My appreciation was short lived though! Within the day of wearing, flakes of paint came off!
Aghast at the thought of being shortchanged, I took the shoes back to the counter and demanded an explanation.
"The paint will also come off your car bumper should you knock it against anything!" said the supervisor, sarcastically!
That very statement infuriated me! "Hello! Look here!" I exclaimed, and gently peeled the coat of paint off a new section!
"See this???! This is, without a doubt, a defective product. Whatever it is, if nothing favourable arise out of this, I will take the case to the Consumers Tribunal!" I threatened!
Weeks later, a directive came from their head office to have the pair of shoes replaced with another design. Why not the same design? Obvious, right??
I compromised, and settled for the sandals depicted below....
It wasn't until March 2012, that I started to wear them to my belly dancing and yoga classes. There, at the classes, we go barefooted!
The sandals have never been exposed to dampness even on rainy days, as my car sits right under the car porch and bays at Penang Swimming Club are sheltered!
What can one conclude from the adhesive wearing away so easily???
