Asics Running Shoe Side Sole Tears and Cushioning Fails in Two Days of Wear

On May 29, 2026, at around 7:53 PM, I purchased a pair of Asics Novablast running shoes in size 42.5 from the Asics store at Tahrir and Saat Mall in Istanbul, paying $259. I only wore them for two days, but in that short time the side of the sole began showing wear and blowout damage, and the cushioning visibly deteriorated as well.When I went back to the store to return them, my request was turned down. I find it completely unacceptable that a pair of running shoes I paid this much for would fall apart in just two days.I am asking that my shoes be properly inspected and replaced, and that this situation be resolved in my favor.
