      Hello.

      On April 28, 2024 I purchased a pair of ** ******* from SoftMoc's online store for $207.19 CAD after tax. After ~6 months of casual wear, the outer strap of the right shoe came off completely on October 30, 2024. I checked SoftMoc's website to see if they had any warranties, and found clearly stated on their website that they had a 1-Year warranty for manufacture defects. ******* *** * ********* ******* *** *** ******** *** ****** ***** I did not rush to go in to submit a warranty claim.

      Yesterday on April 1, 2025, I went into the *** ****** SoftMoc in Victoria BC to submit a claim, and was told that the company had recently changed their warranty policy to 6-months, and therefore they will not replace my shoes. Today, April 2, 2025, I contacted their customer care chat on their website and was told the same thing, and that the policy was "effective immediately" as put in place by "upper management".

      This seems ********* *** unfair to me that they are refusing to uphold the terms of the original warranty, that was in place at my time of purchase. * **** ****** ***** ** *** ***** ** ************* ****** *** ***** ** ** ********** *** ****** * **** ******** *** ********* ** **** ********** * * ********** ** ***** ******* **** *** ******** ********* ***** ******** ** ***** * * ********** ** ***** *** ********* ***** ****** ***** ** ***** * * ***** ** ** ******** ******* ***** ** ********* * * ***** ** *** ********* ****** * * ********** ******* ******* *** **** ** *** *** *** ***** ***** *** ** ******* * * ********** ** ** **** **** ******** **** **** ****** ***** ** ***** * **** ******* *** ** *** ****** ****** ******** ******* **** ***** **** * ****** ******** ** ********* ********* *** * ** ****** **** **** **** ******* ** ******** ****** ******** * ******* **** ******* ***** ** ** **** *********** *** ***** ************ ******** *********.

      I received a gift card for Christmas and ordered 3 pairs of shoes from SoftMoc online. I had to return one pair and received a store credit. When I went to use my credit, I was informed the company no longer ships to the US, and they cannot honor my credit nor transfer it to another form of payment. I received no notifications, and when I contacted the customer service department, I was told there was nothing they could do. **** ** ******* * ********** **** ****** **** ********* ****** *** ****** *** **** ** ** ***** ********** **** **** ** *** ** ***** *** ********** I DO NOT RECOMMEND SHOPPING WITH THIS COMPANY!

      Good afternoon from SoftMoc,

      I am writing in regard to the dispute received regarding a purchase at SoftMoc USA.

      The company of SoftMoc USA has ceased operations and is no longer in business. SoftMoc Canada is not obligated to honor any outstanding gift cards, e-gift cards, discounts or similar items, and we truly apologize for this inconvenience.

      Warm Regards,

      I returned a brand new pair of unworn boots to their warehouse and now they are refusing to provide me with the agreed upon financial return.

      Date: 25/03/2025

      Good afternoon from SoftMoc,

      I am writing in regards to the dispute of $135.59.

      I do see that your order was received by our Online Returns Department and was refunded to an E-gift Card on March 11,2025. The refund was not processed to a credit card or debit, since the purchase was originally paid for via gift card. All refunds are processed back to the original method of payment.

      It is also noted that the gift card issued to your email, was used to purchase *********** on March 16, 2025. Since the gift card issued to you and then used towards a purchase, there is no refund to issue in the amount of $135.59

      I sincerely apologize for any confusion this has caused, and hope this response brings you clarity. Thank you for choosing SoftMoc, we truly value your business and wish you a wonderful day!

      ********* *******

      I placed an online order for a pair of shoes on 1 February which were supposed to be delivered to me February 5. The tracking information they provided me had zero updates on it so on February 10 I contacted their customer service and asked for an update and they told me that they would open investigation and I had to wait 3 to 5 business days but they would contact me back. I heard nothing so on the 15th I reached out to the sophomore customer service again and asked where ** ***** my shoes were asI still hadn’t heard anything. They told me that they were delivered on the 11th. I assured them that they were did not delivered to me. They told me had proof of delivery from the courier company, so I asked them to send me the pictures. They sent me the pictures and it is not my house or my address. I’m not sure why they were delivered there. The address on the order was correct. They just dropped them off at some random address somewhere in the city apparently so I asked the ********* customer service agent send me out a new pair. I was told no I had to wait another 3 to 5 business days for them to reach out to the courier company and ask them to go back to the address that they delivered them to and try and retrieve them. I said this was not satisfactory. I wanted a new pair sent out to me. It was not my problem that they chosen *********** courier service I asked to have my case sent to a manager. The manager responded and told me the same thing **** ** *** **** *** *** ** and I would have to wait another 3 to 5 business days while they did another investigation, I again told them that that is not right.You’ve had my money since February 1 and I would like my shoes. Secondly, I do not want a pair of shoes that was left at random person‘s house. How do I know they haven’t been wearing them that is not right to expect me to wait yet again it is 17 February. I still do not have my shoes and I have no idea when or if I’m going to be getting them.

