I Face Toe Tear Issue on Asics Gel Contend 9 After Light Use

I purchased my Asics Gel Contend 9 shoes from Boyner about 8 months ago. I’ve only used them for weekend walks, and despite such light use, a tear developed at the toe area in a short time. After seeing that other customers experienced similar issues with the same model, I believe this is a recurring defect in the series, not a user-related problem.

Although I no longer have the receipt, I am requesting a replacement for the defective product. I haven’t yet contacted Boyner or Asics customer service, but I expect a prompt response to resolve this issue and replace the shoes as soon as possible.
