Beware of Fraud

Sadly, we live in a world where fraudulent social media profiles (especially from Instagram) have impersonated Softstar in an attempt to scam our fans by claiming they must use a link to enter credit card/payment info to redeem giveaway prizes. We do our best to report and shut down impersonator profiles when we find them, but if you receive a notice that you won one of our giveaways then please follow these tips to ensure your security:

  • This giveaway does not end until midnight on July 20, 2021. No winner will be selected until after that date. If you are told you won before this date then the message is fraudulent.
  • We will not require any additional registration or credit card/payment information from the winner. We will only ask for a shipping address for delivery of the prizes.
  • The winner will be notified by email, not by social media, and the message will come from an address with a domain of either @softstar.com or @softstarshoes.com. Messages from any other address domain are not from us.
  • The winner's first name will be posted on this page after the contest ends. If you are notified that you won then you can check back here to verify that your first name is displayed.

    I'm excited about trying the new hiking boot. I love my Sawyers so much. My feet have literally changed shape for the better.

    I have the ideal place to stargaze. Pahoa, Hawaii. My auntie left us an unspoiled off grid plot of land we enjoy camping on. The sky is stunning there. No light pollution whatsoever! You feel like you're standing IN the Milky Way.

    Thank you for all you do!
