Solehaven focuses on extending shoelife rather than swapping them out. I'm also happy that every pair of shoes plants a tree. User friendly page, wide choices of shoes. Good Job!

Great customer service

I’m gonna be honest, I had a bad experience with Solehaven at first and was lowkey stressed 😭

BUT they actually fixed it for me and went above and beyond.. they even express shipped my pair for free which I did not expect at all.

Just received them and they’re authentic, super comfy, and honestly worth it.

Such a great brand, thanks so much 🫶✨

I had just sent another email requesting refund. What a joke. Wish I checked this site before purchasing. Clearly a scam site.

Solehave disappoints

I placed my order on November 26 2025 and money was received by Solehaven. Despite sending numerous emails and using their online 'care' support I have not had any reply. I have not received any delivery confirmation of my order so am very sceptical as to the legitamisy of this business (Solehaven). I paid $269 for fresh air. Disgusted and irate.

Fake fake fake, scammers!

These birks are fake and it is so upsetting that hard-working people like us get ripped off by you. You realise that working for this rip off place you are also party to the scam.
I have been to a birkenstock dealer and compared them.

For a start the larger sizes in real birks do not print the ladies size only the mens.
Box is a different shade of blue and gloss.
Footbed is not soft.
Sole birks imprint is larger than normal.
I gotta hand it to you they are pretty good fakes but not for people who know real birks.

I would like an immediate refund but I'm not too confident I'll ever hear from you again.

Quite possibly the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. I ordered some Birkenstocks, emailed because the size was incorrect (I emailed within 5 mins of ordering). After emailing 3-4 times, I got an automated AI response asking if I wanted a refund. I told them yes, received no correspondence after following up at least another 5 times. I received the shoes, and have NO WAY to contact them for a refund. Awful customer service.

DO NOT purchase from Solehaven

DO NOT purchase from Solehaven. Despite promises of ‘care’ and ‘support’, they take your money and then disappear. I purchased a pair of Birkenstock Bostons on 4th December 2025. Despite dozens of messages on the chat option on their website, to their numerous emails, on Messenger … I am yet to receive a confirmation that these have even shipped. Every now and again I receive an AI message promising me everything from ‘overnight express shipping to be organised within the next 1/2 hour’ to ‘full refund plus $25 added to my account’, but none of these promises ever eventuate.
It is now almost 20 days since I ordered. Their website promises 3-5 day delivery … the only official message I’ve received from Solehaven is an email confirming that they’ve taken my hard-earned money. Save yourself the grief … ORDER FROM SOMEONE ELSE!

Fake Birkenstocks

Fake Birkenstocks that will teach me for thinking I got a good deal.. I order the Swede leather ones and they weren’t Swede at all they were fake from the moment I tried the shoe on I knew they were fakes, Birkenstocks are the only shoe I wear so I could tell the quality was different..
so disappointed!!!
