My experience overall was very good
October 29, 2025

My experience overall was very good. Shoes purchased were a great compliment to my tuxedo, and a great compliment from our guests. Sizing was good, but narrow for my medium (normal) width feet. A local shoe cobbler was able to stretch the width for a more usual fit. Allow plenty of time from order to receipt as the process was much longer (read: slower) than expected... and that was with expedited shipping which was not expedited.

The shoes are really great quality and very well made. This was a present for my son and he really enjoyed the shoes and wants to wear them all the times. He says they are very comfortable and high quality!

The shoes looked exactly as advertised. The quality of the shoes seem very high. The overall fit was slightly larger than my usual fit, but an insole made the difference.

Very soft leather
October 23, 2025

Very soft leather. Excellent heel designs and colours. If you can create a special section for people who have bunions but still would like to purchase same models/designs, it would be so great.

I purchased a pair of boots with lacing from Girotti. Supposed to be all leather. When received the smell of these boots toxic. Incredibly awful uncomfortable last and no leather stamp or insignia whatsoever. I start a long process of trying to exchange. They suggest I air the boots out in the yard to dissipate the smell. They will try the con of exchange and then proceed to keep changing their mind. The only thing they spend time & money on is fancy website. Do NOT buy from these losers.

Hi Carole G.,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration it caused. We take all feedback seriously, especially when it concerns product comfort or material quality.

All Girotti shoes are made-to-order using genuine leather, and while a strong smell can sometimes occur during production or transit, it should dissipate quickly. That said, if your boots didn’t meet expectations, we regret the inconvenience and confusion during the exchange process.

We’d be happy to review the case again — please feel free to contact us at info@girotti.com with your order number. Our goal is always to make things right when we fall short.

Kind regards,
The Girotti Team

Do not purchase
April 4, 2025

The site purports to offer free refunds, they do not, the shoes arrived after a few weeks, on the day of delivery I initiated a refund and was denied.

Hi Kate C.,

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration and would like to clarify our policy: since all Girotti shoes are made-to-order, we offer free exchanges for sizing or fit issues, but not refunds by default. This is clearly outlined in our Returns Policy, and we do our best to communicate it during the ordering process.

That said, we’re always willing to review individual cases. If you believe your situation wasn’t handled fairly, please reach out to us at info@girotti.com with your order number — we’d be happy to take another look.

Kind regards,
The Girotti Team

Girotti deklariert alle Bestellungen als Maßanfertigung, obwohl die Schuhe nicht individuell nach Kundenwunsch gefertigt werden. Tatsächlich handelt es sich um standardisierte Modelle ohne personalisierte Anpassung. Dennoch wird unter Verweis auf eine angebliche Maßanfertigung jede Rückgabe und Rückerstattung verweigert.

Dies ist irreführend und entspricht nicht den Erwartungen, die an eine echte Maßanfertigung gestellt werden. Ich fordere eine Lösung in Form einer Rückgabemöglichkeit oder einer Rückerstattung.

Never buy from Girotti
January 26, 2025

I wear a 37 shoe and ordered a 37 from Girotti but it was way too big. And now, they are not responding to my emails. Any business which sells products that have to fit should offer refunds if the product doesn't fit. The boots I bought were very expensive and now they are useless to me! Never do business with this company.

Hi Ruth B.,

We’re sorry to hear that the sizing didn’t work out for you and that you haven’t received a timely response — that’s not the experience we aim to provide. We understand how frustrating it is to feel stuck with a product that doesn’t fit, especially when it's a made-to-order item.

While we don’t offer refunds for made-to-order shoes, we do provide free exchanges for sizing issues, and we’d be happy to arrange a replacement in the correct size. Please contact us again at info@girotti.com and include your order number — we’ll prioritize your case immediately.

