Is the unreasonable wear and tear should I take them back

[Lunchish]

I brought these shoes on the 5th of august so about 4 weeks ago I’ve only worn them like 3 times today I noticed this clearly I’ve scraped them on something but surely they should be able to with stand some wear and tear better.

I think if you’ve scraped them that’s not really wear and tear.

Well, they look like you ran over them! No, you can't return scratched and pitted shoes. If the sole had separated or something then, yes. Where are they from?

Depends if they are meant to be good quality? I would try my luck and see if they will replace

You've scraped them, I don't think that's wear and tear unfortunately.

From this style I wouldn't expect them to be particularly hard wearing. What happened to them??

Scraping isn’t wear & tear

They are terrible quality

I'm really hoping they cost you a fiver, if more than £40 I'd take them back

How much did you pay for them?

How much did you pay for them ?

They look like they’ve been dragged along a cheese grater. I don’t think you’d have any luck unless they’re very hot on making goodwill gestures but they don’t appear to be faulty. Leather has to be treated with a bit of care.

Sorry they are like that after 3 wears? Is that 3 week long let’s never take them off wears?

No you have damaged then, if I was the shop I wouldn’t be taking them back

You need to take better care

They where from Jones boot makers so not hugely cheap and all my other shoes from there have lasted yonks and been great quality. I’ve only worn them to work 3 times I’m a receptionist I must have scraped them badly but can’t remember doing it. Any suggestions for shoes like this that might last better?

Is that one shoe or both shoes, I can’t tell sorry.

If it is one shoe, then yes I would tend to say you have stubbed your foot against something and damaged them. If both shoes have the same, well I find it peculiar that you would stub or scrape both feet and would be more inclined to think it was a quality issue.

Other shoe is similar but not as bad

Wow! Thats shocking their shoes are normally good! Did you take them back?

You could try polishing them to see if they look better?

I haven’t taken them back have only just noticed wanted to see if I was being unreasonable first

I would take them back. They should last longer than 3 weeks unless you've been rock climbing in them.

Were you kneeling down on a stone floor?
I've damaged a pair of shoes in a similar way when I scrubbed our stone floor the old fashioned way.

Don’t have any stone floor wood floor/carpet at home and at work but I always take my shoes off when I get home

You need shoes with a proper sole anything that thing just won’t last - speaking from experience.
Next is quite good

You can try but that’s not wear and tear you’ve signficantly scraped them. They clearly didn’t just disintegrate, they have very obviously been scraped hard over something.

They look like you've been kicking a walk or had a massive fall and scraped them. Not wear and tear.

Have you been on an escalator? I stood too forward on one once and the step in front of me tried to eat my shoe, it left the same kind of damage
