I've passed by this shop so many times but never gave it a second glance. Finally I was visited by…read morenecessity; one of my shoes was starting to "talk" by coming apart. This made walking around Copenhagen very annoying! There were four groups of ladies looking at and trying on shoes so at first I was mainly staying out of their way and peering at the merchandise over their shoulders. It's a roomy store but I was feeling anxious. When I finally found a boot that I liked, the man behind the counter was happy to find my size. I tried it on, then hemmed and hawed a bit over how tight it was.. he offered to get me the next size up and that was unfortunately too large. He mentioned that this brand tended to run a little tight but the material would give a little. While I thought about it, he went to assist the other ladies and I didn't feel pressured to buy at all. He brought me another pair of boots to try but I finally decided to get the original pair that I picked out. When I got to the register I asked him to throw out my old shoes, but first he offered to repair them. That was very kind; although he realized how bad the damage was once I put them on the counter. He tossed them for me and even went outside to spray my new boots before I put them on, saying that it might be raining later that day and it would protect the material. Excellent service that I have not seen in many shoe stores anywhere, especially not Denmark.

I ordered a pair of shoes from Notabene in early December. When they arrived, it was immediately…read moreclear that they had been worn. The soles were dirty and the toes were visibly creased. I contacted customer support and provided photos of the wear. Their response was that the shoes were new and that by placing an order I had agreed to the possibility of receiving shoes that had been tried on. This explanation does not align with the condition of the shoes I received, the wear was far beyond what could reasonably be described as having been "tried on." I have now been attempting to return the damaged shoes for over two weeks, but customer service has stopped responding to my follow-up emails. If everything goes smoothly and no customer support is required, purchasing from Notabene may be a pleasant experience. However, if an issue arises, the lack of responsiveness and accountability makes the experience extremely frustrating.
