Terrible Customer Service - Avoid Bysofiasau – I regret to say that my experience with BySofiasau has been extremely disappointing. I ordered two pairs of shoes online and have been met with nothing but frustration and incompetence from their customer service team. Firstly, there was a lack of transparency regarding the status of my delivery. Despite numerous emails requesting updates, I… Read more
received no response. It's deeply frustrating to be left in the dark about the whereabouts of my order.
Furthermore, it's concerning that after browsing their reviews post-purchase, I discovered a pattern of similar complaints. It seems I'm not alone in experiencing this level of neglect and disregard for customers.
In conclusion, I strongly advise against purchasing from Bysofiasau. Their poor communication and apparent indifference towards customer satisfaction make them an unreliable and untrustworthy option. Save yourself the hassle and shop elsewhere.
Dodgy plastic – Very dodgy company. Shoes advertised as ortho or orthopaedic but are all plastic. Reviews on their website are cut and paste self made jobs. They offer no returns. I bought products because I hv dodgy ankles and need to wear support - but these shoes are just soft plastic - without air ventilation. They hv other names - but all same product. Ignore. Report. Scam. Show details

Absolute disappointment! – Totally disappointed. Product did not match advertised description at all. Stated shoes are orthopaedic, yet obvious construct has not orthopaedic qualities with sole being a foam product. Fabric and stitching of poor quality, with single stitch and not double stitched as advertised and fabric has frayed edges and construction of product is… Read more
obviously at a lower standard to product advertised , so product will not last. The tongue length on the right foot was longer than on the left, making the shoes not aesthetically pleasing to look at. Delivery service poor and response to emails to identify where product was was non existent. Return policy of no returns if product bought on sale, meant I could not get a refund. This company is deceiving buyers. Wish I had come across this product review site when I did my initial search as I would never have touched this company. Definitely not an Australian based product. Avoid at all costs.
Dreadful shoes, arrived damaged - no refund offered – Do not buy shoes from this "company". Shoes arrived damaged, sizing is way too small and they are cheap and nasty - falsely advertised as "orthopaedic" Would not refund based on the fact they are a "sale" item despite the damage. Company took a long time to respond to my email and then ignored the issue around damage completely. This dispute is ongoing. Show details

Bysofiasaus.com - defective products; bad customer service! – Warning all Australians to AVOID this company at all costs! This company (Bysofiasaus.com) sells defective and poor quality shoes online and then when you complain about the defects, they claim that as the shoes were purchased on one of their sales, there are no returns, no refunds etc. This is not acceptable, and definitely not fair trade! I… Read more
purchased 3 pairs of shoes from Bysofiasaus.com on their February 2023 sale. 2 identical pairs of sandals in different colours, and a pair of sneakers. Because i purchased 3 pairs, i was given free shipping. Despite promising quick delivery, nothing had arrived in the mail after a month. Only after i had to make contact with them did they rush my order.
When my order arrived 2 pair of the shoes were faulty. One pair of sandals fit perfectly, but the other pair was defective (despite apparently being the same size etc). On the second pair my toes hung out the front of the shoes by 4cm with no way of securing my feet in the shoes... totally unwearable; and the sneakers had similar problems in that the elasticated velcro strap does not hold the shoes on your feet like they are supposed to... so the shoes continually fall off your feet when you take a step. I immediately contacted the company who did nothing to rectify this, stating that as the shoes were bought on a sale, their terms state that they can not be returned... really not fair to the customer at all considering these are faulty products. I can not wear the shoes i paid for!
I will warn everyone not to do business with this unfair company. you pay for rejects and then get NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, and are left spending a fortune for products that are defective.
I will now be contacting the department of fair trade and all other agencies who can help to stop this company from robbing other Australians. They need to be held to account for their poor products; bad company policies and non existent customer service.
False advertising and scamming – Received my boots and I’m extremely disappointed with the quality of the product. They are all synthetic, no arch support, no embossed emblem on side and excess glue visible. Cheap and nasty. Also any negative comments left on their website, are remove. Miss leading future buyers.

Below standard product. Way below! It's a scam – Purchased orthodontic shoes from bysofiashoes, advertised on sale. Shoes don't have orthodontic structure inside. Tried to get a refund but was told no refund for on sale items. Upon scrutiny, found this company has no telephone contact number or address. It can only be contacted by email. Show details

They take your money and don't send the shoes – I wish I had read the poor reviews before purchasing. The shoes have not been received after five weeks. The tracking number did not work and when the company was contacted they simply resent the email stating the goods were on the way! I will be contacting my bank to try and get my money back, but I expect it will be a lost cause. I'm a sucker for believing the hype on Facebook. Never again!!
The shoes arrived after eight weeks. Poorly made plastic boots. I threw them in the bin as there was no point trying to return them

Don't waste your time and money – Shoe European sizes are well off, l went one size up than normal and would have needed three sizes bigger to fit. Contacted supplier multiple times for a refund or exchange but apart from the initial 'l am sorry' there has been no further responses, just radio silence, so l am out of pocket and left with a pair of shoes l can't get my feet into...… Read more
Discusting business practices. May have Australia in the name, but definitely not coming from there, so don't waste your time and money.
THERE'S ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE!!!!! – The 2 pairs of "Premium" boots arrived after 31/2 weeks. The tracking number did not work and when the company was contacted they simply resent the email stating the goods were on the way! When the boots finally arrived, I could not believe the appalling quality. They were nothing like those advertised, plus the size was way too small. Obviously there will be NO return business from me or the people I have warned about this company. Show details

