Tanner Shoes Avis 136

FRAUD. TOTAL BS LIE SCAM.
CHINESE DIRECT MARKETING.

Scam! Scam! SCAM! I should have know. Deal was too good to be true. + Why would a USA company close down now with all the tariff's in place? No real receipt for purchase. Tracking number doesn't work. Customer Service phone number goes to someone's personal voicemail. Don't know where Customer Service email goes to but if I ever get a response I will be shocked.

I couldn't resist! I saw these shoes and decided to ordee the least expensive choice. Several days after I ordered, I received an email saying that my order was delayed because they were still being handmade in the shop! I knew then that I had been had, as they are only supposed to be selling the remaing stock. When the shoes arrived, they came in a plastic bag, no shoe box. They are made of synthetic materials and with no brand name. They offer no support and are very flimsy. Stay away from this scam!

Shoes are great, ordered one,one size too big I bought four pair. Had no problem returning them and I’m waiting for the correct size to get to me. They have been very helpful and helping me return the shoes for a new pair.

The “story” , of clossing down is AI generated and it looked like a scam to me. Came on Trust Pilot others saying the same, with the difference that they bought already.

First of all Tanner and his wife are 100% AI generated and not real people. The people you see reviewing and hyping up their shoes in videos are hired actors that can be found on fiverr. Furthermore, the shoes are pieces of garbage bought for 48¢ on aliexpress being resold for 40 dollars. I also find it interesting how Tanner has been making these shoes for over 40 years yet his website was established o so recently. If you're trying to scam people, do better. It's clear that no effort was put in to even make this try to look convincing, and i could recreate the same thing in probably 15 minutes.

Does it matter? I thought you were closing down business? The boots I ordered were not quite what I was expecting. As a boot, I expected thicker heavier leather with stiffer soles. That does make them more comfortable but, they are more "fasionable" than practical as a hiking boot. My other boots had heels too hard and noisey, slippery. I am adding to the heels.

Luckily, I learned about online scams and avoided ordering when I realized all the site's photos, including 'Henry & Margaret Tanner,' were AI-generated. Running their pic through an AI image detector confirmed my suspicions. This 'retirement sale' is a sham – Henry & Margaret don't exist, so they can't retire. More likely, the 'company' will vanish after swindling enough victims. That's the real 'retirement' plan. Do a Google search for "Free AI Image detector", and use them. Very helpful identifying scams.

Tanner Shoes issued a credit as soon as I brought a problem to their attention. Alyssa D was respectful, polite, understanding & courteous.

This company can improve by stopping scamming people. When asked where their company was they said they don't have a location. And no phone number or customer service.

FAKE LOW QUALITY GOODS, ORDERED A PREMIUM BOOT, ARRIVED AND WAS CHEAP PLASTIC
AVOID 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

False advertisement. Shoes are not premium leather. They are poorly made of all synthetic material. The shoes I received had a different bottom sole like a work boot pattern instead of a quality dress shoe sole. Stay away, do not buy. They make you pay for the return which is $65.00 from Texas back to China. It’s a lose lose situation. Buyer beware

Please do not be fooled by all of the recent positive feedback on Tanner Shoes. My bank immediately charge me a foreign credit use fee from China. TANNER SHOES IS A SCAM!!! Up until two days ago there were only two positive reviews and those were before there was even a website or a company. Now there are five more positive reviews in the last two days. The positive reviews are most likely from the same scammers that made the fake website. BEWARE!!!

I ordered men’s shoes from tanner-shoes.com, a website that presents itself as a small, U.S.-based business owned by a retiring couple named Henry and Margaret. They advertised a huge 80% off “closing sale.” But after placing my order, I discovered the company is actually based in China, not the U.S. — something that was not disclosed anywhere on the website.

They also fail to mention that products ship from China, which not only takes significantly longer but can also result in unexpected costs. As of the writing of this review (April 14, 2025), the tariff on Chinese imports is 145%, meaning the final cost of my order could be far higher than anticipated.

I requested a cancellation within an hour of placing the order. They refused, claiming their system begins processing immediately. However, three days have passed, and the order still hasn’t shipped — so clearly, they had ample opportunity to cancel it.

I find these practices deceptive and unethical. I will shortly be filing formal complaints with Shopify, the Texas Attorney General’s Office, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). I also plan to dispute the transaction with my credit card provider.

I strongly advise other consumers to avoid this business. The discounts and story they use to attract buyers are misleading, and the overall experience can end up costing you more than expected.

slippers are great. fit well, warm, sturdy, do not flop off feet.

DO NOT BUY , MOST NOW DAY ALL THESE WEB PAGE JUST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, 90% FROMLOW QUALITY CHEAP MADE FROM OVER SEA china , DONT LET ANY OF THEM FOOL YOU, THEY MADE UP STORIES LIKE GONE OUT BUSINESS SUCH AND SUCH LIE, VERY LOW QUALITY , AND TRY TO CALL THEM THEN YOU WILL SEE NO ANSWER

Great looking shoe. Fits well and are very comfotable

Fake. See the images of the two old people... AI. In one, the man has like 7 fingers.

What gave it away as an ai scam for me was the phrase “spacious design with multiple compartments for ultimate organization” under each pair of shoes. Absolutely wild. The shoes workshop looked too good to be true, too. Weird world we’re living in now.
