The pair I received was exactly what I expected in a new box. The product was new and very reasonably priced. I would order from Footwear etc again.

Ordered item online, because the store frequently doesn't carry my size. Could not ship item to store so ship to home. The store would not take it back had to return item by mail. Not convenient

This online store was the only one that had these particular shoes in my size. My only complaint was delivery was a little bit longer than ordering from other online shoe stores.

Service was great. Sorry the insoles did not fit. I am getting one pair cut down to a 37 size, but I am thinking of returning the 2nd insole set. I wear a 7-7.5 shoe, and most EU 37s are that size. But Finn calls 37 a 6.5 size. I thought 6.5 would be too small. At least next time I will realize the right size. I would prefer shopping with free shipping, and at the very least, free returns.
