Score
This company cannot pay to remove reviews or change its score.
This is another Chinese company that sells junk that you are unable to return since the shipping cost back to China is more than what you will pay for the "shoes".
The website does not mention where returns must be sent.
Buyer beware! Do not buy from this company!

This is not a real company
This is not a real company, they do not sell products.
I ordered shoes from them, they took my money, the shoes never came. I wrote them and they sent me a tracking number and told me to take it up with their private shipping company "ONTRAC" who when I called I just heard an old man heavily breathing into the phone while he "investigated" and then after long enough of a pause said "no there appears to be GPS proof of delivery please seek a resolution with the vendor" and immediately hung up with a tinge of shame in his voice like he was hiding something. Anyway after emailing 2 more times with the vendor, CALCEUS, they said "Sorry but our hands are tied here. According to our company's policy, we can't issue refund for fail delivery. As the ONTRAC said it had GPS proof of delivery.I totally understand your feeling but we can do nothing."
A GPS proof of delivery is something I don't have and am taking their word for. there's no photo of it inside my place, I never got an email saying "your package has arrived" no phone call. nothing. I gave them my money, the shoes never got here, then they told me "their hands are tied".
don't fall for this scam of a company.
they will take your money,
you will not get your product.

Slick website but wrong sizing & costly to return; good reviews are fake
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THEIR POSITIVE REVIEWS ON TRUST PILOT: THOSE ARE FAKE. NOTICE ALL THE "EXCELLENT" VIEWS HAVE BLATANT AND SIMILAR GRAMMATICAL AND SPELLING ERRORS INDICATING THEY WERE ALL WRITTEN BY THE SAME PERSON OR TEAM; MULTIPLE "EXCELLENT" REVIEWS UPLOADED EVERY DAY AT ROUGHLY THE SAME TIME (more details below).
My REAL review: My order number was 20143100 on September 7, 2021. This company has a slick website and nice photos but reality is different. Items not true to size. I ordered two pairs of shoes, both size 9. The shipping label to me was from Vernon California. One shoe was much smaller than size 9 and the other was larger; neither shoe fits. When I requested a replacement calceus said I had to ship the shoes back to an address in China with tracking, which costs more than the shoes (although they shipped the shoes to me from a California warehouse). I researched and the company is "offshore everywhere", registered in Cyprus (meaning a nameplate on a wall somewhere in Nicosia), no identifiable address, owners, factory, etc. don't be fooled like I was, avoid this company.
also they only post positive reviews on their own website so that's not accurate.
Below I have quoted verbatim from the "excellent" trustpilot reviews for calceus.org, you can see that every "excellent" review has the same types of grammatical and spelling errors. Examples:
"These Quick-dry shoes are fit nicely..."
"To confortable to wear them"
"I recommend this for anyone who really enjoy the outdoors"
Be advised: being a non-native English speaker myself I would NEVER make light of someone else's honest grammar or spelling mistakes. My purpose is to show clearly (and I hope trustpilot is reading this) that all these "excellent" reviews are fake and uploaded by the same person or same team of fake review writers overseas.
Also, notice that virtually all the trustpilot reviews are either "excellent" or "bad" with nothing in between. If the reviews were legitimate we would expect a normal distribution with most reviews at some level and gradual fall-off from that level, not extreme sharp peaks at either end of the distribution.

“Handmade leather”= FAKE, FAUX LEATHER
They use the term “Handmade leather”, but it’s FAKE, FAUX leather. If you want to do a return be prepared to go to the post office and spend half the shoe’s cost to return it.
Use your current shoes and run away.
BTW, low ratings or bad reviews don’t show-up on their website so the level of customer satisfaction is a lie.

Horrible customer service!
Horrible customer service!
Ordered water shoes and they arrived and I could not even fit my foot inside. Took three weeks to receive (no mention of direct shipping from China on website, nor any mention of return addresses).
Only two return address available (Canada and China) and would cost exorbitant amount to send product back (more than half of what I paid to return it).
After forwarding my concerns to their customer service, I was told that the company is not responsible for customer mistakes! I made NO MISTAKE, I ordered the same size shoes I always wear on a day to day basis. I have several pairs of this size and the only issue I've had was with this company and the fitting of their shoe size. After several back and forth messages, I was offered 10% partial refund that amounted to a little less than $6 and to keep the shoes. SERIOUSLY??
BUYER BEWARE!!
SHOES DO NOT FIT PROPERLY
NO RETURNS AVAILABLE UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND $30+ TO RETURN IT!!

BUYER BEWARE!!!!
Calceus should be classified as a 'Lottery', you will throw your money to them with with NO RETURN for your purchase. I received mine 3 weeks after promised, will not fit, have tried to return for the past 2 weeks with no response to my request, even their phone number listed on their website is a 'fax' number.
BUYER BEWARE!!!!

Horrible customer service
Horrible customer service. I waited 2 months. Still no shoes. After 12 emails they finally responded and said my order was returned due to wrong address....... my address is listed 2 places on my property and last name on mail box. And they have the balls to say they won’t returned my money and want to charge me an extra $25 dollars to just get my order. Horrible horrible customer service. Can’t Somme t on the shoes I bought as I am barefoot over here!!
