Boots have split – I bought 2 pairs of H+D gumboots for my daughter, which were listed as available. Ends up they weren’t actually in stock and it took 6 weeks for them to be sent. Contact with the owner was limited, and going by IG post comments, there were a lot of other frustrated parents about no communication and delays in the orders. Eventually got the boots… Read more
and the first pair seam failed within about 5 months wear, so they had to go into the bin. The other pair were the next size up (as ordered), and my daughter was able to wear them. They’ve been worn for approximately 4 weeks now and they’ve had the same seam failure on the boot (along the side of the boot).
An inferior product. A poorly run company. I do not recommend these boots.
I highly recommend parents looking for gumboots for their children to consider Bergstein gumboots. I’ve always ordered them and they’re perfect, but this year I went with H+D for whatever reason.
Averagggge!!! Wouldn't recommend – Wouldn't recommend unless of course, you like poor quality and bad service. I have had gumboots split due to poor quality rubber. I had the most painful experience dealing with customer service when my purchase failed to arrive months after purchasing!!! Fustrating to say the least.

Would not recommend. Terrible quality and poor customer service – Poor quality gumboots and terrible customer service when trying to address faults. No reply to emails sent over a 3 week period, ignored instagram and facebook messages too. Gumboots wore out for a 2 year old after 3-4 months.

Great experience! – So glad this business has changed ownership and are reliable once again! Great experience! Purchased 3 pairs of gumboots and all were shipped promptly and I received the items as described. My kids love them. Can’t beat their gumboots for kids.
New ownership! – I’ve loved the brand for a long time. It is now under new ownership. Meghan is very quick to respond to any queries and was very helpful with getting an order delivered to me quickly.
Great Brand – I recently bought from Hubble and Duke, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed! Under its new ownership, Hubble and Duke has elevated the shopping experience. The selection of clothing is not only stylish and trendy but also of exceptional quality. Each piece feels durable and comfortable, perfect for my active daughter. We often go to our… Read more
family farm and have bought 4 pairs of gumboots (because why not have them in every colour!) They are great quality and have been put through their paces with all the muddy puddles, fruit picking and bush walks!
The customer service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and eager to help. It’s clear that the new management values their customers and strives to make everything pleasant and satisfying.
Overall, I am delighted with my experience and will definitely be a returning customer. Kudos to the new ownership for making such positive changes. Highly recommended!

Scam, take your money don't respond to emails – Ordered a pair of toddler sandals. Took over 8 weeks to be delivered, and that's paying for express post. By the time I got them my toddler had already gone up a size so the sandals were useless. They then ignored all emails to discuss the matter. This business is shoddy and a scam. Do not buy from here. They should go bankrupt.

No order received – Ordered months ago and have sent multiple emails to not avail. Today I finally placed a chargeback with my bank. To the person that said we must be kind - why? This business has taken our money for months and has never sent order communication. Where is the kindness from them?

WORST COMPANY EVER – Bought from H+D without reading the reviews. Gave her the benefit of the doubt anyway. Never received order, was lied to multiple times about it arriving and in the end had to ask my bank to retrieve my money back. AWFUL business, TERRIBLE customer service and you won’t receive what you paid for.

Will be shopping with H+D again! – I highly highly recommend H+D!!! They have the cutest gum boots and clothing options and everything is such high quality too! My order also came so quickly which was amazing ☺️☺️☺️
EXCELLENT – Very accomodating new owner, who has offered great service and products. The fast shipping made it even better. I will be a returning customer when my kids grow out of their boots.
Beautiful products – Love my girls Hubble and duke pink gum boots! We also tried the grey knit cardigan and was so warm and good quality! definitely recommend this business for cute clothes and shoes!
Hubble and Duke under New Management – Hubble and Duke under its new management , have taken the brand to a new high. Incredible style , coupled with improved quality and fast shipping have me wanting more. The latest seasons range is style epitomised.
I’m happy I bought from them AGAIN – This is the second time ordering from H&D, I have to say the first time experience wasn’t so great. I still decided to take another chance a year later because I do LOVE their boots and their exclusive colors. I’m so glad I did, because they didn’t fail me. Their shipping was really fast and I ordered international! I received my rain boots and quality did NOT fail me! Will be ordering for my oldest now.
New ownership great customer service and fast shipping! – Since the new owner took over this year the customer service has been so prompt and professional and I received my order within 2 days! I have always loved this brand and am so happy that it has been brought back to life!
Quick postage and Great customer service – Under new ownership now. Ordered a pair of gumboots, they accidently sent the wrong colour. Emailed and was responded to the same day, and they sent out the correct colour straight away. A they even told me to keep the other ones.
Huge Regret – Like many others, placed an order on 18th September, paid an exorbitant amount in shipping, money left my account and 2 months on still no shipping details, no gumboots and multiple emails sent with only automatic replies being received back. Felt some hope when an update on instagram said they were still being shipped however, that hope is fast… Read more
dwindling. The latest automatic reply states that H&D will be changing owners, and that all should be shipped well before Xmas but I feel the name has been sullied well and truly now and this should have been sorted long ago. Incredibly disappointed and would like to know if anyone has or can we take this further?

