Hi,

I purchased a woodland shoe on 19 January 2009 for Rs1, 900.00 from the Lower Parel factory outlet. Haveing barely used it for a week the sole started wearing off on the sides. On 13 February 2009 I gave the shoe for pasting at the Andheri West outlet near Shoppers Stop. It took them two weeks to paste the shoe. It wasnt the time that shocked me but the manner in which it was pasted.

I have now received the shoe but after pasting there are scrape marks and the work is extremely shabby. It is shocking to note that a company like Woodland can provide such a product and was further suprised to see the kind of aftersale service that was provided. One look at the shoe and looks like it has been used for a year!!

I purchased a woodlanf brand khaki shoe apray from'Fusion shoe park' on laxmi roadPune vide bill no:12986 on 10.02.2009. It cost me Rs.175.with product code:[protected]. Iused it just once. When I tried to spray on 18.03.09 the spray nozzle is not workking. When I complained to the shop they refused to listen and said there is no guarantee and company does not replace.
What the use of this poilsh conatiner if I cant use it.
This is really rubbish and careless behaviuour of the company. I need to get the same replaced.

Leather of the one shoe is totally squeezed and looking very shabby and shape of the both shoes also changed. I went to shop for the replacement but he refused.
I would request you to do the needfull in the matter.

Thanks & Regards,

I had a very worst experience shopping a pair footwear for my wife. I had a very good opinion on the brand name Woodlands, but the bad experience, I had presenting a pair of footwear to my wife made be realize they are just equal to any other footwear shop on the pavement.

I bought footwear for my wife, In just a day or so the black color coating on the toes and heal area of the footwear started to change white, the point I would like to make here is that. One footwear changed color very fast than the other. It was a black and white slipper. I was disgusting time to face my wife.

When I approched the shop were I bought the footwear in Pondy Bazar in Chennai for a immediate replacement, The manager wants 15days to investigate for replacement.

Why as a customer, I should undergo all the trouble to wait 15days, for the manufacturers lack of quality ??

Ultimately a very bad experience with Woodlands & Woodlands is loosing another good customer.

I HAD PURCHASED THE SHOES ARTICLE NO.RIGC 0407107 ASSR 0 FROM AERO CLUB WOODLAND STORE SHOP NO.158 KAPIL VIHAR, PITAMPURA, NEWDELHI, INDIA ON 07 JANUARY 2009. WITHIN 2 WEEK I GOT A PROBLEM AND TRY TO CONVENCE SHOP KEEPER TO REPLACE THE SHOES BUT HE ENSURED ME THAT IT CAN NOT BE REPLACED AND REPAIRED FREE OF COST SO THEY RETURN THE SHOES 12 DAYS AFTER PASTING. AGAIN AFTER 2 DAYS I GOT A NEW PROBLEM AND SHOES IS NOT ABLE TO WEAR ANY MORE...
I TRIED MY BEST TO CONVENES THEM TO REPLACE THE SHOES BUT THEY REPLIED WHAT YOU CAN DO YOU CAN AND AT ANY RATE WE WILL NOT REPLACE THE SHOE.
THE SHOPKEEPER IS NOT READY TO EXCHANGE MY SHOES SO I NEED YOUR HELP .
AND PLEASE LOOK FORWARD THE MATTER COZ HOW MANY TIME I CAN REPAIRED MY NEW SHOES

YOUR SINCERELY

I, Kuldeep Kumar is a Central Govt. employee servicing in Labour and Employment Ministry, New Delhi. I bought a pair of woodland shoes from one of Karol Bagh Woodland Showroom, Delhi at a cost of Rs. 2095/- in last July, 2007. I am a very fond of woodland shoes as I am using the woodland shoes from my college days i.e. since 1997.

But, after two months, a small dot appeared in one of shoe sole, which I ignored. But after some time, te small dot becomes a hole and subsequently the gap of this hole is become widened and the sole started cracking. I am sure that it is a manufacturing process fault. This was very embarrassing for me.

I visited the Karol Bagh showroom for complaint; they simply told me that the warranty of the shoes was only for 6 months. I was shocked to hear this that Woodland shoes life is just 6 months. Anyhow, I asked them to replace the sole with some cost, they demanded Rs. 450/- for sending these to woodland company for sole replacement charges and this time they too not give any guarantee, whether the sole was actually replaced or after replacement it has no guarantee, which was also embarrassing for me. I wore these shoes only about six or seven months completely.

