Great first experience. I bought some shoes for my wife (typically not in the black friday sale). I was having issues inputting the new customer code (had an error). Tsholo from their support tea... See more

Cannot praise San Matin’s Customer Care highly enough. Despite having purchased my trainers in the January sale, I had saved them for my holidays in early summer. It was only then that I noticed a... See more

I had an issue with sizing (they run big). After an initial glitch with customer service, Tsholo resolved it with empathy and grace – truly second to none. I’m very grateful. The shoes themselves... See more

Order never arrived :(

Was really excited to wear the shoes and paid $200 for them, but the order never arrived. I contacted the email address from the order but they never wrote back :'( Seems like a scam company.

Very disappointed

Very disappointed. Customer Service was slow - had to email repeatedly to find out where my order was; one style not in stock for over 4 weeks so requested a refund which was also slow to be processed. The style that was in stock were really uncomfortable, not soft leather at all but really hard and cheap feeling; one size damaged on sole and the fit was dreadful - 40 way too small and 41 way too big !!! See other negative reviews that said the same. Overall really disappointed and I had to pay a service charge to return them!!!!

Beware if you have to return a product!

First purchase and unfortunately the shoes didn’t fit. The return process was easy enough but they deduct a service charge for a refund. They take 14 business days to review before they make a refund! This process needs to be quicker I do not recommend this company based on their customer service.

Gorgeous trainers

Gorgeous trainers, lovely design and super comfortable. Like all trainers they need wearing in a little and this did hurt a bit but that’s all part of new trainers. Packaging was a nice surprise too.

Beautiful shoes

Beautiful shoes - stylish and comfortable, and well-made. Came in lush packaging too. And a size 8 is a proper size 8 (42!)

Very comfortable and stylish

Very comfortable and stylish. The delivery was fast, from when I placed the order and then exchanged the order for a suitable size, which was a seamless process. I will most certainly purchase from Sans Matin again for trainers. The price might be a bit expensive, but it’s worth it for the style, comfort, excellent customer service & prompt postage & delivery service.

I absolutely L😍VE this brand!

I absolutely L😍VE this brand!
Maybe I am bias, but I can’t fault any of the designs. I have the C20, The Ludo and now The Lala. Quality is excellent, the only ones I had a blister with on the initial wear were the C20, but other than that they look smart with any outfit & I love the addition Dust Bags you get with each pair.

Ok trainers. But not comfortable

Ok trainers. But not comfortable as promised. The leather is hard. My partners has blisters on his heel after a short walk. Would I buy them again? No. I expect a pair of trainers to be comfortable from the start for this price.

No refund

Bought some shoes for my girlfriend, which then I returned. I’ve sent the shoes back over 3 weeks ago but still haven’t my refund. Have emailed 3 times, still haven’t heard back.

NICE TRAINERS BUT..

I ordered two pairs of trainers (in two seperate orders). The trainers are a really lovely design - they just didn’t work for me. I must be between sizes.

Returned them and got confirmation 12 January 2024 that they had been received.

Their website says that they take up to five business days to process a refund. After ten business days/ two calendar weeks I had still not had my refunds.

I emailed and chased got one refund through for one order. Had to chase again to get the second refund.

The trainers are lovely and every communication I have had with them has been polite but they really need to up their standards when it comes to issuing refunds promptly - it’s a really important part of e-commerce.

I love my new SM trainers

I love my new SM trainers. These are my first pair (The Eduardo) and I will be purchasing another style as soon as I can! They are super comfortable, just as advertised. The ordering process was easy and the trainers arrived quickly and communication was great. Thank you SM!

Most comfortable and stylish trainers

Most comfortable and stylish trainers. The delivery was fast from when I placed the order & I exchanged the order for a suitable size, which was a seamless process. I even got a birthday discount, which was very beneficial. I will most certainly purchase from Sans Matin again for trainers. I won’t be buying trainers from anywhere else as long as Sans Matin keeps up with making stylish and comfortable trainers. The price might be a bit dear, but it’s worth it for the style, comfort, excellent customer service & prompt postage & delivery service as well. Well worth the 5-star rating.

Absolutely thrilled

Absolutely thrilled. Fit true to size. Extremely comfortable even the first time I wore them. I usually suffer with new shoes or trainers, Very elegant as they look great with jeans or skirt.

The Sans Martin trainer is one of the most comfortable trainers I have had

The Sans Martin trainer is one of the most comfortable trainers I have ever had. I bought a pair last year, which have had a lot of wear and they still look in good condition and have retained their comfort. I decided to get a white pair this time. The company kept me up to date with the progress of the order and delivery was made within 3 days. I am pleased to say they are as comfortable as my other pair.