Want My Money Back – If I could give you no stars it would be great.. I have been waiting for my shoes, I purchased and you took my money 23 April and as soon as that happened, I received an email stating my shoes were on the way. Unfortunately still not here but I still been told to wait 3 to 15 days and shoes will be here. I waited and still not here, I want my money back to my account as this is a scam.
Bad buy – Ordered and paid for 3 pairs on April 18. Still waiting. Wish I had of read these reviews before I purchased. I asked where these were made and the response was, ‘Made in Australia’. Totally lies. Don’t support this dodgy company. They are definitely not honest or reliable.
Disgusted with this Business – If I could give less than 1 star I would. Shoes came 1 and a half months after I ordered them. They are not an Australian company their title is extremely miss leading. I ordered my shoes on Feb 1st. On Feb 22nd I contacted them asking about clarification about when I could expect my shoes. They said they'd look into it and let me know. On March… Read more
2nd they still hadn't responded with the findings of their investigation into my missing shoes. so I contacted them again. They said they'd look into it. I told them this is the same response I received on the 22nd and not acceptable. On 9th March they said the shoes have already been sent and to look for them in about two weeks and tracking would be updated in due course. Sure enough when tracking was updated in Aramex, who were the only positive in this whole transaction... My shoes were actually dispatched for the first time on the 9th of March, a full 1 month and 8 days after I originally ordered them. When shoes came they were like something I'd buy from the $2 shop. So cheap and so nasty. One pair of shoes actually broke while I was trying them on for the first time. $86.80!!! Disgusting business practice. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. The reviews they have on their website, I believe must be fabricated. Lesson learned...
SCAM…DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM – DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY. Definitely not an Australian company. Ordered three weeks ago, still nothing received. Tracking number is bogus, does not exist with Australia Post. Email responses are just further lies, refund request was denied as they said product has shipped but they will not answer the question of what date it shipped on. Don’t fall for this scam like I did. Should have read these reviews before purchasing.
Product not as advertised – Goods (orthopaedic shoes) finally arrived from China and looked nothing like the advertisement. Definitely not orthopaedic. Same quality and types of shoe could be bought locally here for about $15…not $51. BEWARE BUYER…absolute garbage. Show details
Do not buy – 4 weeks and still waiting. Not Australian product. Misleading… automated response from them. I’ve reported to PayPal .. BEWARE DO NIT PURCHASE
Still waiting for my shoes – Order #28017 Order #28381 First order was weeks ago, second order not long after. Still waiting for confirmation of them even being dispatched, no tracking details available. I have contacted them via email several times with what looks like a generated answer saying they will look into it!!! I have spent over $A100 on these items.

Buyer beware, this is not an Australian based company or reliable – Updated review: the shoes eventually arrived after several weeks. Unwrapped, they were very poor quality and had a really strong and unpleasant chemical odour. Therefore I couldn't wear them and as I felt they weren't even suitable to donate to a thrift shop, I threw them out. I placed an order several weeks ago thinking this company was based in… Read more
Australia. Within twelve hours I tried to cancel as I was concerned about sizing. The reply I received was that it was too late to cancel and receive refund as my order had been processed and was on the way. To date I have not received my order and my interactions with their customer service have been very unsatisfactory. I suspect my goods have still not actually left their country of origin (probably China). Also, they appear to also go by the name Pest Co, which doesn't fill me with confidence. If, as I fear, the shoes do not fit/are of poor quality (assuming I eventually receive them) I will unlikely to be able to get a refund. I would definitely not recommend them.
Cheap plastic, poor quality – Shoes arrived way too big even though I used sizing guide. I cannot return them as they are on sale. They are very cheap looking plastic and I do not know how they claim to be orthopedic sandals as they are very uncomfortable. Show details
Not Australian - no customer service – I ordered a pair of shoes from them, thinking they were Australian - they are a Chinese Company. Finally received after over a month and sending numerous messages which were deleted from Facebook and simply not responded to. Finally received a message from Australia Post saying they had a delivery for me for. “Pest Co Ltd” which turned out to… Read more
be the shoes. To be fair, the shoes are comfortable but I wouldn’t say they were the best shoes in the world.
However, I have now been charged twice for the shoes! I have sent a message to them but, based on previous experience, do not expect to hear from them, so will advise my bank that the second charge is fraudulent.
Their customer service is non existent. Do not buy from them, it is not worth the hassle. Gave them one star as no option for zero stars!
Do not buy from them. Cant choose 0 stars – I wish i had looked for reviews before I ordered. Been a month and still havent received my order or been given any assistance or information. Last email I sent a few days ago asking for refund, now no response at all. I have never left a bad review but in this instance I have to. Dont waste your money and your time.
Replies from company – It is obvious front reading these reviews and the occasional response from the company it is an automated answer. If this is the quality of Australian companies these days better to avoid.
Terrible quality – It would not have cost much more to use real leather instead of material that is so obviously artificial, so why not? Very disappointing quality.
Dodgy, very dodgy – So disappointed. Three weeks after the order and no product received. The tracking number is bogus and refers to a car part merchant. I’m so disappointed. Especially in these times, I work too hard to be ripped off. Never buying on line again!
Terrible product, misleading advertising – I bought a pair of ‘orthoboots’. The style and colour in the ad was very attractive, but what arrived was a pale shadow - or rather a dark shadow, as the green colour in the ad (think inner flesh of avocado) had morphed into a dark dark green, almost black (think Haas skin). Not at all happy. They refused to accept them back, citing ‘sale item’,… Read more
so I immediately lodged a dispute with PayPal (I almost always buy online through them). I included the correspondence, and pictures of the original ad + what actually arrived, claiming misleading advertising amd that the supplied product was not what was advertised. A refund was issue almost immediately by the seller. (This is why I use PayPal) I would never ever deal with this company again.
