Faulty shoes or expected wear and tear

[Busybee233]

Brought two pairs of shoes around £50 each both pairs have been worn for one day at work reception job no real walking envolved I've complained and am taking them to store tomorrow but I don't want to be fobbed off

I think it's wear and tear actually. You're not saying the sole is peeling off or there's a hole. The chunk out of the black one has been caused by you, as someone has already said it wouldn't just fall out, so you must have caught it on something

They aren't the best shoes for my feet but I normally wear boots or trainers they where brought last week online I recived them on Thursday

Have you driven in them?

I don't drive got a lift with family to work

And I only work 7.5 hours

Take them back.
I'm not sure about the black ones so maybe separately.

The gold shouldn't just come off by walking in them. They look kicked up.

How droll 2017 dyslexia eh? guffaw.

The black pair look like they've been damaged by an office chair, bending your knees and pulling your feet up under the seat (which is what I do, and have done this to shoes). Similar with the gold pair, they look scuffed

I don't have an office chair just a normal chair at the moment as the chair broke last week

It's bad form on Mumsnet posts Angel.

OP, if you are nervous of taking them back to the shop you can post them back to office. If you are on facebook you can message their head office on there and they reply within minutes. I would take them back too. £50 is too much money to wear once and they should be fit for the work you describe.

Apologies to the grammar police for any errors on my part

Sorry - I don't mean it in a horrible way, but if you're going to complain correct spelling makes a difference. I am trying to be helpful even if the grammar police police don't think I am.

They aren't the best shoes for my feet but I normally wear boots or trainers they were bought last week online I received them on Thursday

The chunk out of the black ones is just bad luck, you can't really complain about that, they must have caught against something, go over the scrape with a sharpie, no one is going to notice.

The creasing on the other ones ...it wouldn't bother me but is that a scuff on the toe as well? Were you bending right down causing the creasing and the scuff?

I don't really think either are faulty tbh

Tbh they look very flimsy, and should last more than a day of light wear, which is what op was doing. I would take them back, ask for a refund, and get more sturdy pair.

I've done this recently with some school shoes.

"I'd like to return these for a refund as they're faulty" when they ask what the fault is, just show the shoes and explain you've only worn them for one day.

When did you buy them? You should be able to get a full refund

I returned some M&S trainers after DS who is usually light at wearing shoes down managed to entirely wear away the uppers of the toe in one day. Scuffs I'd have accepted as wear and tear, but the materials of the shoe just weren't durable enough to withstand reasonable play from a child of that age.

The assistant looked that it was a day's play, but I had the receipts and pointed out that the soles and uppers were still very clean showing little time in use.

I got the refund.
