Sizing is completely incorrect

Sizing is completely incorrect. I have never seen a US size 6 equate a 37. The shoe was 1-2 sizes too big. This happened with a previous boot purchase as well.
I tried to contact customer service to exchange but never heard back.
There was no way to exchange the product using the online return option despite multiple similar options in smaller sizes being available. Furthermore, I was expected to pay an additional shipping charge on an already pricy product.
I have purchased many pairs in the past but am unlikely to make any future purchases based on this experience.

Hi, we're really sorry to hear this and truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We understand how frustrating sizing issues can be. Just to clarify, we provide a detailed size guide on each product page to help avoid confusion, especially as our US sizing is sometimes mistaken for UK sizing.

If you reached out to help@laidbacklondon.com, our team will be happy to assist you. I’ll also follow up internally to ensure your message is seen. Thank you again for your feedback- we’d really love the chance to make this right. 💛

Thanks for your message! It sounds like your feet are quite narrow—some of our styles may run a bit wider, but this definitely shouldn’t be happening. If you’d like, we can recommend styles with a more secure or adjustable fit to better suit your feet. Let us know your size—we’d love to help! 💛

Very pleased with the customer service

Very pleased with the customer service. Have made many purchases with the company and one of my recent items had a defect. Customer service was very helpful and understanding of my problem and were able to issue me a replacement. Will be purchasing again and again!

Pretty, sturdy, and unique! Highly recommend!

I had seen this brand several years ago but did not want to risk purchasing flip flops internationally. I’ve really not seen anything like the styles they carry anywhere else though, so I finally bought a pair. It was a great decision! I got Seri SSG Leather Sandal Tribal in a size 9 US/40EU and they fit perfectly. I thought they felt stiff at first but they’re not, they are easy to walk in and sturdy (well made). I love the color and style options, I’ll have to get another pair!

I love my Laidback London sandals

I love my Laidback London sandals! Comfy lovely to look at and wear. When there was a problem, a faulty toe post, with my last pair of sandals I contacted customer service who agreed to replace the sandals- I received them quickly and I am so pleased with them. Thank you!
