Do not expect to get a refund from these people. I got in contact with them the minute I wanted to process a return. It has been nearly two weeks now and I'm still battling for a return.
Currently, the manager is telling me that if I want to process a return, I need to donate the shoes and provide evidence of donation.
To make things better, the CEO of this company is boasting about how he became a millionaire on his youtube channel.
Edit: Reply to "Reply from MLO"
What your manager should give me is a return shipping label at your expense.
Also, regarding your CEO, Claytano - if he spends a third of the time he spends playing auto-chess-mobile on improving customer service, maybe you wouldn't be here doing damage control.

Hey there Sherine, thanks for getting in touch! We do encourage our customers to donate their shoes at this time to those in need in our effort to give back to the community that built us, but if you would rather proceed with a return our manager can give you the address of your warehouse instead. Just let her know you would like to proceed with this and we'll get that arranged for you!
Regarding our CEO, Claytano - as someone who was a content creator before building this company, his content now leans more towards speaking about his experiences as an entrepreneur and the story of MLO - not at all his own profit. He's transparent about the worth of the brand and what it took to create that, as well as the philanthropy and awareness he has been able to bring about in turn.

Scam Company
This company is a scam and will do everything not to give you a refund. I bought a pair of shoes and the shoes did not fit so I wanted to exchange them at first. I reached out to the email provided on the website and never got a response. Then I emailed again about just returning them for my refund and still no response. It was only after I made a complaint on Facebook the company reached back out to me claiming they didn't receive my emails but I provided screenshots as proof that I did email them.
The company then said that the are trying a new way to handle returns so we can cut the usps process by having customers donate the shoes to charity and then provide proof that is done and then my refund would be processed. Of course I thought that would be a great deed so I accepted this return options. After providing proof that I donated the shoes to charity the company has ghosted me. I have reached out several times but of course now there is no response. The customer services is terrible and they are full of lies. I will never buy from this company again.
Update: After days of no response from this company I finally made several social media complaints and reviews and then they magically decided to response back through Facebook. Refund was finally received but I still will never deal with this company again. I shouldn't have to make complaints and reviews on social media in order to receive a refund.

Hey there - it sounds like there must be an issue with your emails reaching us (or vice versa) for some reason! We would be happy to get your return processed and the refund sent to you right away. I'll reach out via Trustpilot personally to get this put through!
EDIT: We've reached out and are awaiting a response!

So much disappointment - 9/4/21
Terrible, they sent the wrong shoe size. I paid for two day ups shipping and got it 5 days later. I asked why it took so long and they never responded. I have also emailed and messages them for a refund and still haven’t gotten a response. Not to mention the shoes were made from cheap materials! DONT BUY MLO SHOES! It seems to me that they are a scam with everything.
Edit - After 3 days
I was contacted via email and we talked for a few days. They pretty much said that I can return or exchange the shoes. I said I wanted to return the shoes for a full refund and they asked me to send pictures to make sure the shoe was fine, it was a size 5 and I’m size 10, I obviously didn’t use it or do anything to it. After I sent the pictures they thanked me for it and sent me another email asking me to change the review about bad materials and everything else I said… I’m not changing it, I still think they’re a scam, they ghosted me again, the shoes suck and the customer support is terrible. In the same email they also asked me if I wanted to to return or exchange the shoes for a second time. I responded return for a full refund and I haven’t heard from them since. They ghosted me again. If it isn’t already clearer I highly advise to stay away from this company for many obvious reasons!
2nd Edit - 5/6 days after 1st edit
It seems like you have to right a review to get there attention because they just don’t seem to care. I’d send an email about how to get a refund. They’d say they were in the middle of changing their policy. Such a coincidence by the way. They tell me I have to donate them and send proof of me doing so. I send another email asking if I can drop the shoes in a container. It’s a donations container that people put anything they want to donate in and every week or two, I’m not sure, they would pick it up and send it to a shelter. I asked if I can drop the shoes in there and send a video of me doing so as proof and 2 days go by. They then give me a terrible answer that doesn’t help me saying as long as I donate them and show proof I will get a refund. But knowing how this company is I didn’t want to do anything yet, they’d probably bring up a bs excuse like every other time, so I asked clearly that if I was able to use that as a method to donate and that the proof would be a video of me placing the shoes in the container. And they haven’t responded. I’m almost positive this was on purpose as it wasn’t the first time and they most likely wanted the 10 day refund period to run out. So now I have some shoes that are made of what seems like trash and worst part, the wrong size! This company is very irresponsible and isn’t honest with its customers. It was so difficult just trying to get them to answer my emails! If you are looking for shoes that are actually good quality, comfortable, and look nice, I suggest buying the new balance foam runner. I was happy with that purchase, but to be honest you can order shoes from anywhere este because from my experience I’m almost 10000% sure they will be better and the interactions with the company would be better as well. Seeing how customers get treated and what the shoes really are, I hope word gets out about the company so everyone will know to not buy any of its products. This might seem as ram exaggeration or that I’m really mad but not only has it happened to multiple people but companies have a standard for these things. The products can be terrible but that’s why there’s a refund system and policy. THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF CHANGING THE POLICY. They should know how to handle refunds and customer interactions just like any other company even if they are a new company. They can do the same as any company with good customer support/service. I say this again, don’t buy the shoes or at this point any product. Go to New Balance, Nike, Sketchers, or wherever else but here for shoes. If I can tell everyone in the world a message anonymously, I’d say stay away from this company.🤣🤦♂️
I also just saw that an MLO representative left a comment explaining the shipping. I don’t know if it was mentioned and if I skipped through it but it’s still understandable, just mention it more. And your saying that your emails don’t match up with what I’m saying… 😂Ok I can send screen shots and screen recordings if you want me to show the emails, explain them and back myself up. And for others reading this part of the message, please look at the other 1 star reviews as they are all similar.

