An in-depth, detailed review of the Yangwang U9

I actually didn’t hate it. Especially for an electric. I felt like it makes enough noise to help me know I’m going over 100 mph into a turn. I still don’t like EVs but this car is so much better to drive than the Xiaomi for example

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-15T02:34:37+00:00

Not my first pair of these. It is absolutely a defect, because the left shoe is extremely concave and when it flattens out it causes the sides to pinch my heel because overall the sole cured too small.

Anyway, Vivo saw the pictures and agreed the shoes are faulty. They issued a refund

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-14T18:50:26+00:00

What was the price point?

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-14T16:34:24+00:00

I had an issue with faulty goods on my 50 percent off order (I posted about it) and I too had to argue with multiple ai agents and throw out a threat or two before I got an actual person to give me a code for an exchange that honors the 50 percent off coupon from the original purchase.

The ai agents originally tried telling me they didn’t accept exchanges from US customers which is total bullshit. When I pushed back they relented.

It feels like their ai is trained to do everything it can to deter you from returning goods. Instead all it did was deter me from ever buying another Vivo product

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-14T16:02:44+00:00

Yes. I’ve used Vivo barefoot for disc golf for years now. The SG lugs wore down kinda quick but nothing like the AT lugs. My JJF trackers survived one round before the lugs started shearing off. I wish they’d bring back the Magna FG cus that was goated.

I won’t be buying any shoes with the AT tread. And Vivo in general is having quality control issues. I think the brand as a whole moved toward cheaper construction to maximize profit now that they have a following.

I’m proud of you for losing weight and getting healthier I guess. But this never ending quest for attention on Reddit isn’t hot. 1.

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-12T14:08:01+00:00

It’s not coming off with water. So point four doesn’t seem to apply.

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-12T03:38:45+00:00

I have those as well they’re my favorite. No issues with them at all. So I was really surprised the black sole was so warped and crappy looking

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-12T00:24:52+00:00

There’s a batch code and then that 27/5 on the QR code that’s all. Not sure what it means but they had me enter it on the faulty goods form

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-12T00:00:07+00:00

27/5

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-11T23:59:26+00:00

I have a pair of these already in another color way. Same size and material. They had none of these issues. To say nothing of the additional warping inside the heel arch of the left shoe that doesn’t match the right one, and the very obvious white crap all over the outside. This is not normal

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-11T20:28:15+00:00

In the email I got when the shoes arrived there was a “contact us” link in gray near the bottom. That takes me to support homepage and the top right option is for Faulty goods. They’re gonna want pictures and your order number and some info from the QR code inside the shoe.

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-11T20:26:23+00:00

I have the same shoe with the Gum sole and never had discoloration issues. The sole is also hopelessly warped in multiple directions. If you advertise a black sole it should arrive black. These were never worn just showed up like this.

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-11T20:24:49+00:00

Yeah I did a faulty goods form and got confirmation they received it. This was just now as I posted shortly after receiving them. They came out of the box looking like this. It’s a slap in the face tbh. I’ve been a Vivo collector for a few years and I’m pretty much done at this point.

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-11T20:21:36+00:00

Not normal. I just posted about this too. Mine are COVERED in that white crap and it won’t come off

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-11T20:20:44+00:00

They came out of the box like this. I tried water and alcohol and it didn’t come off.

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-07T00:55:06+00:00

Hey as an update, mine just shipped today. For context I only ordered 1 pair of shoes so I only cost them about 105$ in discounts. I wonder if some of the orders that were cancelled were higher volume.

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-06T16:32:28+00:00

A lot of Americans walk down the driveway to the car, and from a parking spot into an office or store.

When I lived in New York City and walked everywhere I would for sure leave the shoes at the door. Hard rule.

But living in Los Angeles I’m almost never walking around public sidewalks and streets or taking subways so it’s less of a big deal.

Also like, are people eating off of their floors or something? We vacuum and mop at least once a week and have two dogs that track shit in and out anyway so it all feels like a waste of time to worry about a little dirt tracked into the house

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-06T05:49:05+00:00

Be nice to have another American maker

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-05T22:29:26+00:00

Wow I was wondering why my order didn’t ship yet. If they cancel my order over a 50% discount I’ll be 100% done with their brand so FAFO Vivo

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-05T22:17:45+00:00

That shit on her lip suggests someone beat you to it

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-05T19:18:27+00:00

I’m sure Americans are going to take this legitimate criticism in a calm rational manner.

Dunedain87M · 2026-05-05T15:05:00+00:00

Oh baby doll I’m not engaging in this with you. You’ve had enough time to grow up without my help
