I need to comment after seeing the post from the 'Shoe Zone worker' claiming the comments are fake. I experienced the exact same thing! My daughter wore the shoes to school for about 2 months, the bottom part in both shoes have massive holes in them. Since the rest of the shoes were still in good condition, I asked the shop if they offered a repair service because it felt wasteful to throw them away. The saleslady told me it was 'wear and tear' and there was nothing they could do. She added, 'What do you expect for a £15 pair of shoes?' For comparison, my daughter has a pair of boots she wore in Year 6 for about a year, and they are still in perfect condition. So yes, I do expect a pair of shoes to last longer than two months! PS - It doesn't allow me to upload photo!
