Worst Shoe Company - Scam
I ordered extra wide dress shoes for a wedding. They shipped from Pakistan and when I got them they were massive. I asked for an exchange. Said I received the correct size until I showed them a photo of my foot next to the show (almost twice my size). Then I received the dutys/tariff invoice that isnt included in the price and I had to pay for it. I then requested a return since I wouldnt get the new pair before the wedding and they ghosted me. Do not trust them. Buy your shoes elsewhere. I eventually got the replacement shoes and they were not the same style, not the extra wide but finally the correct size. UPDATE 8/20/26: The company's response below contains several factual inaccuracies, so I am updating my review with the documented timeline. Your response leaves out several important facts that are documented in our email correspondence. I ordered a US size 10 in 4E extra-wide width. In fact, your own May 8 email states that my order was for a US size 10 in 4E width. What I actually received was nowhere close to a size 10. I measured the original shoe at approximately 13 3/8 inches long and sent you photos showing my foot next to the shoe. At the time, I told you it appeared closer to a US size 18 than a US size 10. Only after I provided photographic evidence did your team acknowledge the sizing discrepancy and agree to make a replacement. The timeline is also important. On May 15, you told us the replacement would ship the following Wednesday. On May 26, I had to follow up because I still had not received tracking information. On May 28, you apologized for the delay and told me the replacement had only shipped earlier that week. By that point, the delay had already caused a problem. I needed these shoes for the tailoring and final fitting of my suit for a wedding the following week. Because I could no longer rely on receiving them in time, I had to purchase another pair of dress shoes elsewhere at an additional expense. At 6:53 AM on May 28, I specifically requested a full refund and a prepaid return label. Your response at 6:59 AM that same day said that if the replacement was delivered, you would provide a return label so that I could return both pairs for a refund. I followed up again on June 3, specifically requesting a full refund because I still had no return label and had also received an unexpected FedEx customs/duties invoice for the original shipment. On June 4, you again stated in writing that once the replacement was delivered, you would send me a return label and that after the return was received, you would initiate my refund. So your statement here that you "did not hear back" from me after May is simply incorrect. I then followed up again on July 26 asking for the return labels for both pairs. I received no response. That also makes the claim that I simply waited three months and then suddenly requested a return in August extremely misleading. I had already requested the refund in May, requested it again in June, and was waiting for the prepaid return labels that your company repeatedly said it would provide. There was also the unexpected FedEx invoice for customs duties and taxes, which your June 4 email confirmed were separate from the amount paid at checkout. And after all of this, the replacement pair still was not what I originally ordered. The replacement is finally the correct general shoe size, but it is not the same material/style as the original shoe and it is not the extra-wide fit I ordered. So yes, I stand by the substance of my review. I ordered a size 10 4E shoe. I received a massively oversized shoe. The replacement took so long that I had to buy another pair for the wedding. I was charged unexpected customs duties. I repeatedly requested the return labels and refund your company said it would provide. And the eventual replacement still did not match what I originally ordered. This experience reflects an extremely poor quality-control and customer-service process. At multiple stages, the size, timing, communication, return process, and replacement product were handled incorrectly.
Response from Rebels MarketAug 20, 2026
We’re disappointed to see this described as a scam, as that does not reflect what happened with this order. The shoes were custom made in the size requested and delivered in April 2026. When you told us they did not fit as expected, we offered two options: a replacement at no additional cost or a full refund with a return shipping label. You chose the replacement, so we proceeded to make a new custom pair for you. After the replacement had already been dispatched and was approximately three days into transit, you asked us to cancel it. We explained that we could no longer cancel or reroute a custom order once it had been dispatched. We did not hear back from you after that communication in May. You contacted us again in August, approximately three months later, requesting to return the replacement and asking us to cover the return shipping. Our return window is 30 days, so we were unable to accommodate a return at that stage. We understand that the outcome was not what you wanted, but we do not believe it is fair to characterize this experience as a scam. We made the original custom order in the requested size, offered both a refund and a free replacement when you reported a fit issue, produced and shipped the replacement you selected, and communicated when it was too late to stop the shipment. We genuinely work hard to resolve issues for our customers, but there are limits to what we can reasonably accommodate months after a custom replacement has been produced and delivered. We stand by the way we handled this order.
