Written by the company

An independent British company founded in 1981. Fuelled by the ferocity of punk and founded in it’s febrile aftermath in early 1980’s Manchester, Underground was born out of a love of renegade style. It was our iconic championing of the Creeper shoe at this time that reinstated subculture’s most subversive shoe to their warranted glory by trialling the boundaries of silhouettes, soles and materials. Now known the world over for our iconic styles and archetypes - Nox sneakers, Jungle boot, Winklepickers, Steel Caps, and Half-moon clothing, Underground products are made with a sense of irreverence at heart and define luxury subculture. Through our journey from Manchester to Soho - we remain independent, and at the forefront of subversive style. Alongside our collection of core Subversive shoe styles, we offer Custom Made shoes, our British Made Clothing Line: Half-moon and curated series of books, prints and vinyl. All with music and subculture at it's heart. At Underground England, we’re passionate about what we do, creating quality footwear that’s rooted in subculture and built to last. But we’re also human, and like many independent businesses, we’ve had our share of challenges. During a period after Covid, we struggled with some significant shipping and fulfilment delays. This led to frustration for some of our customers, and rightly so, we weren’t delivering the standard of service that people deserve. We’ve since worked hard behind the scenes to fix that. We’ve overhauled our logistics, built stronger supplier relationships, and added new systems to keep things running smoothly. Today, we’re dispatching orders on time, and we’re proud of the improvements we’ve made. We know some old reviews online still reflect that tough period. That’s why we’re asking our recent customers, if you had a good experience, please consider sharing it. Your voice helps others see how far we’ve come. To everyone who’s supported us: thank you. We’re not a giant corporation, just a passionate team who believe in what we do. And we’re always learning. Team Underground England

Worth the wait!

Yes, it took longer than I expected for my order to arrive but I promise you,it was well worth the wait. You can really tell the amount of care and attention that was put into my gorgeous custom made creepers and I’m absolutely over the moon with them. Not a single fault or anything out of place and their customer service was absolutely amazing as well so really cannot think of a single bad thing to say!

Don't let the wait time fool you

10/10 best experience. They kept me updated and informed with every part of my custom order. Even before placing the order they made sure I knew there would be a delay. They let me know as soon as the order was started and as soon as it was completed. The shoes far exceeded my expectations and are absolutely amazing. Well worth the wait and beyond comfortable.

...it's how you get up

It's not how you fall. it's how you get up. Did my order take an obscenely long time to fufill, yes. However, at every step, the team was communicative, forthcoming, transparent, and authentic. More importantly, my custom shoes (and my wifes) are all here now, and we have never gone out and have not gotten multiple compliments. The fit and finish are well beyond the price charged. So, factor the delay as a cost for quality and craftmanship. And if you are still salty, then order more pairs (more regularly) so that every few months you randomly get a pair of swish creeps that you forgot you ordered. As they say, good things come to those that wait, and I have no qualms waiting for kicks from Underground England.

Buyers from mainland China want to say something~

How should I put it~ As a buyer from mainland China, it is already very difficult to log in to their website, and the shopping process and waiting time for logistics are very painful, but fortunately, everything is worth it after receiving the shoes. But I also suggested that they improve product quality and service quality, and I might become a loyal customer.

I really recommend this wonderful brand

I had I short delayed with my pair of shoes. But they finally arrived at my home. I love the quality of this brand and our the historical influence they have. I really recommend this shop. This is my 5th pair of shoes. I got my first pair 10 year ago and today I still use them, so just imagine the amazing they are.

Good product but ask if they have it in stock beforehand

EDIT: I'm posting an edit as Underground's customer service did reach me out and sent me another pair of boots to make up for the late delivery. I received the extra pair 2 weeks after the call. They explained that they have been relocating their factory and warehouse causing a lot of delay. I received the boots I ordered 2 month later. So it took 4 months to get my boots but I got compensated with an extra one and considering their price (275£) I find this quite fair. I'm thus updating my overall experience back to 4 as the product is very good quality and CS took the time to call me and compensate me.

Original:
***I ordered a 275£ pair of boots in may 2023.
2 months later and over 30 emails with the support I don’t know what’s the status of my delivery. I can’t get refunded because the support is ghosting me.
I basically got stolen 275£. This company is a fraud, avoid at all cost ***

I ordered some boots back in December

I ordered some boots back in December 2022, and have contacted customer service multiple times for a follow up and requested refund. I'm always told they would speak to the manager, or they will check the status of the custom order. Was told on 3 separate accounts in Dec, March, and May it was currently in the warehouse and in production, and still have received nothing. I've already asked for refund multiple times and always get the run around. At this point I don't even want the boots, or to deal with their business. DO NOT ORDER HERE and report these guys to econsumer.gov and whatever else to get this place investigated. plenty of reviews here complaining about the same issues.

Money stolen - do not shop here!

Please refer to my previous reviews of these scammers, particularly 19/4 where they responded and claimed that they were dealing with my issue via email, also a previous review and response where they lied and said I had ignored their messages telling me my boots were ready. Guess what - 7 months later and no refund and no boots! What a surprise! Do not shop here- they will steal your money and when you try to warn others they will first try to report your review as a false review ( nice try, I have all the evidence of your theft and order number etc) and will try to accuse you of lying ( again, try all you want I have evidence of all messages, payment etc) SCAMMERS and THIEVES! Shop here at your own risk!! (Order number #2024326 $406.94 AUD stolen)