      I ordered 4 pairs of shoes. The website says free shipping all over it.
      Unfortunately I can't prove the price I agreed to, because they only emailed a total cost reciept. I feel like ******* you need to provide an itemized reciept.
      My shoes came and they charged me $8 per pair of shoes. A price I know I would not have agreed to.

      Date of Transaction: Oct 4, 2024
      Amount paid to the business: $268.79
      Details: Bought a pair of winter boots from the company. Their chosen delivery company left the package without any notices nor authorization to a common area of my apartment lobby which was then lost by the time I went to look for it. Company didn’t provide any up to date tracking information. Company’s own tracking system provided incorrect information which resulted in significant delay of noticing package delivery status. Reached out to the company via email first asking for a refund or reshipment. Request was denied. Reason of denial was the delivery company refused to take responsibility which was later found out * *** after I contacted the deliver company myself. Was told that the delivery company had never received any investigation request from Softmoc. Asked softmoc for a file number they created with the delivery company, was denied to provide that information. Also called the company after receiving the email denial trying to further solve this issue. The answering agent was willing to process a reshipment for me after listening to my case, but was later stopped by her manager during the process. Called again to request to talk to their manager, but the second answering agent refused to put me through. After a few requests, she put me on hold to talk to the manager herself and then returned back to me claiming she had to end the call. Had a few more email conversations after the phone calls asking for their standard policies and investigation file number with the courier, all were denied. And the email communication channel was closed by softmoc ********.
      Expected solution: A full refund from Softmoc.

      I bought boots on Dec. 28, 2023. On April 26, 2024 the sole of one boot completely broke in half. I have the photos. There were numerous issues trying to escalate the problem to a supervisor. There were also numerous issues trying to return the boots to the store of the original purchase. I had to go to an inconvenient location. I was told that because of the serious defect, I would get a refund rather than a credit (which is their regular 3 month policy). However, when the asst store manager tried to process it, he was told I could only get a credit. ** *** ****** ** *** ** The defect was on a SoftMoc brand. I was sold defective shoes and, after at least 4 hours of trying to make it right, the company has ******** my money. I’ve been a customer of theirs in two cities, Vancouver and Montreal. ** **** ******* * ***** ******** ****** ******** **** after this, I do not want to buy from them again. *** ****** ** ******** I have no faith in their products and their ability to be accountable. I also tried to call Head Office following the experience to resolve this without going through BBB, but I my request to speak to a supervisor was refused unless I provided all the details to the front line customer service agent. This would have meant more time wasted and I’d have had to repeat it all to the supervisor. *** ** ***** *** ************* **** ******** *** *********** *** **** *** ** ****** *** ***** ** *** ***** ** *****

      I bought a pair of Softmoc Women's ******* 4 Waterproof Boots in March 2022, and started wearing them in mid-November 2022 (as they're winter boots). Mid-December I noticed they were falling apart at the sides and letting snow in. I sent them for inspection, and received a replacement pair on March 07 2023. The first day of wearing them I noticed they had started to crease in the same weak spot as the first pair, and only wore them a handful of times after this and noticed it getting worse, so I relied on other boots until I had time to address this with Softmoc. I have been liaising with Softmoc about a refund for these boots since May 14 2023, and the Assistant Manager I have dealt with will not, after repeat requests, put me through to higher management. They keep citing that they, after inspecting the boots, will only offer a credit or replacement boots as per their policy. I respect store policies, but am unhappy with this ** ***** ** ********* * ************* ***** **** **** ***** *** I do not want to use a Softmoc product again. If their boots are faulty, why should I not be refunded?Please can you help?

      Good afternoon from SoftMoc *****,

      I have received your BBB complaint regarding your purchase of our ******* winter boots. I am terribly sorry to hear of the issues experienced with our product! I did note that you had been in contact with both our store level staff and our Customer Care Team, and that the policy for our defect inspections was correctly followed by our staff. At SoftMoc, we do stand behind our product and our Canadian name, and we want you to be happy with your purchase! In saying that, as a one time exception, I have issued a full refund to your original method of payment. Please allow up to 30 days for your financial institution to process the funds back to your card. Thank you for your patience and understanding in light of your recent experience *****. 

      Warm regards,

      *********

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I did reach out to the email address you listed.  They simply said they cannot overrule a store and I should try my luck at another store.  This is very concerning to me as it implies your polciies **** ** ******* ********* *********** *** are drsatically different from store to store.  Not only does this not resolve my issue, it make me concerned as a consumer that you are not applying your return policies consistently across stores.
