**UPDATE BELOW**

The shoes did arrive a week prior to the estimated delivery date, and they do look nice enough. However, that is all moot because the size 13s are 2-3 inches shorter than actual size 13s. For real! 2-3 INCHES!

Shoes not even tried on. …Just one shoe checked for sizing next to another size 13 shoe, then right back in the box to be returned. Very disappointing, since shoe sizes are standardized, and this should never happen.

Also, with a 25% restocking fee, and having to pay for return shipping, the most I could net is perhaps a $40USD refund, if that.

Such a shame because I was full of hope for a fun, novelty gift and, had they been sized accurately, I would've been a happy customer.

**UPDATE** I DID return the shoes, from Canada, and DID receive a refund of almost the full amount. The return process was fairly seamless. I initially paid $107.17CAD for the shoes. It cost me $47.64 in shipping, plus packing materials, to return the shoes. I was later refunded $90.97CAD. In all, tallmenshoes.com's error cost me at least $32 (+ my time, gas, etc.).

I was invited to write a review for a business, and this led to me writing several reviews at Trust Pilot.

I tend to only write positive reviews, in order to encourage more people to patronize companies I like. But, if a company is egregiously bad, I will sometimes write a negative review.

I'm a writer, and pretty reasonable. All my reviews, good, bad, or neutral, were 100% factual and written in decent English.

I went to write a new review, one day, and got an error message. Every search, even the home page, results in an error message for me. This means Trust Pilot has blocked my IP #, but never notified me of any issue. I have absolutely zero idea why.

Since all my reviews are factual, and didn't include foul language, hyperbole, or anything that would warrant not publishing those reviews, it means Trust pilot is actively manipulating reviews. This makes them, by definition, untrustworthy.

They, apparently, have such a tremendous issue with my truthful reviews, they blocked me from even being able to SEE their site or any reviews. How unprofessional, dishonest, cowardly even, to take such drastic measures, and not even notify me. You'd think I'd made threats or something! All I did was write honest reviews, most of them 5 stars!

I have hundreds of online reviews at various sites, and many have huge numbers of helpful votes. I'm proud of that because my intent is to help others find great businesses, and avoid the bad ones. Turns out, I now have to let people know Trust Pilot reviews aren't credible.