Scammer, beware! – Took my money, but didn't ship my order and won't respond to emails. Looks like a big scam to me as she seems to be doing the same to other shoppers. Stay away!

I will always support H&D – I absolutely love H&Ds gumboots and jellies for my kids. Its so sad to see them going through a rough time at the moment during these unstable financial times. After being a loyal customer, I know H&D will fulfil there backlog in due time and I will await my order. I think the reviews below are horrible, we need to be kind during these times and support small businesses.
TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE – I placed an order early June it’s now the middle of July & have yet to receive any communication about where my order is. I am not the only one everybody has received an automated response but nothing direct from the owner. This business is ignoring paying customers while actively advertising sales and their website is still available to… Read more
purchase from them. Deleting comments & disabling customers able to comment on their posts regarding their refunds & outstanding orders
This business is a disgrace. DO NOT SHOP with them you will only lose your money or have an order shipped 6+ later

Just took my money and disappeared – I placed my order on the 6th of May (a month ago) with express postage. So when after a week I hadn't heard I emailed and I got an automatic reply. And this is the case for the following emails. I found a mobile on their FB page but they never answer. I paid through paypal so I have now file a refund request but they give the owner a month to get… Read more
back to you.
I could have just dropped $60+ in the toilet and would have at least saved time.
I wish I read all these reviews before placing my order.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND !

Do not buy from them scammer – Ordered gumboots 9th may. Haven’t received tracking details. Sent multiple emails. Does not reply. She Turned off comments on Instagram posts. She doesn’t reply to any comments on Instagram. Awful customer service. Will never buy from her again. She has a sale now so more people buy from her. Please stay away from her and recall your money through the bank and report her. Scam

Terrible service – They don't get back to you for weeks or at all. Order eventually arrived at least 6 weeks late. Cute products but horrible service. If you purchase, make sure you don't need the products for a while.

Very bad customer service – I ordered a item click and collect only to find out they were closing there shop on instagram. I reached out to the owner who kindly offerer to ship. A few weeks went by and nothing. Sent multiple emails no reply. Left a comment on there instagram and said they would get back to me that day, they didn't. Proceeded to send more emails and comments . Eventually got a reply to say they had no stock and would refund me. What a joke.

Adore this brand – I love the jelly sandals and Moccasins. I purchased the jelly sandals for my toddler and the moccasins for my 1-year-old. They live in them. Great quality and really beautiful. I get comments wherever we go.
Terrible service – Purchased jelly shoes 4 months ago which arrived missing a buckle. Countless follow ups for a replacement or refund to no avail, seems a common trend with many now that I’ve read her Instagram comments. She had said twice that she has sent me a replacement but then never follows through with tracking info and then back tracked and said “they’ve… Read more
sold out will send them next time they’re in stock”. Apparently she then sent me a replacement pair 5 weeks ago but hasn’t sent tracking despite 4x follow ups asking for this, so we shall see if this appears. Either way it’s been 4 months waiting for a resolution for faulty product which is not acceptable.

Does not deserve any star.. only had to to write a review – Ordered a pair of shoes for a bday gift. No despatch email or shipping updates. Does not return emails or messages on Instagram. But continuously able to post Instagram stories and photos for more sales. whatever the reason for the delay the customer should be notified. Not ghost them after taking their money! Scam! don’t get suck into buying pretty or sale items from this business cause you won’t receive it.

Terrible dispatch times – Three weeks since I purchased two pairs of shoes and they still havent been dispatched. She doesnt reply to emails or dm’s, you have to publicly comment on her posts to get any sort of response. Don’t purchase from this store.

The owner is a bad person – After she has taken your money you won’t have any communication or your order! She ignores you. And doesn’t send your items. Who does that! Then posts a sob Story about being a single mum and a business owner yet continue to takes peoples money and not fulfill orders.

Tights and socks – 4 years ago I purchased some gorgeous socks for my son, now that we are having a daughter I couldn’t wait to buy some more to add to our collection! They are such a quality make, they wash fantastically and still look new! Truly one of a kind.
Terrible make – Love the sandals but same review as others. The feed into the buckle is WAY TOO SHORT, the size for my daughter is correct but the thread is a joke. Don’t waste you money on this faulty product!

Jelly Sandals - Poor design – Bought some sandals for my daughter. Lovely colour, but the band that feeds into the buckle is waaaay too short and can only just get them done up on the last hole. And her ankles are on the scrawny side. Shame as there is more than a cm of room at the toes
