    I ordered 2 pair of Hike footwear and received them within a couple of weeks. I did not like them so I emailed the email address to Hike footwear that I would like to return them and to please send me the info to return the footwear. All I got in return was info if they were damaged to send info and pics. I tried calling there phone numbers to customer service only no response after several attempts of waiting 25 to 30 minutes. I just want to return the product and get a refund.

    I order these shoes two pairs for $108.00 they do not meet the **** guidelines for my job. I have been speaking with a *****************************, all I want is my money issued back on my credit card. I have asked to return the shoes they dont want them and I cant use them. Here is the return policy from the company:This is how the process works for all products:1. Send us an email to ************************************ and let us know that you wish to return the order or parts of it to us.2. Ask our customer service if we can accept the return. You can also provide a return address (note: it's not the address) on our website.3. If we can accept the return (within the accepted timeframe), follow the instructions below. Pack the returned product safely and securely in the original packaging.4. Send the package to the return address you have received from our customer service.5. Send the ************* code to our customer service.6. Once your package is received and inspected within 3 days of receipt, we will refund the returned products using the payment method you paid for the products.I was told that I would get half of my money back, I want the cost I spent and return the shoes. I have email conversations with ********* I can send them if you need. Stating that they would only issue me half of the amount and keep the shoes, but nothing has been done.

    Ordered footwear from company. Secondary delivery service says they delivered it but I did not receive the package. Hike will not help me until I get a loss certificate from the shipping company, but I have been trying for over 1 week to reach them by phone, email and social media. I get an automated response from carrier saying they will be in touch in 1-3 days, but I have now done this process twice with no avail. I just want what I paid for or a refund. But it looks like **** passed it off to the carrier, whom is impossible to contact.

    I am writing to file a complaint against Hike Footwear US regarding an unsatisfactory purchase and poor customer service.On May 4 I ordered shoes from Hike Footwear US via their website. When the shoes arrived, they did not fit true to size and were of poor quality. I asked to return the product and to receive a full refund. The company took 9 days to respond to my initial email, after I followed up multiple times. My request was met with multiple unsatisfactory offers. Initially, they proposed a free replacement without requiring the return of the original item. When I declined, citing the poor quality and their 100% customer satisfaction guarantee, they offered a partial refund of 50% and a discount code. I reiterated my request for a full refund, as a partial refund does not resolve my issue.Finally, I was informed that to receive a refund, I would need to return the item to their warehouse in ***** at my own expense. Requiring the customer to cover international shipping costs for an unsatisfactory product, is unreasonable, especially given the quality issues were not my fault. the shipping is likely to cost more than the product cost.Their inconsistent and inconvenient refund policy, coupled with poor product quality and poor customer service, reflects a disregard for customer satisfaction. I believe ********************** US is in violation of fair trade practices and their own 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.I would be grateful if Better Business Bureau to take necessary action to resolve this issue, ensuring I receive a full refund without the need to incur return shipping costs, and to address the company's unreasonable policies. I would like to prevent other customers from having to go through a similar frustrating process.Thank you for your assistance.

    I purchased 4 pairs of sneakers for approx$100 from hike.footwear. I received the 1/2 of the paid for product. 2 pairs of shoes not 4. The shoes did not fit and quality was poor. I went to website the day I received and over8 times tried to email for the return. The return email is a fake email that does not exist. I reached out of social media. They stated they sent me an email. I never received an email not even in junk mail. They now are offering to send me 2 pair of shoes. Which they owe me anyway. This is a scam and I have requested my money back multiple times. Shoes are $5 ******* shoes at best. This company preys in people and scams them. Please help.Thank you for your time and effort.*************************

    On march 21st of this year I purchased some tennis shoes that was supposed to help with the pain in my heel. I got an email/text that said my package was on the way so after about a week maybe 2 I got a text that said it was delivered but I didn't get it, so I tracked it and I saw the zip code was wrong and the post office couldn't figure out that the zip was wrong and they held it over the weekend and sent it back to Hike. I then emailed them and told the the zip code was wrong and the said they would fix it and today may 31st I still haven't gotten my shoes or money back.

    I ordered the shoes from Hike footwear on April 27 2024 and they arrived May 11th.They were too big, so I sent an email to start the return process. I did not hear back from them. I sent another email May 15th threatening to report them to the BBB if they did not respond. They responded May 16th saying they were sorry and wanted to help with the return and asked why I am returning the shoes. I responded the same day restating the size problem and adding that there was a strong chemical smell and I don't believe they are truly barefoot shoes as advertised. I have not received any other emails from this company since May 15th.
