Fake vans
I bought a pair of Vans for my kid and I’m pretty sure they’re knock offs. The shoe doesn’t look right. I compared the shoe on line and it doesn’t even have the same details.

I ordered a pair of shoes and, of course, they took my money right away. Almost three weeks later, I get an email stating my order will arrive the next day. My order never arrived and fedex stopped tracking the package almost two weeks ago. I asked for a coupon or something to make it right, but that request was refused. I asked for a refund. After they took my money almost immediately after I placed my order, they tell me that I have to wait several days for my refund. Their customer service staff, both on the phone and on chat, are the least caring reps I've ever dealt with. All they did was deflect to fedex (who has stopped tracking the package). I don't like being jerked around, and these people are the best at it that I've ever experienced. Just order your shoes from Dick's Sporting goods. They have better availability and curbside pickup.

We waited in line for 23 minutes to purchase 3 pairs of shoes. There was one cashier and she was dealing with a single client for the full 23 minutes. She looked at us several times and never called for a second cashier. There were at least 3 other employees working, one of which went outside and got something from her car who looked right at us. Needless to say we left and they lost $174 in sales. We won't be back.

I wanted to buy a pair of Birkenstocks as a Christmas gift. I would have went to the Birkenstock website but the one's i wanted were sold out everywhere but shoe carnival. I have been inside of a physical shoe carnival store before so i thought it was legit. however, when I receive the package, the shoe box was literally ripped in half and torn up. I didn't think much of it and figured it was from the delivery process. But after seeing the actual shoes. They are obviously worn. The shoe is suede and half the suede is ruined/ has bald spots. The rim around the sole is also scuffed and the shoe has lost its shape. please never order from this website.

Like many others, I am very disappointed with Shoe Carnival; I should have read these reviews before ordering. Instead of the men's Pumas I ordered several weeks ago, I received a pair of boys' Nike Kyries. Since then, the communications from their customer service department have been deplorable. Days pass without replies to my emails, then I receive a generic reply that does not answer my questions. They said they'd send return labels (said they'd sent several) that never came through; then I called and they told me I could mail the shoes and I'd be reimbursed. Now I learn that the reimbursement comes in the form of a Shoe Carnival gift card. No thanks! I am still waiting on some kind of confirmation that the returned shoes (mailed 2-day USPS on 11/24) have been received and that my original order has been mailed ... though I'm not optimistic.

This was my first and last time shopping here. The shoes I purchased were uncomfortable as I had worn them around the house a few times to see if they would be comfortable enough to work in, they were not. I went to return them and was accused of returning dirty shoes and they weren't even dirty. My house isn't dirty because we don't allow shoes and I never wore them outside. It seems the cashier was just trying to weasel out of accepting the return. I was so shocked and humiliated. I couldn't say anything. I just wanted my refund. I got the refund because the manager came over. I had even planned to look around for something else, but after this interaction I changed my mind. This is the number one reason why I stick to mainly shopping on Amazon because of the terrible customer service that has become too common in places like this.

I ordered a pair of sketcher D'lites for my best friend. Upon receiving the shoes the paper inside the box was ripped, the shoes were laced incorrectly and the shoes were dirty, they sent used shoes. I contacted customer service and was sent a return label in minutes. Giving shoe carnival a chance to make it right I ordered another pair, paid for expedited shipment. My BF received the shoes within 2 days. This time the shoes were even worse than the first time, it was obvious the shoes had been worn, the soles of the shoes were very dirty on the bottom. Again I contacted customer service and was emailed a return label. I will not ever order from shoe carnival again. What business charges full price and ships used shoes. I'm very disappointed and embarrassed that my best friend was sent used shoes, I mean what business does that? My best friend had to make two trips to FedEx to return the shoes, this is very poor business practice and the company should be ashamed to allow such actions to their customers. I do not recommend ordering shoes from this company, if I wanted used shoes I could have went to a thrift store, so unacceptable. My advice is do not order from this store, I gave them two chances to make it right and got disappointed twice. If they can't send new shoes don't accept the order and charging a customer full price for used shoes is misleading and fraud, close your stores and stop misleading customers.
