Listen to this bullshit re: Target.

Ordered a pair of shoes, paid $10 to have them here by this weekend. Got them today, they've clearly been worn before.

Called Target. The customer service rep had an attitude right off the bat, even though I was sweet as pie.

The best they would do was give me a $10 credit, even though I now have to pay more than I did originally to have a new pair overnighted.

Not cool, Target. Not cool.

That sucks. I would annoy them until I was satisfied. I have used this method before to satisfactory results.

[sake]

they kind of look like they were maybe worn indoors, like in a store, and been tried on several times, but the bottoms don't look to me like they have ever been worn outdoors.

[LeggsBenedict]

honestly, the new pair will look like that an hour after you put them on anyway.

I don't give a shit. They've clearly been worn and they sent used shoes to me. That's unacceptable.

Post the pics on their facebook page.

I would keep the slightly worn shoes and pocket the $10.

Those cheap suede-y type of shoes wear really easily. They could have looked like that just from rubbing together.

this is what i was thinking as well... I wasn't trying to make cbwm1 more pissed

The bottoms look new to me but the top pic posted (side of shoe?) looks pretty beat up to be considered new.

[lemon]

I don't think they're clearly used shoes. I think they're clearly crappy, cheap shoes though. That's how their crappy cheap shoes always look.

I know, I can't expect a ton from $30 shoes. But I would at least like them to look nice when I first put them on. lol

Too bad you didn't buy them at LL Bean. They probably would have refunded your money AND given you a pedicure.

Fair warning about the Facebook practice: This means all of your FB friends will be able to see what you post. It will show up in their feeds. That may be no big deal to you, but it was a little awkward for me when I posted to Radio Flyer's page about a missing part (after trying to get hold of customer service for weeks). I was very polite, but clear that I was disappointed. Several of my friends and family members "liked" and commented on my post for days afterward... it apparently kept getting bumped up on their feeds. Sigh.

Can't you return them?

I am. And I ordered a new pair to be shipped overnight. While I'm getting a $10 credit, I still had to pay $14 to have a new pair shipped overnight.

[Jalapeñomel]

Can you take them to the store to return them?

That's the plan. I would have just bought the damn things in the store, but they didn't have my size.

[TrickyBob]

I had a pair like that, that I got from Payless. Same material and everything and they never wore like that.

[Champagne Supernova]

At least they sent you the right pair. Aldo sent me a completely wrong one and in the wrong size! I have someone else's order.

But I agree, it shouldn't look like that if it came from the warehouse. The shoes probably rubbed on each other during transit.

[snickers]

That's shitty.
I would also say put it on their fb page or something, you have nothing to lose.