Hey there Kenneth, I'm really sorry to hear of your experience! Please be aware that the shipping option specifies how long the order will take to reach you once dispatched - we still need one to two business days to process and fulfill your order. It does sound like you may be reaching out to the wrong email, or there's an issue with you contacting us however - I've reached out via Trustpilot personally to ensure we make this right!
EDIT - I looked into the emails we have here and it doesn't seem to match up with the updated review. I can't see anything from our team asking you to change your review. Our team also responded to you several times and at no point have ghosted you in this process! Sorry for any confusion that may have been caused while getting your return arranged, but I hope this has now been dealt with and your donation will be put through in the next day or so.

Do NOT purchase from this company
I had high expectations for the shoe but it did not meet those expectations and I was okay with that. Everything was normal until now. I am trying to return and receive my refund and this company has basically ghosted me, after changing their return policy in the midst of my return.
This company said they rather have me donate the shoes to an organization and show proof of receipt because it is more convenient (for them) to not have to deal with the post office. This doesn’t even apply to their refund policy listed on the site.
I decided to oblige because yes, people need shoes, however now that I have, customer support has not responded to me and I have reached out 3 days this week.
It’s poor customer service and it feels like this company is a scam. It is not the money it is the principle. Do what you say you are going to do when you are going to do it. I highly recommend, do NOT buy from this company…..
Response from Men's Luxury OutletAug 25, 2021
Hey there, I'm sorry to hear of your frustrations with our new policy. I believe when you mentioned the convenience of dealing with the post office you may have misunderstood - we didn't deal with the post office ourselves for returns previously. Our CER likely advised you that donating the shoes would be more convenient for you rather than dealing with the post office. Apologies for any confusion there! As for the policy itself, we're striving to continue on our mission to give back to the community and make a positive impact on the world. I'm really glad to hear that you are a part of that and helped someone in need! There does seem to have been an issue with your emails reaching us however - I've contacted you through Trustpilot to see if I can locate these and ensure that your refund is processed immediately.

Very low quality for a high price
Very low quality for a high price, and they make you jump through hoops to return them. Don't waste your money and time.

I ordered a pair of shoes on July 9th
I ordered a pair of shoes on July 9th. They shipped on July 15th. Haven’t received those. I ordered a second pair on July 26th and received those on July 29th. Tell me how that makes sense. I can’t even track the first pair because they didn’t provide a courier.
Response from Men's Luxury OutletAug 2, 2021
Hey there Stefaon - sorry to hear of the shipping issues with your order! We are seeing some small delays depending on which of our warehouses the shoes ship from at the moment, which we suspect is due to the current issues stemming from the Delta variant. This is something we're working on resolving but for the time being, however, there should definitely be a tracking link with you for any and all updates on your package. I'm reaching out via Trustpilot to make sure that's been sent out!
