In January 2024, I purchased a pair of Skechers Skech-Air Court sneakers. These shoes were worn lightly, only on weekends, and never for intense activities like running or hiking. Despite this, I noticed the side seams had started to split. When I took the shoes to a Skechers store to send them in for inspection, the store associate also noticed something even more alarming—the soles were cracked open underneath.
We added this issue to the inspection report and sent the shoes in, fully expecting Skechers to acknowledge this as a manufacturing defect. Instead, we received the shoes back with a note stating there was “no production-related issue”—and the refund or replacement request was rejected.
How can a brand claim there is no production fault when shoes with minimal use are visibly tearing apart in multiple areas? This is clearly a serious quality issue, and it’s outrageous that Skechers refuses to take responsibility. I will not purchase from Skechers again unless they compensate me for this damage. If necessary, I am prepared to pursue this issue through all available channels.
Skechers must take accountability for poor craftsmanship and restore consumer trust.
