Underground England Arvostelua 

I was initially hesitant to order from Underground England because I had read some negative reviews online. As an Australian customer, I was particularly concerned about ordering internationally and what would happen if there were any issues.

Before ordering, I reached out with a few questions and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly they responded. The communication was warm, helpful, and prompt, with replies arriving within hours.

My pikes arrived safely in Australia, and I absolutely love them. The quality is excellent, they look gorgeous, and they have quickly become one of my favourite pairs of shoes.

I can’t speak to other people’s experiences, and I don’t want to dismiss any difficulties they may have had. I can only comment on my own experience, which was very positive from start to finish. Perhaps some of the issues mentioned in older reviews have since been addressed, or perhaps I was simply fortunate, but I wanted to share my experience for anyone who may be feeling uncertain about ordering.

Based on my experience, I would happily order from them again.

I was wary of this company for years. I let reviews of the past dictate my business. I ordered a pair of 10 eye exposed steel toes they are perfect. The communication service was above board. I received a tracking number the day after I ordered. The five stars are well deserved. Ive had boots similar to this style come in with no tongue that I would have to get a correct false. I am happy to report the boots I received have a tongue! The price point could be taken issue with but I feel the quality and service made up for it in full.

Ordered 2 pairs in february. Received the pairs after quite a wait and ran into problems with the sizing. As I contacted the customer service about my issue with the sizing of the first pair and that I would like to wait the other resized pair to assume what size I need to avoid unnecessary shipping if they don´t fit again I was ensured that they prolong my exchange timer so I can properly assume the sizing and exchange later. The second order that arrived came in damaged, incomplete and had issues with consistency between sizes and I once again turned to the customer service the same day I received my order to get an update on my issues for a proper exchange. I have been told several times to get an answer within a day and effectively ignored ever since for over an entire month even though I recontacted them several times.

Now I´m left with a huge loss of money and no shoes I can actually wear because of the sizing issues and it is just systimetically ignored. At this point and with the other comments it seems to be on purpose to first ensure a prolonged return time and than let the official return period run out, although promising to elongate it.
I will probably have to consult other parties and am in a lot of stress. I actually would have loved to get my shoes with proper sizing and be a retruning customer as I really like the actual design.
But at this point I have to agree with the other reviews and warn about this to be intended scam and untrustworthy.
I doubt the companies replies here can be believed, but for the highest benefit of the doubt, if anything actually changed I will give an Update here.

A few months ago I purchased a pair of black suede creepers and went to wear them recently but realised the back trim of the right shoe was a bit wonky so I thought I would purchase another pair to see if they were better and just send one pair back. When the shoes arrived I wasn’t happy with the changes they have made to them, the insole instead of soft black material is now a weird shiny grey colour and doesn’t feel very nice so I thought great these will have to go straight back and I guess I will just keep my original ones. They did offer to send me a pair from their older stock but I thought it was too much messing around as I was going to send one pair back anyway. On the underground website it is very hard to find the returns policy if at all so I googled it and it said I had to email them to ask for a returns code which I did. Reply’s are very slow and the website is quite dated so it’s always glitching which is a nightmare. I finally got a reply and it seemed I did not need a returns code, they just gave me an address to return the shoes to. You have to cover postage for returns and it cost me about £8 to send it tracked. I had confirmation that the shoes had been delivered so I thought I’d be refunded within a week or so but I wasn’t so I emailed to ask how long it would take and I was given very vague answers as to how long it would take, instead of just explaining their returns policy which I could not find on their website they just simply told me to read the terms and conditions even though I had already told them I could not find any returns information on there. Two weeks after the shoes had been delivered to their warehouse I still have not been refunded so I had to resort to asking PayPal to step in. Underground reply and say they have told me how long it would be…but they haven’t and finally say it’s usually around three weeks!? Their lack of communication and ridiculously long return processes have left me feeling extremely stressed. I know they are a smaller business than most but on what planet does it take three weeks to open a box, check it and issue a refund? It seems more likely they just want to keep hold of your money for as long as possible. After a few days they emailed me saying they would refund me if I closed the PayPal case which I was not comfortable doing as it would leave me in a vulnerable position so I decided to escalate the claim myself and eventually PayPal issued me with the refund. I had planned to buy another two pairs of shoes this year but after experiencing their outdated lengthily return process and the changes to the insoles I most definitely will not be doing that. Watch the sizes as well because a few years ago I purchased some custom Mary Jane creepers and they were so big they would just flop off my feet even with two pairs of thick socks, completely unwearable but I couldn’t return them as they were customs. I ended up selling them for a fraction of the price as I had to make potential buyers aware they were such a wide fit.

Waiting 7 weeks for boots meant to be with me in 3 days. Nobody answers emails and phone line is down. Absolute jokers.
Order nr 44192

I got two pairs. They are both very well made and comfortable.

I ordered the steel toe's from UK to Latvia, they ceme in two weeks, which is fast, and the shoe quality is amazing!!! Also the customer service did a good job with all the info!

Ordered a pair of shoes 9 months ago and have never received them tried to email but never received a reply just moved house so I don’t think I will be able to get them now that’s £300 wasted

I ordered a custom pair of shoes back at the end of April, while it was quite the journey to finally get them (2 weeks ago) I am satisfied with my order and appreciate the craftmanship that went in them.
You'll have to be incredibly patient if you want a custom pair tho and forget about the announced timeframe they give you.

I love Undergound England and their products and think that the company has great potential.

That being said, the company staff definitely needs to be more careful in their communication with customers and willingness to listen to them.

I had a constant issue with a staff member telling me that they would reach out to me for an update on the status of my order " tomorrow " or in " 48h " only for them to go radio silence..and when I reached out to ask what happened a month after our initial contact and still no tangible piece of information.

