Same. I'm approaching one year on my order. Reached out to CS twice but no response. Not great.Well...
My delivery date of 1-15-24 didn't change this time on said date on the site, so I took that as a good sign.
But now it's 8 days past that, and I have no tracking info.

I’m claiming it as a loss on my taxes, you genius…But at least you cut out the middlemen.

Just to say thanks for getting in touch so promptly and for the discussion.Hi NAT
Would be wonderful if you could reply to my DM and email.
Thanks
Crown Northamptons customer service and reply speed is one of the slowest in the business, I speak from experience. https://www.styleforum.net/threads/crown-northampton-appreciation-thread.686014/page-8#post-11655447View attachment 2156325 I finally received some shoes 5 months after placing my order. The only issue being this isn't what I ordered. The shoes are supposed to have a white sole.
After reaching out to support about this they said:
"
Have looked at the internal notes, the team located a pair with the same specs in our separate stock and decided to send you that first (at least we thought we had). The pair you have ordered is in fact still in production so the correct one is one the way.
Given that we have delivered you the pair already, we would like to suggest some options here.
- For you to return the pair and we can send you the correct pair.
- To keep the Gum Sole pair for a discount of 15 USD. Add an additional 10 USD to your Archibald account as site credit.
- To keep the Gum Sole pair for a discount of 15 USD, and possibly for you to purchase the other pair too for a 15USD discount too. Add an additional 10 USD to your Archibald account as site credit.
Once again apologies for the inconvenience caused, however please do let me know what you think."
After replying that I would like to return the incorrect item they sent and get what I actually ordered, I haven't heard anything back since. This was 3 weeks ago... Archibald makes great shoes for a good price, but I'm sick of the runaround.
At this point I'm convinced it's better to pay a little more to get Crown Northamptons, as to not deal with this level of unprofessionalism.
I ended up ordering some buffalo leather shoes from Northampton. Took exactly 2 months for me receive them. I got exactly what I ordered, and ahead of schedule, so I never needed to contact their customer service (as it should be). The pic is from after 1 month of use. The quality, comfort, and craftsmanship all seem to be a notch above Archibald, making the additional cost pretty worth it—especially with Northampton's resole service available.Crown Northamptons customer service and reply speed is one of the slowest in the business, I speak from experience.
What soles does Goral use? Do they use Margom soles?I since switched to dealing with Goral and it's a big improvement in that regard and the sneakers imo look way better.
Great to hear that you had no issues. I did, hence why I can talk about the customer service speed and efficiency and also the quality issues, which were very much present in the most unwearable ways in every pair of shoes I ordered except one. Plus, the more I wear and look at my Harlestones shells the uglier they look with the lumpy folds they have developed.I ended up ordering some buffalo leather shoes from Northampton.

As for the wrong order of SF-01 V3's I received... 2+ months ago now, Archibald London still hasn't responded to any of my multiple additional emails on the matter. Haven't received any shipping return label or update, and assume at this point, I will never receive the shoes I ordered. The principle of my experience is dissapointing to say the least, especially seeing how this isn't the first time Archibald London has sent me the incorrect shoes. The previous time they sent me SF-01 V1's when I paid for V2's.
What soles does Goral use? Do they use Margom soles?
They look like Margom soles, but they don't specifically say that they are, and couldn't find any pictures that would positively identify them as such, showing the signature stamp on the bottom.
For the price point they're at, I hope they didn't cheap out with an "in house" sole.
