Bought a pair of Doc Martens and followed their steps exactly for the 110% price guarantee because I found the same shoes for significantly less. Received email stating they were refusing to pricematch stating other site didn't have a size 11 shoe. I ordered a US 12 (UK 11) pair of shoes and the other site showed a 12 in stock and they are a US store and if they didn't clearly indicate whether it was US or UK it only makes sense they were advertising the US size. Sent two emails to shoebuy.com stating that the other site had matching size and that I needed a response and from them within 2 days, and that was over a week ago and they refuse to respond. I refused shipment and will be disputing charge with my credit card company. Pretty poor service when I followed all the steps of the price guarantee exactly.

I have had the worst experience with shoebuy.com! I ordered a pair of shoes for a friend to be sent to her as a gift on June 3rd. Today is the 18th and I was just notified that they have been shipped. For the past two weeks I have been waiting for that email and I called customer service about 4 times, each time the line was busy. I emailed customer service 5 times, and got one response saying I will get another email in 24 hrs. That never happened. I am so furious, finally I talked to someone and they gave me no explanation on what happened to my order. I only hope they actaully get there at some point. Bottom line, I would not advise shopping at shoebuy.com, they are unreliable and their customer service department is unreachable and not helpful.

I recently ordered two pairs of shoes from shoebuy.com and I am very satisfied with both transactions. They both came promptly and I was able to track their expected date of delivery via the provided tracking number which makes things very convenient. One pair of shoes that I ordered didn't fit so I had to exchange; it wasn't a hassle at all and I was worried about it after reading some of the more negative reviews below. They paid the return shipping and send a confirmation when they received the return. It was fast and easy. I would definitely shop with shoebuy again.

Ordered shoes from the store for the first time.. THese were not available in nearby local stores. But I knew the product that I wanted to buy.  
 
Although they say on their website that the shoes will ship in 5 business day, It got shipped the following day itself.  
 
and I received it fairly quickly. Very satisifed with the complete transaction, and good price too.

So far, I have placed three orders with Shoebuy. I've been very impressed on all occasions. Their prices are great. Make sure to take use of coupon codes that you can find simply through Google. There are also a lot of Cash Back opportunities to be had. I will try on the shoe and check the colors at a retailer before making a purchase on ShoeBuy, so I have never had to deal with returning any merchandise. Free shipping can be slow. An order I placed very late on the day April 27th was not shipped until May 1st, and not delivered to me until May 6th. There are options to upgrade the shipping for a cost though. I would highly recommend ShoeBuy based on personal experience!

Never EVER shop at this store. They do not honor their policies. If you need to return something you will be in for a world of grief.  
 
Their Customer Service Rep gave me instructions for returning their shoes that turned out to be incorrect. Shoebuy has kept the shoes and will not refund my $$. I'm out $251.85.  
 
I ordered 5 pairs of shoes. They came in two cartons - one pair in one carton and the other 4 pairs in a second carton. None of the shoes fit.  
 
This company advertises free shipping on returns but they give you only one shipping label per order. I could not fit all the shoes in one carton. I called the Customer Service line and asked what to do. The CS Rep told me to remove the shoes from their shoeboxes so they would all fit in one carton.  
 
Well, it turns out that's not their policy. I had to remove three pairs of shoes from their boxes to fit them all in one carton. They only gave me credit for 2 pairs of shoes.  
 
I called Customer Service again and spoke to a supervisor. She was sympathetic but her boss refused to issue credit. Even though I had the name of the original CSR who gave me the wrong info, and even though they have a recording of the call, they refuse to issue credit.  
 
I've put the item in dispute with my credit card and am about to call the Mass. Attorney General's office but I don't know if I'll ever get my money back.  
 
Stay away from this reseller.

Epilogue:  
I posted this review in April, it is now July. I filed a complaint with the Boston BBB and also the Mass. Atty General's Office. It took months of negotiations on the part of an angel in the Mass. Atty General's Office, but he got me my refund.  
 
I also wrote to the President of the company and did not get a response.  
 
I reiterate: Do NOT buy from this seller! They do not honor their policies or their word. There are other online shoe stores with better selections and excellent customer service.

I can't believe the negative reviews here.I found shoebuy when I was looking for my favorite running socks. They were way cheaper then anywhere else. They arrived quickly and as ordered. Next I saw that an employee discount program at work offered 10% off. I ordered cowboy boots from them and got a discount they were running at the time AND the discount from my job. They boots arrived quickly and I loved them. Next I ordered a gym bag and some Crocs. Again I got some discounts. The Crocs were too big. They happily took them back and made sure I still got the discount on the right size. Very accomadating and again fast delivery.  
Sunday I ordered some hiking boots and found them cheaper elsewhere. I sent along the web site, with a screen shot of the page with my size and the price. Today when I hadn't received email yet I emailed customer service and within an hour had a confirmation that they had received the other request and were crediting my account. I am loving Shoebuy.com. Give them a shot, maybe they are responding to previous negative reviews but so far I am 4 for 4.

