Terrible customer service. I placed an order through their Australian website, and the parcel was delivered and signed for from some random person and it has now been subsequently stolen. I had not authorised anyone else to sign for or receive the delivery, yet the company has refused to take any responsibility for this. As a result, I am now out… Read more

of pocket over $130 for shoes I never received. The lack of accountability and support is extremely disappointing. Deplorable service.

Ordered off the converse.au site. I love the shoes Great shoes don’t get me wrong. They fit well etc and are priced really reasonably. My issue is with their shipping. They use StarTrack which is, in my opinion, one of the shipping companies with poor service. Each time I order from Converse I’m anxious because StarTrack are notorious for not… Read more

having good service and I’ve experienced issues with them making mistakes or claiming they attempted to delivery packages when they haven’t and so on. Again I’m riddled with worry every time StarTrack are handling my delivery.

Found an item I wanted, got to the checkout and it doesn't ship to my country, AND the product is not available in my country. If you're a foreign buyer don't buy converse, they only ship the left over slop to countries outside the US.

Xxhi Narrower compared to same size of other converse chuck shoes – I wear converse every day and have a few pairs in the same size, so I ordered my normal size in the xxhi top shoes and they are a size smaller and narrower then my normal ones even though they are the same size and the website size chart says that they are a larger size so pick a smaller size. So glad I didn't pick a smaller size or my foot… Read more

wouldn't fit at all.

The length wasn't the problem it was how narrow it was. I noticed that on the bottom of the shoe there is a little star but no size number but on my other pairs that fit there is both a star and a size number and the ones with the size number on them aren't narrow.

I asked them if the shoes had size changes and no response to that just a generic our shoes tend to run larger then most other brands and I should order the size that closely matched the cm or rest of the sizing for that shoe ect. .... I told them that I compared my converse shoes in the original email! How can 2/3 pairs of shoes from the same brand be different sizes when they aren't the dainty size but all chuck styles! This is nonsense.

No customer service and poor size chart. They need to tell ppl if it is a narrower style .

Poor customer service – They don't quality check, so have been inconvenienced by a faulty pair of sneakers. They don't answer phone and emails are slow to respond and drawn out for more details...all just to send back at their expense, haven't even got close to a refund yet! I suppose they will fight that too. There is certainly no apology and I sense from [Name Removed]… Read more

she is passive aggressive and abusing her power. There's always ACCC to take things further Converse...you are not above the law!

Converse Run Star Hike Platform are extremely slippery. Very hazardous. DO NOT BUY – As the title states, if you buy these shoes you'd better have $50,000 saved for an operation. You will slip. You will fall. These shoes look grippy, but rest assured you may die on wet or dry slippery surfaces such as tiles, vinyl, hardwood floors, concrete and basically any other smooth surface. Honestly, any surface other than dry dirt is… Read more

hazardous and they should be pulled from the shelves immediately and customers fully reimbursed.

If you think I can handle Crocs because they get a little slippery in wet weather, you are seriously underestimating these Converse shoes. The slip hazard rating is 100x that of Crocs.

You have been warned!! Do not buy these shoes!

Also the returns policy with Converse is non-existent. I have 7 pairs of "Cons". I will never buy another pair.

Horrible customer service – Ordered a size 8 was sent a size 9, called right away and they said the problem would be rectified by sending out the correct size with a return post bag in the package... Now I'm having to jump through hoops to get the exchange sorted even though it was their mess up!

The Better way to wear your Converse or other shoes or sneakers to – Good converse don`t you reckon guys yer. Well here some photos off some shots that I took of people wearing then hey. These sockless fashion. But worse thing is though the feet sweat and they make the shoes stink more and feet rub against the side of the shoes and start to smell bad each time when you don`t wear socks so you must wear them.… Read more

Please. I have found some girls in my class with stinky feet from converse, because of not wearing socks with them on and they will rote like compost over time. I have told my friend that she can`t wear hers and she must burn hers and so she did. I this is a lot to read and to know from me, but the truth is good to know about. The real facts about the the world. So here are some images of the bad things. The bad looks and then the good looks with the socks on to protect your feet and your shoes or sneakers. It doesn't really matter what kind of staring socks you put on but they must be seen past your shoes. And there is a good colour match ones here as well you'll see. So that`s all I have to show you and say for this topic and please be the good one on my side and show me as well if you'll like to post an photo of you wearing converse the right way. Thank you. Bye.

Fast delivery, and easy return – My delivery of two pairs of converse came very quick. Had to send a pair back for exchange. Very simple process where I filled out a form and sent it back with the shoes. My replacement came less than a week later. I was also notified of the process at each step in the delivery. Very satisfied.  Show details

-use caution when dealing with this store -misleading sizing. shoes returned immediately after trying on. -customer service determined shoes not in resellable condition and had scuff marks on the sole -customer requested photos of ‘damage’ as shoes never worn (only tried on and sent back due to sizing) -customer service advised they had already… Read more

returned shoes to me via post, despite my unsatisfied response. They provided picture of post with NO tracking number or item description -when I again questioned this as an unsatisfactory outcome Converse staff member became more unhelpful and placed blame on customer for condition of shoes -tracking email sent from the posting company a day later with the tracking number leading to customer further questioning honesty on shoe condition and actual times that shoes were posted. Very unsatisfied with customer service in their determination of shoe condition and their transparency around sending the shoes back and providing misleading annd inconsistent information on returning the shoes instead of making genuine attempts to rectify issue with customer. Will be contacting fair trading ombudsman

Said my shoes were sent, tracking shows them lost and even after communication from the transport and the tracking showing lost i have been left out of pocket and do not have the shoes. Do not buy online the company they use for delivery is terrible and you will be left without shoes and without money to buy elsewhere.

