Topman shoes.

Options
I bought a pair of suedette brogues from Topman just over 2 weeks ago. They're already getting holes in the heels, and although they've been used almost every day, I would say they've had heavy use. I know Topman are mainly fashion retailers, so would it be fair to ask for my money (£29) back?

Thanks in advance.

    "Under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 goods must be as described, of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose."
    Errrmmm, yes? I know I wouldn't be happy if they were getting holes after 2 weeks.
  • and although they've been used almost every day, I would say they've had heavy use.
    Did you really mean to say that . . or did you miss a word out?

    What is this heavy use you've subjected them to . . . ?;)

    Whoops, meant to say wouldn't. They've only been used to and from the station.

    Take them back. Shoes should last longer than two weeks. Are they going to suggest you shouldn't actually walk anywhere in them? SOGA stipulates goods should be of satisfactory quality so quote this if they drag their heels (no pun intended).
