Disappointed in how stiff & unnecessary the

The plastic near & around the shoe laces is awful. It digs into your toes as you’re walking. I think a tumble could seriously injure your toes. The softer canvas is all that is needed around the whole shoe. I’ve watched & have been excited about this brand for years. Finally was able to order a pair & I don’t even consider them wearable with that shiny plastic dangerously sharp…right where your toes need to bend. Bummed.

Order never arrives

I ordered them 6 months ago and still no package. I emailed them, they said its waiting customs clearance in my country. 2 more months go by and no word. This company is a scam.

Very very unfortunate that I need to leave one star review but for real the customer service is so bad that they can’t even exchange my order. They don’t respond AT ALL. Very disappointing. Very disappointed.

Sneakers rip the skin of my toes

Dear Team

I bought a pair of sneakers from your Company because I was excited about the sustainable and circular economy concept.
However, after paying 25.- bugs for shipment plus 30.- bugs for tarifs I received the shoes. I tried my first walk with the sneakers (using normal socks) for about 3 km and After that the skin of three of my five toes on both feet were ripped and bleeding. The fabric is so stiff and rigid that toes are tortured. How can I soften the fabric? Shell I hammer the shoe or drive over it?
Thanks for advice, sofar I am not convinced.

Quality New Sustainable Sneakers

These are going to be my favourite shoes.
I wanted Thaelys because they are made with recycled plastic. I am all over that!
I got the Y2K in Shadow Black.
They are cool in design, seem well made and I really like the coloured flecks in the sole.
The price is also reasonable.
I am very happy with my new shoes.

Shipping doubled because of UK

The shipping was expensive but OK, you knew it was going to be that amount. But then it was shipped to the UK, before it was going to Europe. I payed half of the price of the shoes again to taxes. (32EUR). Maybe change the shipping process for Europe to make it less expensive!

The price of the shoes is ok with the quality delivered, but not if you add shipping+ taxes. The shoes are a soft fabric so turn dirty quickly, and the shape changed quickly if you have wide feet. It is not a sturdy material. So ok for the price on the website, not ok with all the extra shipping. I payed double the price in total.
