HI-TEC NOT SO Hi-Tech!

I love Hi-Tec but I am very disappointed with the speed of wear and tear on their kiddies velcro tennis shoes. My daughter plays tennis and is on the court for 45min twice a week.

Between September - October, we have bought two pairs, costing R600 a pair due to wear and tear under the sneakers. For a sneaker that is meant for tennis, it is really disappointing. I will share the images on my social media accounts and the school's whatsapp group, very disappointing. Obviously spending R600 a month on a kiddies sneakers is not sustainable and will now have to consider other brands. Really Disappointing!!!

Reviewer Update
About 45 minutes after the above review, an official from Hi-Tec (Chris) called me to discuss.

He was very understanding of my concern and explained to me where things could have gone wrong.
A likely reason for the quick wear and tear is that I purchased a shoe that is not specifically designed for hard-court tennis activities. He provided me with product advice and a few recommendations for when my daughter's shoe size increases.

Above all, he was very helpful and made follow-up calls to assist me with a replacement pair.

Whilst I was frustrated, requesting assistance on product knowledge from store employees when I purchased the pair, would have made a world of difference.

Hi-Tec is not only "Hi-Tech" but their customer service is also exceptional.
I take back my words - it's a thumbs up from me!!!!

Regards
Kevin
