      I purchased a pair of boots as a Christmas gift that needed to be returned. These were returned ( with tracking) and recevied in January by Journeys Canada. We are now at April 3rd and I still have not received my refund. I have contacted this company many times. The 1st response was they were mailing a cheque that would arrive within 7-10 business days( this was in February). March they apologized for the delay and said they would issue this by mail again. 3 weeks later I am now told this has not been processed but once it is they will ***** Express the refund to me and will email me the tracking. It has now been a week and a half and still no refund or tracking. Taking 3 months to issue a refund is absolutely unheard of. I would never again purchase from this company nor would I ever recommend them to anybody!!!

      I have been a customer of journeys for years. Every single year I have purchased the exact same style of shoes for both indoor and outdoor shoes for my daughter. She likes the same shoe, so every year I order the exact same shoe in her new size for both indoor and outdoor shoes at school. I just purchased a pair a few weeks back and the teacher sent them home and said my daughter is not allowed to wear them Anymore because it’s causing her too much pain, blisters and cuts. I have never had an issue with this type of shoe before. Upon inspection when getting home I realized there is a defect in the shoes and the inner plastic piece that goes in the heel is bent out and is cutting into my daughter’s ankle. I contacted customer service and said they weren’t doing anything to help me because it’s a couple days past 30 days. We were away for a week due to a death in the family, first day back is when my daughter came home with the shoes telling me that the teacher said she has to bring in new shoes. I don’t have the money to buy brand new shoes after just buying this a few weeks back. The fact the business won’t do anything is incredibly poor customer service when I have been a customer every year for years.
