    Any update on when those promised December replacements of the shoes that should have been delivered months ago will be shipped? I’m guessing December will now have slipped to a Jan or Feb shipping window…

    I’m sorry Nat - but I’ve got to take issue there with two points (and yes, I’m the same guy who raised an issue through your CS). It was pointed out on the CS message thread that I’d received a shipping notice email and tracking link - I never received this for the v2s … just for the ULs on the...

    And a final point re: the above ... if I had never thought to query this, would the issue ever have been identified? In other words ... if I'd kept quiet and followed the 'don't worry they'll turn up' message on this forum ... would I have missed even the boat on getting these at all?

    I want to preface this post by saying that I completely appreciate the difficulties around what Archibald have been doing during the pandemic. I get that ... but I'm afraid that things have not been plain sailing and it's gotten to the point where I feel that I have to raise it here. It's...

    Hoping there’s someone from Archibald who might spot this… Is there a delay in the SF01s compared to the ultra lights? I ordered a pair of the revised SF01s one week after ordering my ULs. ULs arrived waaay back at the start of August, but there’s still no sign of the SF01s. Ordered on 29th...

    So … some further thoughts on the ULs. After a ‘field test’ this evening (early dinner and walk afterwards) they’re super flexible and light. They did take me a bit of getting used to - not in terms of comfort (super comfy - with fantastic ability to hold the heel properly) but in terms of how...

    Just a quick post… Received my tan ULs this afternoon. I haven’t had a chance to photograph them yet, but I’ve got to say … they’re damn nice. Super light and comfortable, with a fantastic fit (I sized down one size to 44 from my usual 45) - excellent finish as well. Really happy with them...

    Quick question - have the v2.5s/v3s and ultra lights shipped yet? The last update from around the 22nd July was that there was an issue with the boxes ordered that was slowing down dispatch. I’m just curious as a few members seem to have received their shoes in the last week or so (and that...

    Okay ... I’ve got to enthuse more about these sneakers. I’ve seen antiquing/anticato done before - on everything from dubious direct to consumer brands that Facebook likes to throw into my feed (back in the dinosaur days when I still used it) to high end ‘designer’ brands that like to charge...

    So ... a very quick message for the benefit of the guys at Archibald. My anticato/sienna pair just arrived - thankfully without a demand for customs duty or tax (yay for institutional inefficiencies in our postal service!). They are, by any measure, perfect. I haven’t time to put photos up at...

    So ... just to be clear ... when my own order results in customs duty and VAT in Ireland, which I’ll now have to pay on arrival/receipt, I’ll be refunded through a payment back to either PayPal or CC (can’t even remember at this stage how it was paid for) rather than credit with Archibald? I...

    And apologies to this forum as well - I’d rather my first post on here was a little more upbeat!

    I appreciate the steps that you’re taking to try to resolve the shipping issues. I am slightly concerned that there’s a potential for deliveries of the v2 to be delayed until after new year - and for those of us in the EU who ordered back in August to become liable for import fees that we never...