The price that I received a new pair of Doc Martens for from Shoebuy.com was unbelievable! Their percent off coupon was the only reason why I gave them a shot, because with the percent off coupon, their price beat the competition. Delivery was on-time and there was not a single hiccup with the whole ordering process. When I am in the market again for shoes, I will give Shoebuy.com a shot, especially if the price is right.

Perfect everything. Cheapest anywhere, fast & free shipping, and awesome quality. Will be a repeat buyer!

I wouldnt normally ever buy shoes online without trying them on first, but I thought due to the free returns policy that it would be okay. So I got my boots delivered and they did not look like the color I ordered but I figure that maybe the picture online just looks different than in person. So I wore the boots around my house for a whole day to see how they feel. The first few hours they felt fine, but after a while they started to pinch my toe. When I woke up the next morning with a swollen toe, I figured I better get the next size. I sent the boots back for an exchange. I got a new box and opened it to see that the color was indeed the color I had originally ordered, but not the color of the boots I got. But then I read the invoice saying that the boots weren't returnable due to "dirty/scuffed soles and heels." Well thats great, now I have SOMEONE ELSE'S worn shoes in the size thats too small. Easy to say I wont ever buy footwear online again, particularly from shoebuy.

I took my chances and ordered from them despite the negative reviews. They had a year-end 20% off sale and the price was great. Shoebuy shipped quite quickly and the shoes fit. Of course, I ordered an Ecco shoe I'd previously owned. Surprisingly, the shoe was shipped directly from Ecco--my home address as the shipping address and Shoebuy as the billing/account address. This may explain the difficulties with returns--in my case Shoebuy never stocked the shoe. If I'd returned it, they'd have been quite unhappy and not really had anywhere to put the shoe. Shoebuy essentially loaned me their Ecco account for a fee of about 50% markup--compared to 100% ("Keystone") markup at most retail stores. Bottom line--if you know it will fit and you'll like it, go for it; if you aren't sure--go to a family shoe store and make a "shoedog" (I was one in college) happy.

I placed an order this morning for a pair of pumps. I immediately sent the pricematch email with the required information. So far no response on the PM.  
 
I wish I had read these reviews before I placed my order. Other online shoe merchants with PM policies have you call in for the PM and you get it immediately. It seems Shoebuy delays the PM by not checking the email quickly, giving the shoes time to sell out/go out of stock at the other store.  
 
Once I saw these reviews, I immediately called the 1-800 customer service number to cancel my order. Over and over again, the line was either busy, or I was connected to an ad for a chat line then disconnected. The 1-800 number doesn't even connect to Shoebuy.  
 
I hope these shoes fit, cuz I think otherwise I'm screwed...I just got my shipment confirmation email, so even if I could get through to Shoebuy, cancellation is off the table.  
 
UPDATE:  
 
I got my "your order is not eligible" cheaper shoe is out of stock email today...24 hours after I placed my order. The shoe was in stock a full 12 hours after I placed my order, of course they waited until it was out of stock to contact me.  
 
SHOEBUY's Pricematch is a SCAM!

I ordered 2 pairs of shoes- same style,different colors. I wore both pairs 2,maybe 3 times indoors on carpeting and I returned both pairs because they hurt my feet when worn for an extended period of time.  
 
Both pairs were returned 12/7/07,both in excellent condition since they had never been worn outdoors. One pair was credited to my account,the other pair was returned to me 2 weeks later stating that the shoes weren't returnable due to "dirty soles and scuffed,worn heels." Now,keep in mind that this is on shoes that have been worn 3 times at the most,INDOORS on carpeted floor.  
 
I also noticed that ShoeBuy edits their reviews of items. I have posted several reviews where all negatives about the item had been removed,with only the positive posted.This does not give an honest review of the item.  
 
The reviews that I have posted at Zappos have been posted in full,including both negative and positive comments.  
 
Shoebuy has steadily been going downhill lately. They have dropped a lot of the brands that I used to buy and their return policy is screwy. Zappos and other sites have been getting my business lately.  
 
ShoeBuy USED to be the first site that I went to when I wanted/needed a new pair of shoes, but that is no longer true. I am done with ShoeBuy,they have lost me as a customer.  
 
Hopefully, this review will keep others from encountering the same issues.

I purchased a pair of boots here and then saw that they were being sold at another site for a much lower price. I wanted to jump on their 110% price protection policy so I sent them an email with all the details of the lower price. 1st drawback: no call-in price protection number like Zappos.com and Shoes.com.  
 
Of course, the next day, the shoes on the other site were sold out in the exact color/size combo I wanted and OF COURSE, ShoeBuy hadn't even see my email yet. I finally got an email saying they couldn't find my shoe on the other site so they couldn't help me. Great, thanks a lot for that speedy service.  
 
Looks like I'm going to be returning the shoes knowing I can find them cheaper elsewhere, just need to be patient.
