I purchased a pair of Nike kids' sports shoes for my son at a price of over ₺2,000, and he used them only on indoor parquet flooring for approximately 20 training sessions over 2 months. Despite this light use, one shoe's Velcro strap completely stopped holding. We returned it for inspection, only to be told it was a “user error.” The store even suggested it might have gotten wet.
Let me be clear:
My son doesn’t play water polo.
Even if he had stepped in water (which he didn’t), did he only do so with one foot?
Is this an electronic device that malfunctions from light moisture?
Nowhere on the shoe does it say, “Do not use outdoors” or “Avoid water.”
If you still insist it's user error, I ask you—what exactly could my child have done to damage the Velcro in such a short time?
I’m not someone who would lie over ₺2,000. But I will not allow my intelligence to be insulted, nor stand by while another father who may have spent his last savings to buy his child a pair of shoes experiences the same unfairness.
Due to this treatment, I will be filing a formal complaint with the Consumer Arbitration Board—my first time ever doing so. Nike, you’ve lost a loyal customer by refusing to take accountability.
I purchased a pair of Nike Vapor cleats for my son approximately 6 months ago. Despite using them only on artificial turf and indoor fields, several of the studs broke or fell off. When I sent the cleats in for inspection, Nike replied that the issue was due to user error. This is unacceptable. I ha...
In the past six months, I’ve had issues with two Nike shoes purchased from different stores. The Air section of a five-month-old pair burst and came apart at the seams, while the Velcro on a two-month-old pair I bought for my child completely stopped functioning. I sent both pairs in for inspection,...
I bought a pair of Nike basketball shoes from Sneak Up, expecting durability from a premium brand. After just 3 months of indoor use on a basketball court, the shoes started splitting open at the sides, as shown in the photos I submitted. I returned to the store to request a replacement, but the com...
I bought 2 pairs of Nike shoes, which quickly became deformed. One pair had detached side glues, while the other had leather tears. Both pairs were worn by two different people and became deformed as a result. I took both pairs to the store for inspection twice, and both times they said it was due t...
