Adding another data point: I got mine today (10/24) after ordering on 7/31, 
which gives credence to the 10-12 weeks-rather-than-days theory.

I got an UrbanRunner in my typical size. I usually wear "W" or "E" and 
these fit fine so maybe not meant for those with narrower feet. Very cushy 
out of the box - doesn't feel like it needs a break in period - and 
definitely has lots of personality for a casual shoe. The rubber band laces 
are weird, though, so I'll probably swap those out for traditional laces.

Congrats Ed!  

Pics?

Lace is the only nitpick I had with my shoes. Replaced them the second day.

The last week I had an errand close by and went into Valley Fair to see 
Sole Rebels.  They are not there anymore.

Came back home and ordered a pair of runAROUND FREEDOM 4 Mustard Yellow :)

Has anyone received their shoes?

company...

Hi all:

My shoes are due to ship October 10.  I truly believe that there was a typo 
in order receipt notification.  The 10 to 12 days was meant to say 10 to 12 
weeks.  If they are making the shoes from the basics, including spinning 
the material to create them, 10 to 12 days seems unrealistic.  Looking at 
the time frames of delivery, 10 to 12 weeks seems more realistic.  I hope 
everyone enjoys their shoes.

Thanks for sharing, Ash.

I just checked, and I'm on week 10. So you all are saying there's a

2019-08-07 Thread Jonathan Gutoff

Another data point. Without having read the posts on this topic, I ordered
a pair on May 9 of this year, 2019, at which time the website listed time
to fulfillment as 20 working days plus extra time for shipping. The website
now gives the time to fulfillment as six weeks -- Ii may be that the
original 12 days was not a typo, but, like the 20 working days and six
weeks, an overly optomistic goal.

In response to a message from me, on June 19 I got the following:

"Jonathan many thanks for your followup and please accept my apologies for
the delay - we have been extra busy these days. Your order is being
completed and you will soon get a shipment confirmation with tracking
information from the order team.

Thanks again for your business [ and your added patience] . We are excited
to get your soleRebels to you and onto your feet.

very best regards ,

*bethlehem tilahun alemu *

founder & c.e.o , soleRebels footwear"

I heard nothing for several weeks. On July 10, in response to another
message from me I got a email that said:

"Dear Jonathan,

Your order will ship Wednesday, July 24, 2019 Via FedEx Express AWB#
*811320214218
*and from shipping day it takes four working days to deliver.

Our apologies for the delay.
--

very best

Tirunesh Girma"

As of today, the order is still listed as unfulfilled and FedEx tracking
has no information on the wabill number I was provided. I sent a message
last night.