I would rate this experience zero stars. The sizing for their shoes is extremely misleading and inconsistent. On top of that, customers are required to cover the cost of exchanges, which adds another $10.50 to your expenses. Many competitors offer free exchanges, while this company does not. When it comes to returns or exchanges, it feels like… Read more

they completely ignore you. I strongly advise future customers to avoid making online purchases from them. The quality of their shoes has noticeably declined as well.

It seems that Converse Australia do not fully address customer feedback and negative reviews. It might be beneficial for customers to escalate their concerns to Converse Global HQ.

This could prompt them to take meaningful action regarding their distributor, helping to safeguard their reputation and brand integrity.

Absolutely appalling customer service. I received an pair of boots that weren't the style I ordered. I had to email them more than five times to even get a response. There was absolutely no apology for the weeks I'd been trying to contact them without a response. The quality of converse has completed dipped too. I won't buy from them again for so many reasons. Show details

Poor quality control and generic responses in customer service not helpful – To contact customer service is tricky The generic response not good enough After explaining I received a new pair of converse as a gift and the first time wearing all the red dye from the sole has run into the white canvas the first thing you want is proof of purchase ? Are these not your branded shoes ? I’m asking for a follow up on the poor quality fault in YOUR goods as is my consumer rights

Standards have dropped at Converse – I was so excited with the new design of the chuck taylor in recent years, i.e. the cushioned sole etc, that I went out and bought three pairs which are now all falling apart within 1.5 years of purchase. I have done nothing different and have not trashed the shoes in any way. I've been buying chuck taylor's since the early 90s. I contacted… Read more

Converse and they have told me they can't do anything because I purchased through General Pants and David Jones. Converse don't even stand by their product. I won't be buying any more chuck taylors which is a shame because i've always loved the shoe.

The money was taken out of my account around the same time but no product has shown up. I have emailed Conquest Sports Pty Ltd numerous times with no proper response or solution on when I will receive the card. Conquest Sports have a contact number but upon speaking to… Read more

someone, they divert you to leave a message with their message service and you never get a call back. I am then forced to email them directly but they never reply. This is very poor service from a well established company. Steer clear of their online business at any cost.

Not a shoe, a "comfort footware" – Converse shoes are a known brand, therefore they charge up to four times as much as the same product without a known brand, ie: Sneaks. If you wear the shoes, there are two points of difference between Converse and a lot of mass produced footware: 1) Assembly. Converse shoes are assembled with a thin layer of non-waterproof glue, meaning as soon… Read more

as you start wearing them natural perspiration from the foot starts damaging the sole inlay and inevitably rain or a puddle will contribute to the sole perishing away from the shoe. Some retailers claim to sell a secondary spray adhesive to stop perishing but this does virtually nothing since rain, puddles or humidity can happen at any time.

2) Sole. Converse shoes don't have one, so walking on footpaths leads quickly to a hole in the shoe about the size of an ovaloid 20 cent piece.

Although they look like vintage running shoes, they can't be marketed as such because running in them is not dependable past a few months. They are mislabeled as "comfort footwear" because they are low-irritation shoes with about the same durability as cheap, mass produced plastic slippers.

Shoe retailers move these McDonalds-style shoes every day, but they actually should be more concerned about the millions of pieces of discarded plastic junk they are creating. Converse, and it's major shareholders and parent company (easily referenced) create a low quality, high pollution product in Chinese industrial parks and completely overcharge above their wholesale price.

Do not buy Online! Worst Customer Experience EVER – Ordered some Converse online, paid full price. 1 month of wear resulted in the shoes splitting along the seam. I work in an office an am not overly active so there wasn't much strain. Defects happen so was not upset about this. I contacted Converse Online. No ability to call so lodged a support request. 2 weeks go by and no response so I lodge… Read more

another enquiry. Another 2 weeks go by and no response so I lodge 3 more enquiries.

4 MONTHS later I receive a reply! If you absolutely must by Converse shoes, go into the store where you will actually get customer service.

Still waiting……still – Sent my purchase back for an exchange and was received by them five working days ago. Heard nothing, been sent nothing, they’ve responded to nothing I’ve sent asking when to expect the exchange. What a-paling service. First and last purchase from them at this point.

Ordered on 10 January- 21 Days later & no shoes – Ordered shoes in store, as store was out of stock on 10th January. I received a shipping notification, however when I opened it it states that the item was not ready to be collected from converse and thus not shipped. I have sent 3 emails trying to ascertain when/ if the shoes will be shipped. No reply to any email in the past 21 days. No phone… Read more

number to speak to anyone in online Department. No way to seek a refund. This is possibly the worst customer care or service I have ever encountered. I don't think I have ever even written a complaint before- yet here I am. I will never buy from Converse again (not that a large company like Converse has any care about consumers like us). My daughter doesn't get her shoes, I'm out of pocket & all I have is generic email responses of "we will reply shortly".

I have contacted the courier and getting no where.… Read more

Have contacted Converse several times with absolutely NO response. Will never buy online from them again. No phone number and only emails but you could raise a ticket on your account for them but it’s not working either. Will be reporting to Fair Trading on Monday. I am seriously not happy at such an expensive pair of shoes being lost and no one caring.

Definitely not no-slip soles – My converse sneakers look lovely and fit well. However, there’s a lot of hype about the slip resistance and superior grip provided by the diamond tread and special material the soles are manufactured from. As I’m writing this review currently recovering from surgery to plate a broken leg, I’m not too confident of these claims. There was no trip or stumble - straight slip only. The advertised claims are very wrong. Show details
