Why Our Customers Buy Again.

Along the years we have learned that SOM Footwear is not like any other shoes. There is, perhaps, something indefinable about them, so we always like to help more people to give them a try; to feel the difference for themselves. For that purpose, we offer risk free If you try a pair of SOMs - always risk free - there's a big chance that you'll be back for another pair. There is no better way to understand why this is so than by listening to what our customers are already saying.

Here we have compiled, by age group, the reasons why our customers come back to buy SOM shoes time after time. These are anonymous answers to our optional order confirmation survey from the past year.

Warning: The biggest risk to trying SOM Footwear is that you may love them as much as they do!
