I was disappointed with the fact that they ship from china … I was under the impression the company is in Washington …. IF I knew it was from China I would have known products run small. I am the size I ordered in similar products however groovebag shoes run small. I now have 2 unique pairs that can not be exchanged for a correct size. It's unfortunate that they are not upfront with where their product is from Chinese stuff run small Keep it in mind when you order

Good Product
April 14, 2023

Seamless so far, although I don't like the identity confirming process through Experian. Experian has had data breaches and isn't trustworthy. There are other ways like uploading a picture id which is far more foolproof and doesn't open us up to further data breaches. Also, I do wish I can rent more than one bag especially when the bag I'm borrowing is one of the lesser expensive ones.

This is a shame. I would have easily ordered 10 pairs for myself and friends. The designs are so fun-something for everyone. Unfortunately, they are so cheaply made and terribly uncomfortable. If you are looking for a very very light weight shoe that feels like you are walking barefoot on cement, then this may be the shoe for you! I am hoping there is enough space for an insole so they are not a complete waste of money. I was very disappointed to see they were made in China which is why they take so long to arrive-not just because they are made on demand as they say. This could be an awesome business if it were done correctly! Maybe the bags are better and they should forget about making shoes.

What in the world?
October 20, 2022

I was so excited to receive these shoes and they are a MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT. The quality is awful. The inside came right out. Another review, regarding the same issue, had a response that stated "they are made that way (with a thin line of GLUE) so you can take it out and add different insoles". I have never ever seen that from a shoe EVER, unless it's garbage. The canvas is so so thin and I don't even know what material the sole is made out of. Definitely a glorified house slipper; if that. Cheap labor from China and marked up prices. SCAM.

I will never order from them again. After more than one month, I have not received my order. More than half month no information been updated on the tracking number. Before you order, think more about when you can get your order. Btw, the website shipping time is not promising.

Cheap
July 30, 2022

I ordered two pairs of shoes. They both arrived with the inner soles already loose. The material is very cheap, especially the "rubber" bottom, and the bottoms are so slippery. I'm afraid to wear these to work (where we have tile floors), especially if it rains.
Overall, okay shoes, but definitely not worth the price, even with BOGO free.

I wish I read the reviews first
June 7, 2022

These are by far the worst purchase I've ever made. The shoes are so cheaply made for the price I paid. $50 plus tax and shipping $61 for shoes that would be $5 at Old Navy! The sole is thinner than a flip flop. The back of the shoe is too low on the heel and slips off when I walk. I'm sure the sliding up and down will cause a blister on the back of my heel. They say to allow 4-6 weeks for delivery and they took 8 weeks. I was so excited to get sewing related shoes to wear when I meeting up with sewing friends. This will be a "lesson learned" for all of us.
My recommendation- stay away from Groove Bag

I ordered my sister in law shoes for her wedding day. They delivered them to West Virginia, the address is in Illinois. The customer service is crap. I am disputing the charge through my bank since I did not get the product.

Excellent customer service!
January 30, 2022

Yep, I'm one of those crazy cat ladies. So when I saw these cute custom cat shoes at Groove Bags, I had to not just purchase one, but two pairs. The first ones that arrived were a little on the large side since I have narrow feet but the company immediately got back to me and shipped out two more pairs the next day at no charge! I was blown away by their customer service. Shipping does take awhile and the shoes aren't super stretchy but they are still very comfortable to wear and so lightweight. I highly recommend this company.

I ordered two "leather" purses on 12/30, sent several emails regarding delivery, as I watched the tracking info that did not make sense. Purses arrived 1/29 and ABSOLUTELY look plastic. You cannot make a scratch on this material and smells nothing like leather. Stitching is also not great. I will NEVER waste money with them again and will not take chances on unknown companies. Notice the difference in materials, real leather vs very this plastic like material of the green and black purses received from GROOVELY.

Cute but cheap. Did not fit
December 29, 2021

The shoes I ordered were to narrow for my foot. They offered to replace with a different size, but that wouldn't fix the narrow issue. I sent the shoes back and I am waiting for a refund. /

The quality of the fabric and the stitching is just not what I would expect from a company that is well-known for its quality. The back zipper also ripped the first time I used it, which was a huge disappointment. They look really cute but they fall apart easily and are not worth the price.

Hey Comfyiest might not be a word, but it should be!
These sneakers fit me better than sneakers costing twice as much!
Love them,

Groove Bags is a great company to shop at. Website is laid out in a way that makes it easy to shop and to choose the items that you want. The shoes arrived within the stated time and they were nicer than I had expected. One pair did not fit well (the were a gift) and they remedied it right away.

Fantastic company!
October 19, 2021

Fantastic company! Love the shoes, love the service! Groovebags.com was amazing to work with! I placed multiple orders and they were helpful, active and responsive the whole way through! When I encountered an issue with sizing, I was blown away by the assistance provided! This company is honest and helpful! Shipping was a little slow the first time I ordered by with Covid, everything is delayed. My other orders arrived quickly! I love my shoes and the kiddos that I work with love them as well! I am a customer for life! Thank you groovebags!

Fabulous Company!
October 18, 2021

Amazing company! The shoes I ordered didn't fit properly, so the company offered to send me new ones for free and encouraged me to donate the other pair to charity or a shelter! Customer support was super quick to reply and extremely helpful. Shoes came in good time (about 7-10 days) and we're really good quality!

I'm going to be recommending this company to everyone! Such a great place to grab some Christmas gifts! Thanks, Groove Bags!