I send my shoes through courier for sole replacement to Woodland company to M/s. Aero Club, Khasra No.-492/2/1, Vill.-New Kedarpur, Industrial Area, Paonta Sahib, Distt. – Sirmaur (H.P.) on 06.10.2008. But till than there is no answer from the company. I again send a reminder vide dated 20.01.2009, but there is still no answer from them. They should inform me about the progress of my complaint.

Thanking you and waiting for an early reciprocal from you.

Dear Sir,


This is in the context of my new woodland shoe's purchased on 01 / 01 / 2009, from WOODLAND STORE, EAST END MALL, GOMTI NAGAR, LUCKNOW . The artical no. mentioned in the BILL ( 5584 ) is GC 00 58109 GREEN 44 FOOTWEAR, priced at 2, 795 . the problem is with the right leg shoe which is a little bit more spunged from inside at the curved area of the foot, which makes wearing the footwear uneasy & is hurting while walking, it would be very kind of the WOODLAND if the matter is taken in concern & the problem resolved . If my problem is resolved at GORAKHPUR rather than LUCKNOW it would be better . My first WOODLAND pair was the 'GODZILLA' which my staff is still continuing with .

Even my experience with woodland footwear has been very poor . The stitching on the sides came off within 20 days o[censored]se. When I went to the shopkeeper with the complaint, he was extremely rude. His opinion was, since the sides are stuck they can come off. So the moral of the story is no point paying exorbitantly for this brand, as its not worth the money

ather went Dull within a day

I purchased Woodland shoe from your outlets in Lower Parel Mumbai (Phoneix Mills) and the shoe leather went dull within a day and I given to your outlet for replacement but they the Shop incharge Mr. Azeem Shaikh told me that we will set right the shoe and give me back within 4 or 5 working...

I bought a pair of Woodland shoes on 12/07/08 of MRP 3900. The sole of my shoes got cracked last week after 4 months of purchase. When I went to the Woodland Shop at Shipra mall, Indirapuram from where I bought it, he asked for the physical Invoice/bill which I didn't had. However even after giving the detail of the Invoice no. and date, he started insisting on the credit card statement. I assured him that I'll send it by E-Mail but he was not ready to take the shoes back. I'm harassed as I've already visited once and wasted my time and money and not sure how many visits I've to make to get these bad quality shoes replaced.

Reading the other complaints submitted by not so fortunate customers, i too had purchased an expensive pair hardly a year ago which breathed its last yesterday, the stiching on the sides of the sole gave off and the stiching and pasting of the sole as well.i had been a regular buyer of this brand, and had used two other models before which was very tough, rugged, beautiful and comfortable as well.i just want to know where to put our grievances and complaints or proper address of customer support wing so that my shoe can be repaired and gets a second life.

I bought a formal pair of woodland shoes in around the month of march/april from WOODLAND-COLABA. I must have worn the shoes just 5-6 times as they used to hurt horribly giving me bad shoe bites. Dont know why i paid rs.1500(discounted rate) for getting shoe bites. Anyway now I have realised that after wearing the shoes just 5-6 times the leather is wearing out entirely at the crease which forms due to walking.
I donot have a receipt so the shop owner says he cant do anything about it...
I am helpless...
A waste of money!

I had purchased a pair of shoes (Artcile No.G 4041 Camel Colour)from M/s.Earthline Apparels Pvt Ltd, Woodland Store at Borivali (West), Mumbai vide bill no.7948 dt.11th February, 2007 for Rs.1, 895/-. On 20th October, 2008 I had given it for repair (for resoling as it got damage) to the abovementioned store at Borivali (West) (Repair Slip No.73) & charges for the same is Rs.450/-. I had paid advance of Rs.200/-. The person told me that minimum period will take atleast 15 to 20 days but till date I have not received a pair of shoes. 3 times I went to the above mentioned stores but the concerned persons gives similar replies like your shoes sent to Factory at Delhi or the particular sole is not available but whenever we will receive will phone you up. On 8th Dec, 2008, I have got phone from him & told me that at the factory shoe sole is not available & therefore it will take another 15 or 20 days. Will you please let me know about why such delay is taking place for just resoling of 1 pair of shoes.

Thanks & Regards,
Paresh H Kapadia
