I purchased The North Face Hedgehog Futurelight shoes in 2022 from Etichet. Although I used the product only in daily city life under completely normal conditions, the mesh area on the front toe section tore within a short period of time. The shoes were never exposed to impact, harsh use, or heavy outdoor conditions.
For comparison, I still actively use the same model that I purchased in 2019. Despite using that older pair for years in villages, mountains, and rough terrain, it has only experienced natural wear and tear, with no similar tearing issue. In contrast, the 2022 version tearing quickly under light, urban use clearly shows a significant decline in product quality between the two versions.
Considering the expected lifespan of a shoe in this segment, such early damage at the toe area is unacceptable. I contacted the Etichet store where I made the purchase, but no solution was offered. I have already provided the invoice along with images and purchase records of both the 2019 and 2022 products.
Under consumer protection laws, I consider this product defective and request either a full refund or a replacement. I expect a prompt and customer-focused resolution.

They were sent, ...
I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the outdoor shoes I purchased from The North Face. Despite being marketed and sold as durable footwear designed for rugged terrain, the shoes began to show serious signs of wear after only a short period of light, everyday use.

In November 2024, I purchased a pair of The North Face Litewave Futurelight shoes from Boyner, paying $203. I used the shoes daily for work — commuting by car and walking around the store where I work as a manager. However, over the last 3–4 months, both shoes have developed tears and holes in the m...
