I struggled with recurrent stomach breakouts

I struggled with recurrent stomach breakouts, completely unaware of my nickel allergy. Multiple doctor visits failed to diagnose it. However, since acquiring your nickel-free belt, my issues have vanished. Even when I consume foods causing bloating, I no longer experience rashes on my stomach. This belt has been a lifesaver, relieving a problem that perplexed medical professionals. I want to express my sincere gratitude for providing a product that has significantly improved my comfort and quality of life. It's not just a belt; it's a solution that's made a profound difference for me. Thank you!

I've had a nagging rash on my stomach

I've had a nagging rash on my stomach just above my belt for nearly 10 years, and about a month ago a skin doctor said it was a nickel reaction from my belt buckles. I've been using a new belt with a titanium buckle for a few weeks now, and the rash is gone.

Been rocking with these

Been rocking with these guys for ages, and let me tell you, they're like the BFFs of the nickel-free world. Super friendly and helpful – never disappoint. The selection is massive, borderline overwhelming, but hey, choices are always a good thing, right?

You've made my stepson very happy

You've made my stepson very happy. He's highly allergic to nickel, and he loves the quality of the belt. You've made me happy that the belt is the same cost as any nickel-buckled belt I can find in a department store. It's a win-win. Thank you!

The item was really good!

The item was really good! I got no nickel earings for my fiancée and she liked them a lot. The look and the materials were just right for her.

I tried the Nickel Alert to test my jewelry

I tried the Nickel Alert to test my jewelry, belts, and accessories for nickel. I found it surprising. Almost all my belts contained nickel, and most of my vintage jewelry did too. It explains some issues... Also, some cheap jewelry from China had nickel. I wish there was a simple way to check for lead and cadmium too.

This company is on another level

This company is on another level. Lightning-fast delivery and top-notch quality. No annoying pinching when I'm sitting, zero itchiness even when I'm sweating buckets, and bonus – it doesn't feel like an ice pack on my tummy despite the gut hang. Pure comfort and satisfaction!

I placed an order for two new belts in the hope of better quality

I placed an order for two new belts in the hope of better quality. About a year ago, I purchased two belts, and to be honest, I wasn't entirely satisfied with their quality. One of them had issues with a significant plating loss on the buckle, and the other belt experienced a problem where the buckle separated from the belt due to a less than ideal connection method using pins and a clamp. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for improved durability this time around.

So, the size was spot-on

So, the size was spot-on, but here's the kicker – the design is a real head-scratcher. No opening under the buckle to slide the tip through and secure it in that little loop. What gives? It's like having a belt with no buckle magic. Pretty bummed because it makes the whole thing basically unusable. They might need to rethink this design hiccup.

I received an item different from the one I initially ordered

I received an item different from the one I initially ordered, and it seems that the error occurred during the online purchase process on your website. The situation became more frustrating when I realized the high delivery cost. I was charged $50 CAD for the delivery of an item that costs only $100 CAD. To add to my disappointment, the delivery person unexpectedly asked for an extra $25 USD (equivalent to around 37 CAD) for customs fees, a charge that was neither mentioned nor included in your website's information. The total expense for the delivery surpassed the actual product's price, and regrettably, the product's quality did not justify the cost. In the end, I paid over 200 CAD for a product that did not provide the same satisfaction I received from a fabric belt I purchased for just 30 CAD, shipping included. This entire experience has left me extremely displeased, and I find it difficult to consider making future purchases from your company.

I initially loved the belt and

I initially loved the belt and had no reaction to the metal, giving me hope that it would be a suitable option. However, after wearing it only about three times, I noticed the finish starting to come off. By the fifth wear, the entire top half of the belt had lost its finish, revealing a brass-colored metal underneath. This deterioration occurred despite wearing the belt exclusively with suits for a few hours each time. Upon reaching out to customer service, I received a delayed response stating that I must be tough on my belts, attributing the issue to my usage and claiming that such wear typically takes 1 to 2 years. Despite my gentle use, they refused to replace the belt or offer a credit, placing the blame squarely on me. This experience with their customer service has been disappointing, and I strongly discourage others from purchasing this belt.

I, like a previous reviewer, wore the belt only six times

I, like a previous reviewer, wore the belt only six times (primarily for airport travel) when the tongue of the buckle unexpectedly broke off. I contacted customer service, sent them detailed photos, and, as per their instructions, shipped the belt back at my own expense. Much to my dismay, the response was less than satisfactory. They claimed that my usage had been "rougher than intended" (which was not the case), and the proposed solution was an additional $12 for shipping with a month or so turnaround time to fix it. When I requested them to simply return the belt, they refused unless I covered the shipping costs. This experience has been characterized by horrendous customer service. My advice: Do NOT Buy!!

I wore the belt only six

I wore the belt only six times, primarily for airport travel, when the tongue of the buckle broke off. Upon contacting customer service and sending them photos, I followed their instructions and sent the belt back at my own expense. Much like the previous reviewer, I was informed that the belt use was considered "rougher than intended" (which was not accurate). They offered to fix it with a month or so turnaround but insisted on an additional $12 for shipping. When I requested them to return the belt without repairs, they refused unless I paid for the shipping. This experience has left me extremely dissatisfied with their customer service. I strongly advise against making a purchase.

The belt I bought had a buckle that bent

The belt I bought had a buckle that bent with regular use. Upon contacting the company with photos, Michael Dow suggested gently bending the pin back, emphasizing their nickel-free design for a rash-free experience. However, the response was unsatisfactory, as he refused a refund, citing a policy against refunds for used belts. The durability issue and the lack of customer support left me disappointed with the overall experience.
