Idea 10, Actual 2
Ordered Emmy model in nude, along with 3 extra heels May 2025.
I always like to start with the positive: Customer service was exceptionally prompt to respond to my issue[s] and offered a fair solution [for someone else] without any prompting or cajoling. The product itself was fine; decent design, quite comfortable from the outset, felt very robust both as a flat and with heels on. What let it down a bit was the "vegan" leather, which was a bit naff...but only a bit.
The bad:
The entire premise of this product is an easy to adapt shoe... one that an individual can change swiftly to provide comfort, enhance the fashion aesthetic as well as reduce the need for multiple pairs of shoes of same colour just to get a different style. Great idea, one that has merit to be sure. Loved it.
...If only they actually worked...
Received mine today. Watched multiple videos both from seller as well as others as I had read/heard that a fair number of folk had issues with the removal of the heels. Read the instructions that came with product. Installed the block heels, which I noted had a different removal button from the stilettos; block had a square button, stilettos had a more ergonomic curved button. Hmmm.
So went thru the process multiple times - grip shoe firmly, depress button fully, turn heel counter clockwise
No dice getting those heels off. They were and remain VERY firmly in place, despite multiple wrestles with them. On both shoes. Yep, those heels are there for all eternity.
So I reached out to customer service and as noted, they were prompt to respond. Asked me to take a video of my attempting to remove heels to troubleshoot.
Made and sent video.
First response was a genuine we're sorry, and we'd be happy to provide you with a replacement and we'll be reaching out to our suppliers. Offered a replacement pair of ANOTHER style without the slightest hesitation*; unfortunately the Emmy in the colour I had sold out.
Declined and asked that I be refunded and provided with a postage paid return label.
Third email from customer service said, ooooh, we've reviewed your video again, and please to try wiggle and jiggle the heel[s] about as we think that will resolve the issue! We think the spring is a little sticky...and we think you'll be happy once you get the hang of it, so no need for refund.
WTF? If it happened with both heels on both shoes with operator attempting to perform it's the design/manufacturing issue, not some one off shake it up shake it down, shake it all around and Hey Presto! All better!
Yeah, no. Note that I had ALREADY done just that in the video.
Sent back snotty reply that unless they wanted to pay me for my time to video another failed heel hell removal, JUST SEND ME A RUDDY FULL REFUND AND A PRE-PAID RETURN LABEL AND STOP WITH THE STALLING &HITE1
Once again, to customer service's credit, on the 4th try, they agreed to refund without return of the items and offered a 25% discount on a future purchase [as if lol].
Moral of the story is Pashion is a great idea but one that isn't ready for prime time, not until they figure out why some heels easy to remove, others wedded to the shoe for all time.
