Dishonesty kings

Very dishonest and extremely poor quality , Footgear and Hi-Tec sport shoes , totally ******* . people always say we should not buy imitation shoes as they do not last , so I bought a pair of " name brand " Hi-tec running shoes for more than R600 from Footgear and they have only lasted about 7 months ... the shoe is pulling away from the soles , absolute ******* . I have got more use out of a PEP stores shoe that only cost R 140 . Hi-Tec running shoes are a complete waste of money , do not buy Hi-tec or at Footgear . Bought at Footgear last year but their excuse is shoe is over 10 years old ( why was it still on shelf??? ) , how do we as customers know how old the stock is in a shop as there was not best by date on box . Hi-Tec and Footgear are very dishonest and sell ******* and management of both just duck and dive the responsibility or purposely avoid the client . Tried how many times to sort the problem out but Footgear are the most dishonest and deceptive store/ so called managers I have ever dealt with , AVOID FOOTGEAR
