrobe. Super comfortable straight out of the box -no breaking in needed.
My first pair of Steffi Boots lasted 2 seasons, then the sole split. I replaced them and the sole split on the new pair within 7 months. I've never had boots from any other manufacturer last for such a short time. I won't be buying any more of this brand.
Great shopping process from ordering to delivery. Prompt & efficient. Parcel arrived well wrapped & smartly boxed. Good all round service.

I have been a customer for a long time and have always been totally happy and satisfied. The choice covers a wide range and my last purchase the Claire 03 are a very well made trainer type shoe, sturdy yet soft making them extremely comfortable to wear!

2nd pair of boots by this brand and have to say they are not as comfy or soft as my first pair, 2nd wearing the eyelets came apart. :(. As it's coming into summer it will be a while before "break" them in . A little disappointed as my 1st pair were and still are fantastic.

Super shoes. So soft and light. Delightful to wear. Really well made.

Bought the Jasper 50 mens chelsea boots, which I've now had for 2 years. The Suede still looks almost perfect afters lots of use, and the occasional brush, but the outersole is a bit soft. They've lasted me 2 years before I decided they needed resoling (which Josef Siebel recommends not doing), but I spent £35 getting stick on soles in a much harder rubber, so hopefully they'll last me another couple of years. So far so good.

I purchased my first pair of Josef siebel boots on a trip to Montreal Quebec at "Chaussures Berti". Within 3 months the back seam of my boots ripped open. I have never encountered this with any footwear I have ever owned. I went through all channels to rectify this issue by contacting the complaint department at josef siebel as well as the purchasing store. I had a credit card statement with the only purchase from this store. I was told because I didn't have an original receipt they couldn't help me. I am truly shocked at the poor quality of my boots as well as the poorest customer service.
I used to buy Josef seibel shoes and they were really good quality but my recent purchase is awful. The wood effect trim on the on the sambal boot heels has come off on both pairs and the sole is coming away on one. They are not the quality they once were, it is a shame and I won’t buy again.
I just got my first pair of shoes from this company. I always wanted a pair. They looked so cute leather riveted booties. I have only worn twice. The whole Side literally tore open and the rubber on the side of the soul completely fell apart. I am just devastated. I’ve wanted a pair for years. Finally get one and the quality is awful. Very poorly made.
Sole wore out and split within 8 weeks. They let rain in through the sides and top. Will never buy again!
I have worn Seibel shoes for many, many years. The quality used to be very good but recent purchase has changed my mind about the company's integrity. They sent me vegan boots, the site did not say anywhere these were not leather, After receiving this artificial fabric boots I scanned the site and the only way to figure it out was hidden in a small print in the cleaning method and fading, small, round mark at the very bottom of the page, hidden among many others. Won't buy again. Returned. They sent money back. The review left on the site boots were purchased from was not made visible.
