Brought a pair of Karrimor Summit walking shoes from Sports direct Thursday wore them last night and nearly went [censored] over tit when I walked into the gents, it was like walking on ice & the floor wan't particularly wet.
They are going back.

Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring

I'd like to be there when you tell them why you want a refund ! Don't think you'll have much luck. Will you be doing much walking on wet tiled floors ?0 -
Watched a programme on BBC a couple of weeks ago - flat soles (pumps?) are better on tiled / laminate floors as there is a greater area of contact between the wearer and the floor. Walking shoes with chunky grips are designed for mud / snow etc.
T'other half and DS have cheap Karrimor walking boots / shoes and they've been ok for the level of walking they do (some incline, up to 6 miles).0 -
I'm off Karrimor as well - bought some for dog walking, a couple of hours a day mainly on pavements and the sole has worn through to holes in under 2 months. Not impressed.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
Hmmm so if I understand this correctly you bought some shoes that are designed for use outside and your going to take them back and ask for a refund because they are not very good inside?
As others have said, good luck with that.
Please let us know how you get on0 -
