Originally received the wrong sized…

Originally received the wrong sized shoe, whcih had no size label in it or insoles and wondered if I had been conned and received a knock off.

But I contacted customer services and they were very helpful. Sorted out a free return and sent out a new pair of shoes that's fitted very well straight away.

Shoes have been great, comfortable and look good.

Customer service very helpful

I find the customer service very helpful. This is my second pair of barefoot shoes. The first pair I still wear. The new ones are vegan leather. The soles are good for any terrain and very comfortable.

Natur Contact reported my review as harmful or illegal content...

Two shoes were bought for me as a gift. Refused to refund one pair, refused to even replace another. 12 month warranty means nothing. Complete malpractice.

As stated in my previous review, contact has been made to try and resolve the issue but to no avail. I am leaving this review to highlight to people Natur Contact's way of dealing with this issue. My review was reported for harmful or illegal content by the company. Trust pilot have kept my review up. The company just wants to silence and quash the poor reviews they receive. Appalling.

The other 1 star reviews that accumulate to nearly one fifth of all reviews, show you how dodgy this company truly are.

Please do yourself a favour and avoid, avoid, avoid!!!

Hello Bryn, we’re sorry you feel this way, but we’d like to clarify a few points for anyone reading.

You mention that we are trying to “silence” your review, yet as you can see, your feedback is publicly visible and has not been removed for both of your reviews. Transparency is something we fully support, even when the feedback is negative.

You also refer to other 1-star reviews, but at the same time, more than 80% of our customers report a positive experience. That doesn’t mean every situation will be perfect—but it does suggest that the vast majority of customers receive both the product quality and support they expect.

Regarding your case specifically, our warranty covers manufacturing defects. It does not extend to situations that fall outside of product-related issues. While we always aim to help where possible, we cannot approve requests that are not aligned with these conditions.

We understand that this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, but it would not be fair to other customers if we applied our policies inconsistently.

Not a Winter Hiking or Walking Boot as Suggested By the Description

Based on my wife’s poor experience with the Intemperia 2.0® Winter Barefoot Boots, I thankfully was able to return mine for a refund before I wore them. They are advertised as a water resistant winter barefoot hiking boot, but this is mis-leading as my wife wore hers once on a rainy day to walk the dogs and arrived home with soaking wet feet. In addition it took 24 hours to dry the boots out by the fire as they were so wet inside. Customer service only offered a water resistant spray when my wife contacted them about the problem, providing supporting photographs of both the boots and the walking conditions for their perusal. It was clear that they are not fit for the purpose for which I had purchased them, so I requested a refund. I have awarded 2 stars as the returns process was not too difficult and I was refunded. I advise you to read all reviews before committing to a purchase.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear about your wife’s experience and understand your concerns. We’d like to clarify a few important points to ensure full transparency for anyone reading.

Your case was handled directly with our support team, where:

A replacement pair was provided free of charge as a goodwill gesture, even after several months of use
A return request for the unworn pair was approved and refunded promptly
Continued assistance was offered throughout the entire process

As stated on our product pages, our winter models are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. Under prolonged exposure to heavy rain or saturated conditions, moisture ingress can occur — this is standard across most barefoot footwear due to their flexible, breathable construction.

We always aim to resolve situations fairly and believe the support provided in your case reflects that commitment.

That said, we genuinely appreciate all feedback and are continuously working to improve both our products and communication.

If there is anything further we can assist you with, please feel free to reach out directly.

Kind regards,
Naturcontact Team

Love these boots

Love these boots for everyday wear in the winter. So warm and comfortable and look good too. I will be buying more footwear from Naturcontact. I already have three different styles!

Since I have been wearing these shoes I have found my balance has improved enormously, and I love the close contact with the ground through the flexible thinner sole,it really is like walking barefoot,I find i cannot wear any other style of shoes now.I hope that they will introduce more choice of styles and colours as at the moment it is a bit limited.

Feeling good

The boots are great. Look good and I’m enjoying the different sole. Not sure if I needed a larger size as recommended . I have to lace really tight to prevent sliding forward.
I haven’t received the book which is disappointing

The firm does not accept returns and is breaking the law with sharp practices. I would avoid buying from this company..

After about 10 emails to the firm with them trying break my consumer rights I used pay pal refund. Even then the firm tried to get me to cancel the pay pal process, so ignored those messages! Pay pal were great and got me my refund.

We’re sorry to read your review, but we need to clarify several important points to ensure accuracy and transparency.

First, your refund was processed directly by us, not by PayPal. Had this not been the case, the PayPal dispute would have been decided differently. We always handle valid refund requests in accordance with our procedures.

Second, our policies are fully compliant with applicable consumer laws. Suggesting otherwise is incorrect. We take legal compliance and customer protection very seriously.

Regarding your order, the item purchased was part of our clearance collection, which follows a different return procedure. This is clearly stated both in our Terms & Conditions and directly at checkout before purchase is completed.

We fully support transparency and fair business practices. At the same time, we encourage customers to carefully review the terms presented prior to completing an order, as they are provided to avoid exactly this kind of misunderstanding.

If you have any further questions, we remain available to assist.

Decided to change the returns policy after the purchase.

Bought two pairs of shoes. I tried to return them due to them being too small but I was told that I could not return one of them due to it being a sale item. Despite this information not being provided at the time of purchase. Consequently after months of wrangling, I have two pairs of shoes I don’t want, and have lost out due to the deceptive practices of this company.
This was the second time I’d ordered from them. The first time was a breeze. But this was just atrocious.

Hello Eb,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience, and we truly understand how frustrating this situation must feel.

We would like to clarify that our return policy has always remained consistent and has not been changed. For sale items, the non-returnable condition is clearly stated during the checkout process before completing the purchase, so customers can review this information in advance.

That said, your satisfaction is very important to us. Please reach out to our support team directly, and we will be more than happy to review your case in detail and work toward a resolution that is fully aligned with our policy and applicable consumer protection laws.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to resolve this for you as smoothly as possible.

Poor quality workmanship

Purchased boots from Naturcontact. After wearing only a few times the upper started to come away from the sole. Sent photo to company who said this was not covered under the guarantee but was normal west and tear! I was offered another pair at a price of £19.99. A few wears later they are unusable.

Dear Marian

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We are sorry to hear about your experience. At Naturcontact, all of our products undergo strict quality control procedures before leaving our factory to ensure they meet our durability and performance standards. Issues such as the upper separating from the sole are extremely rare.

In your case, we also provided an additional pair after your first report in order to assist you. Experiencing the same issue with two different pairs is highly unusual, which may indicate that the shoes were exposed to particular usage conditions that can affect the bonding between the sole and upper.

Our footwear is designed for everyday and outdoor use, but certain factors (such as excessive moisture exposure, intensive terrain conditions, or other external elements) can influence the lifespan of the materials.

That said, we would still like to better understand what happened. Please feel free to contact our support team with photos and additional details about how the boots were used, so we can review the situation further and assist you appropriately.

Customer satisfaction is very important to us, and we remain available to help.

Kind regards,
The Naturcontact Team