Kind regards,
The Girotti Team

After taking my money, Girotti informed me that the winter boots I selected don't come with winter lining and suggested I reselect. Next selection, no winter lining in that one. Then they told me they don't do winter boots any longer. Their website said Canadian dollars, but they charged me in US dollars - significantly more money with the exchange! I've been waiting 17 days for a refund. Their shoes and boots look amazing, but it looks like it's a scam, don't fall for it.

Don't do it!
January 21, 2025

I ordered a handbag well before Christmas for my wife for $300. It never came and here we are January 21st of the new year and I'm still waiting on a refund. They blatantly lie and told me to check with my bank and they refunded it. This company sucks. Heed my warning.

Scam
January 16, 2025

Given the overwhelmingly positive customer feedback, I find the discrepancy with your experience concerning. For over two months, I have been attempting to receive an ankle boot order, and after a month of inquiries, I received an Evri email stating delivery, accompanied by a photograph of a generic green door. This photo, easily replicated anywhere, was presented as evidence of delivery to my residence. My concern is the lack of photographic evidence of the actual delivery location. Despite two months of back-and-forth communication, including a recent conversation with Dayana, the case has been inexplicably closed, and access to a manager has been denied. Legal counsel in both Italy and London has been engaged, and further action will be taken. I strongly advise against using this company due to the significant loss of time, money, and effort involved.

Placed an order for boots for my wife Oct 15th 2024. Received the order Dec 30th.

They are slow to respond and will only do so via email - and they provide little information in their communication.

I thought it was a scam until I had a legit tracking number.

My wife loves the boots however they arrived with a broken strap. I had to pay to have it repaired and when I contacted them about the issue, they never responded.

If you don't mind waiting a very long time to receive your order, you'll likely be happy with the product. Just garbage customer service.

Girotti shipping time
January 6, 2025

Orders Nov-28 for Christmas gift to my brother as they advertised to ship 7-15 days, but they shipped after 42 days, sent too many emails asking to cancel, they promised to ship the week of Dec-15, but shipped Jan-6, refused to cancel order and send money back and stuck with $230 pair of shoes, never buy, not worth the headache while can buy branded shoes for little more knowing that have 30 days to return,

I bought expensive shoes from them and I didn't like how they looked. They refused the return. I asked if I could exchange for something else. They said no, only if I get a different size. Does that make sense?
They say the shoes are custom made but I ordered a size 8 1/2. They knew nothing else about my feet.
They only want to take your money. They don't care about anything else.

I have purchased a pair of shoes back in July 2023, I have not received them after 5 months.
They neither pick up the phone, nor answer my email.
Do not trust Girotti, Their service is very poor and not aligned with Canadian standards.
You can see attached screen shot of my package status which got stopped and parcel never received!

If there is a Zero Star, they deserve it. Review sites should stop giving great ratings to some scammers like GIROTTI because some may hold you liable. They have no address at all to ship returns to! They do not accept refunds? Hiw? In 2024, on $250? Their shoes feel like concrete, cement, not even polyester but to talk of leather and they shipped shoes to me that is not well sized or leather for $250 & are refusing to refund. I will gather their other victims scattered across the US and we will report their scam to FBI. Veronica GIROTTI if that's your real name, refund my $250. I work VERY hard for my money. Stop lying that your shoes are made in Italy or are leather. They are not. I cannot wear such cement/concrete shoes with osteoarthritis of my knees. It's a huge scam.

Warning! Do not order from this company, they take your money and you might get your shoes or you might not. They promise your shoes in 10 days and other customers didn't get their shoes until 8 weeks later or not at all or did not get their money back. I ordered (3) pairs of shoes on Oct 1,2024 and tried contact them mulitable times on the status and I placed another order on October 9 for another (2) pairs totaling $ 1,100. They never responded to any messages or phone calls. I complaint to them via email ( because they won't answer their phone or emails, but they do read them because I said in an email that if they didn't response to my status of my shoe order that I was going to contact my CC and request a refund based on fraud. The link to my shoe order disappeared 30 mins later like it didn't exist. This company has Fraud written all over it!
