Small, black, thread-like pieces are piercing or sticking into the bottom of the foot from the sole of the shoe. These foreign objects can only be removed from under the skin with tweezers. We’ve been trying to get an exchange for nearly two months now. The shoes were used for only one week. To determine whether the issue was caused by the foot itself, we tried a different pair of shoes and experienced no discomfort. But when we tried the same pair again, the issue appeared once more.
We trusted the brand and paid a high price for these shoes, yet we can’t find anyone to address the problem other than the intermediary store. On In Street’s complaint page, it’s impossible to provide any explanation outside of the preset categories. We also filed a complaint with FLO, selecting a mandatory category and describing the issue in the customer comment box. However, our request was rejected because the defect was “not considered a manufacturing fault.”
If a foreign object inside the shoe sole that pierces the foot is not a manufacturing defect, then what is it? Does only this specific shoe somehow cause the foot to “produce” foreign materials? This has been a major disappointment for us. When my sibling experienced a similar problem with a Lescon shoe, it was replaced one-to-one. Also, I haven’t even mentioned the deformation on the front of the shoe that happened within just five days of use.
On June 20, 2025, I bought a pair of Puma sports shoes from the FLO store for $77. I didn’t use the shoes for heavy work — only for daily, careful use. Despite that, about two months after purchasing them, the mesh on the front toe area started tearing and showed noticeable deformation. I personall...
About five months ago, I purchased a limited edition Skechers sneaker, which the brand proudly claimed was one of their most durable models. Despite only wearing them occasionally—not daily—the inner sides of the shoe started tearing, and the midsole began collapsing. I was shocked to see this level...
On July 15, 2025, I purchased a pair of black Vans Ryland LS shoes from the In Street store in Bodrum Midtown. I wore the shoes a total of about 20 days, with 2–3 days in between uses, within a 50-day period. However, a tear appeared near the stitching after a short time. After noticing the issue, ...
Three months ago, I bought a pair of Asics shoes from Marlin Spor. Shockingly, the shoes started cracking after just one month of light use. We’re talking about a fabric shoe—how does fabric even crack? Since then, I’ve spent two full months trying to get a refund or a replacement. They took the sho...
On March 17, 2025, I purchased a pair of Asics shoes with high expectations, largely based on the brand’s reputation and its claims of using premium materials. Today, I was shocked to discover that the front inner side of the shoe is already torn and deformed—and it hasn’t even been that long. What’...
