Dantone Boutique

"Buyer beware!!!! I purchased a pair of Gelato Tessa black leather tennis shoes from Dantone Boutique online for $138.95 for a trip. The shoes arrived in their original shoe box, which was torn and dirty. The shoes were dusty, eyelets in one shoe were sewn at a diagonal causing it to fit incorrectly (see photos), there was a torn spot on the leather and the 2nd pair of shoe strings that come with these shoes was missing. The knotted shoe strings pop out of the eyelets when stepping down. Due to these issues I emailed him asking how to return them and get a refund for the shoes and shipping. The owner responded and said he would not refund me my money and to pick another pair. I have a narrow foot and he has no other shoes that I’m familiar with and now would not even have them for my trip. He refuses to reimburse for shipping so it would be expensive to keep ordering and sending back shoes. He also can get a full refund from the shoe maker since these are damaged, but he’d rather be rude and difficult. Edit: Nothing was explained about returning damaged shoes in advance of my purchase. I purchased expensive shoes and he provided damaged shoes. He has some reputable shoe brands, but does not take care of them or inspect them prior to mailing out. So now I’m out $138.95. BUYER BEWARE!! Edit: I mailed these shoes back at the weight the store owner used of 1 lb. I was contacted by USPS that it was incorrect and had to add an additional $4.60. Owner also REFUSED the package. So now I’m out $138.95 for damaged shoes and $18.05 in shipping. Owner is dishonest with his shoes and shipping costs with the USPS. I will stick to my local small businesses and/or Amazon."

"Great collection if you want to try out some new brands. They have a ton of leather European shoes. I got a pair of boots and my boyfriend got a pair of sneakers, both leather, and both have broken in beautiful."

"If you want your girlfriend to fall in love with you- Don't miss out on this local gem- extraordinary sexy European, hard to find shoes. Your feet will thank you."

"By far the best collection of high quality, stylish, yet comfortable shoes - primarily Italian, some Spanish, German... where the best shoes are made. Sexy men's shoes too. Both me and my husband LOVE this store. We travel a lot and there are great options for stylish long-wearing shoes suitable for extensive travel in addition to everyday wear. Try on some of the unique brands - you'll be surprised how well they fit your feet! (Common brands in Euro, not easy to find here). The owner/buyer travels to Europe 3x year to choose the latest and greatest."

"State of The Art , one of a kind shoe store, if you do not want to search endlessly for the right pair of shoes for every occasion, you can find anything from extraordinary to everyday simple and comfortable here.The owner goes out of his way to fit you with the best shoe in town."
