Slide Belts Reviews

good but can improve quality

I have had trouble with my belt easily coming apart at the end that is to be attached, not the latch. Frustrating but it does adjust and is ok if I don't unbuckle it

I bought my first SlideBelt in 2016. I needed a beautiful and durable black dress belt. It is still beautiful after 7 years of daily wear. In January 2022, I decided to buy some casual belts to wear in retirement. One of which is their "Distressed Black Checkered" belt. I LOVE IT! Actually, I think it is the last belt I will ever need. It goes with absolutely everything I wear.

I purchased two belts. One black with gray buckle. One brown with silver buckle. I wore the black one much more than the brown and quickly had the buckle pins fall out and get lost. They replaced the buckle twice, but the pins always fall out. Later when I was forced to use the silver buckle those pins also fell out. I thought I was buying an expensive belt to last, but it's just cheap garbage.

20220707 - Revised to two stars, because they did provide two replacements, even if they all had the same problem. I was able to design and 3d print a small plastic bracket which keeps the pins in, so I'm using both belts again.

Belt didn’t last long enough to see if the clasp held up. Had a similar experience to several other reviewers where the teeth of the buckle eventually rip through the end of the belt and it comes apart at in opportune times. I trimmed it long with this in mind but have now run out of extra length. Had the first failure after about a week. Won’t replace.

The belt itself is a good idea and I have purchased two. I have had them more than a year, so when they came apart and I needed the pin that fell out of the buckle. It failed on both buckles. No parts avail. I tries a nail and a paperclip. Tie wrapped too. The nail looking brad fell out. There are two per buckle. It will not work without. A set of replacement rivets would be great, so you do not have to buy a new buckle

The belt itself is great. The buckle not so much. I purchased my original almost three years ago. The fist buckle started rattling a couple months after purchase because the release lever did not stay flush. I wore it anyways because I like the concept. Eventually the hinge pins fell out. Slidebelts offered me a discount on a new belt and buckle. I installed the new buckle on my old belt because it still looked brand new. This buckle has rattled since I took it out of the box. I don't think I will try another one.

Great idea but buckle is poorly made and simply fell apart. I now have a perfectly good belt with no way to hold it together. They are aware of the defect.
Their solution is to offer a 25% discount on another defective product. They don't realize that it costs more to get new customers than to service existing ones. I wish then luck but will if they continue to offer the same poorly made product will not be buying from them again.

The belt lasted a little over a year before falling apart. The warranty is good for 12 months, so the company acknowledges it’s a disposable product. I expect a belt to last more than a year. I complained and was offered a 15% discount (widely available) or a “factory second belt.” (i.e. cosmetic defects). I don’t recommend this product.

Have had two buckles to lose the pin which holds the two parts of the buckle together. Found customer service to be wonderful. Shipped me a brand new one the first time, and since the second is over a year old, they sent me a second for no money. I question the quality, but the service and stand behind their product is great. Unfortunately, I don't trust the belt, so when I travel, I always carry a regular belt.