They would apologize and tell me that they'll give me an update on X date, only to do it all over again...it got quite exhausting to the point I got a refund on my order.

But thanks to Leo that was really helpful through the whole thing.

Other unpleasant issue I encountered was when I promptly said that I had problems with a transporter in the past and wanted to know if it was possible to switch to another courier.

I was dismissed and I ended up having the same problem I was trying to avoid with my package being delivered in another city as mine..As as I said customer care staff needs to listen more.. cause this wasn't necessary and could have been avoided.

Otherwise my custom shoe came out beautifully and I'm very happy with the final result !

I ordered a pair of custom 30 eye Para via the custom tool online with support of the customer services team.
The ordering process was simple and ment you can get exactly what you want, something which is impossible via any other retailer.
Only issue is the initial indicted 6 week delivery turned into about 13 weeks although the team kept me upto date evey week or two. I wouldn't have had an issue with 13 weeks but this sort of thing can really stress out some people. It worked well as I had PayPal paid in 3 so they were paid for easily by the time I received them.
Ill order again, lots of styles I like. Recommend for those whom are patient.
Main feedback would be to not over promise on time. I think the quality and price point is right and there are few custom footwear services whom can deliver in less than 3 months anyway.

On Aug 25, I bought a pair boots on their site, marked explicitly “in stock.” On Aug 30, customer service wrote: “your boots are currently being moved from our UK warehouse to our EU hub, and they will arrive there this coming week.”

After two weeks of no delivery and me chasing twice, on Sept 9 they admitted: “They were not physically in stock and could not be transferred.” That directly contradicts both the “in stock” label and their earlier promise.

They ignored my Sept 1 email asking for a shipping estimate, only responding after further follow-ups on Sept 8–9. The final offer was to “wait another two weeks” with a “gift,” which is meaningless when the product was never in stock and the prior update was false.

This is not a delay it's a scam: false “in stock,” a fabricated timeline, and poor communication, all while holding my money hostage.

If you value honesty and reliable fulfillment, avoid Underground England.

Update addressing the reply from the business:

Being independent doesn’t absolve you from shady business practices.

On Aug 30, your representative wrote that the boots are being transferred to the EU warehouse. I directly quoted the email. Today, on Sept 9, it turned out that the boots weren’t even in stock, let alone transferred to any warehouse in the EU. So was that not a lie? Where are the false claims? I provided direct quotes with dates from our correspondence.

Instead of crafting this sad attempt of a rebuttal, further proving your absolute lack of decency and professionalism, you should’ve directed your energies and efforts towards the steps you’ll be taking internally to eliminate these shady business practices.

To steer this into a constructive direction, here are a few tips:
- provide real information about your stock on your website.
- do not make up stories, giving false hope to your costumers.
- answer EVERY email sent by your costumers.
- take accountability when you’re in the wrong.
- and finally, let the customer, who your representatives mislead, know what steps will you take so a situation like this never happens to anyone else again, instead of trying to save face.

My original review still stands.

Thee end result was a beautifully custom crafted product. Took slightly longer than expectancy ov what I was informed ov, although communication was constant and personal. Slightly tight fit, although I expect to stretch slightly to fit wonderfully; eventually when I finally do wear as they will be my dress shoes..

The personnel at Underground Shoes were very helpful & attentive. They contacted me to keep me up to date with how my shoes were coming on.
Yep very much pressed. And for a custom made custom made pair of shoes, these worked out quite cheap. Yes, I would recommend Underground Shoes to everybody.

I've always loved the look of the external steel cap and I've typically alwayd worn 30 eyes. I had ordered a pair of 20 eye external caps back in February and I was impressed with the quality and comfort. I later noticed that there were options to customize an order. I decided to place another order for a pair of black leather 30 eyes with external cap. The company was extremely helpful and prompt at keeping me informed about the progress of my order. Always friendly and available, I know that any questions I have regarding future orders will be answered in a timely manner.
My new 30s look excellent and I'm loving both pairs of boots I've ordered through Underground England! I would definitely recommend and I know where to go when I'm ready to order again!

Los zapatos customizados llegaron tal cual los pedí, preciosos y de buena calidad, como siempre, soy usuario de la marca desde hace años y no han bajado el standard.

I bought a padlock and I absolutely love it. I had to wait a few days extra because the item had to be moved from the UK to the EU warehouse but it was worth the wait. The team at Underground England is very friendly and helpful - great customer experience!

I have just received the most amazing pair of shoes, spotty creepers with red accents. What's not to love. The quality of the product is fantastic for the price point. After owning a pair of cheaper creepers and being disappointed in pretty much everything about them, I chose to replace them with a UK original brand with a top pedigree. Yes, in these times of constantly rising prices, I had to save for a couple of months but I knew that they would be a great investment. Yes, I had a delay in my delivery. But I can tell you that my contact with customer services was supportive and engaged. My autistic need for clear communication without BS was fulfilled. In fact waiting a few days longer increased my excitement and the dopamine rush on receipt of these beauties added to how epic the shoes actually are. Oh and the shoes were even better than I anticipated. I am one happy customer. Thank you Underground shoes, you rock!

I ordered my creeper shoes from the underground and my experience was great! The customer service people stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process and were extremely helpful. Gave me a tracking number once it arrived to the USA. The shoes made it successfully to Compton California and I am pleased! Great job.

Great product, excellent and fast service!

I placed an order from Underground over a year ago and still have not received my order. I sent multiple emails to customer service and didn’t receive any updates on my order. I regret ever ordering from
Underground. Now I just want my money back.
