Feetus – What have we been up to?

Hello and welcome back to the Feetus blog. You may be wondering what Feetus has been up to, as we’ve been fairly quiet over the last year. Well as you may have seen on social media or a previous blog post we actually had a little fetus of our own , a baby girl born in November last year.

It was also last year that we had an extremely rough time with the launch of our new website. What was supposed to be quite a smooth transition turned out to be a six month plus ordeal of issue after issue with moving data across from the old site including customer data product data and the likes and it just turned out to be an extremely laborious task. However, we are now on the other side of it and I’m happy to say that the new website is up and running, fully functional and working better than ever.  You’ll now find that you can use the website much more easily on mobile and tablet devices you can manage your account in a lot more detail, request returns online and it also allows us to manage your orders in a much more efficient way. So what started off being a very very drawn out process of launching a new website has finally ended up completed.

And as if that wasn’t enough and just because we don’t like to do things by halves, we have also moved premises no less than three times in the last roughly 12 to 18 months. We moved into a new unit which had an attempted break-in over Christmas of 2018 so we moved out of there immediately and moved back into where our offices were located temporarily. We then stayed there little longer than expected, then we moved again and for a third and final time to the premises where we are right now where we have combined our office and warehouse into one unit. We did this with the same mindset of relaunching the website in that it would vastly improve our efficiency in processing and managing orders.

Now this turbulent last year or so has not only had a huge impact on how we actually run the business but it’s also had a huge and very disappointing impact on the level and quality of service that we provide. Many, many of our customers will know that we hold ourselves to extremely high standards of customer service and with everything that’s gone on over the last year, we have seen those levels drop, which is for me the worst part of the whole situation and one that I can’t apologise enough for. We had a period between websites where orders disappeared into the cosmos and we were unable to access our old system to process these. I have tried to address this issue, but if anybody was affected by this, please do contact me on shaun@feetus.co.uk so I can make it right!

Now we have the global pandemic that is the Corona Virus, but I think we’ll leave that for another blog post!

Sam Cassidy: Rating (Cost / Customer Service / Quality) : 5 / 5 / 5

I initially received a pair of Vibram five fingers that I couldn’t get on because of my high arches. When I contacted Feetus and explained, they were only too happy for me to exchange the product. However, some time elapsed before I was able to post the shoes back for a replacement pair (lace ups) but they were still happy to help me out. I’m really grateful as I love my new lace-up five finger running shoes and can’t wait to start training for my next ultra marathon in them.
Thank you so much for the brilliant customer service – I’ll definitely be shopping with you again :).

I had ordered Vibram five fingers KSO shoes for my son. The responsiveness of Feetus team was exceptionally good. Team was always online to help me to resolve my queries, track the order and ensured that I will get the shoes delivered in less than 24 hours duration. The shoes were packed well along with the toffees :). Also the quality of shoes was very good.
Feetus is very trustworthy and responsible group. I would encourage people to buy sports accessories / shoes etc. Online from Feetus UK.

I remember talking to Lee before he opened his store and it was good to see someone who knew about the products he was selling. I’ve bought from him a number of times and will continue to buy from him in the future. There are some fantastic offers and you won’t be able to find shoes for a cheaper price, along with the advice and expertise offered to help you make the right purchase.

I finally decided to jump on the minimalist wagon. I wanted to get my Vigrams from a recommended retailers. Feetus were absolutely brilliant. I received immediate confirmation of my order and within 2 days I was walking around in my new 5 fingers. Totally recommend this company. Super service.

Rhys Robinson: Rating (Cost / Customer Service / Quality) : 5 / 5 / 5

Briliant customer service. Initial had some sizing issues with the Vibram SeeYa and Lee was fantastic in advising me in what shoe would fit my training needs. I should have phoned to start with but I am not use to such good service from a seller!! Ended up going with the Komodo, also bought some Red Venom calf guards and these are better than my Skins!! Would recommend to any one!

Great value – the cheapest I have found for a new pair of vibram’s. Dispatched quickly so far so good

 

The Brand New Vibram FiveFingers SS13 Stock Is Here!

We received a BIG ORDER from Vibram yesterday. 

In this BIG order, included the red-hot EL-X and the super-cool Trek Sport Sandal – Both of which are brand new styles of Vibram FiveFingers for Spring/Summer 2013.

It has taken a lot longer than we expected for them to arrive, but we’re glad they’re here – and they’re in good company too. Popular styles are now (finally) replenished after Vibram’s popularity in the UK saw the likes of the Bikila LS, the KSO, and the Trek Sport SELL OUT!

In their debut day, the EL-X has proved most popular by a country mile, dominating our orders. Not surprisingly really, given it is now Vibram’s best-value offering – as well as being so lightweight, versatile, and good-looking.
