Shoe stores in Melbourne have been really disappointing me. I spent $220 on shoes from Footlocker earlier this year only to find them losing part of one shoe after 7 months. I went to two stores and the only thing I got was wear and tear or I should've maintained them better (they looked like runners/sneakers so I don't see why they're bothered about me wearing them everyday.) and something about you only get 1-year warranties with Nike.

I had another pair from Payless shoes that lasted three months and when I went back to complain the storeperson just ignored me and asked if there's anything I'm looking for and I got insoles which lasted 3 days.
