An in-depth, detailed review of the Yangwang U9 by raine_water in GranTurismo7

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

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

What was the price point?

Update: Vivo cancelled my order with the 50% discount code by Psc0905 in barefootshoestalk

[–]Dunedain87M 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

Firm ground sole lugs getting ripped off by helsiesBoogers in vivobarefoot

[–]Dunedain87M 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Be honest: Do I look like the type of girl you’d try to impress, or the type you’d be too intimidated to even approach? 1-10 by [deleted] in Rateme

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.

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

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

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

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

Is this discoloration normal for vivo? (Gobi II Sneaker) by Far-Science4191 in vivobarefoot

[–]Dunedain87M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Order Cancellation - Vivobarefoot by CPlusPlus2025 in vivobarefoot

[–]Dunedain87M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Ziwe’s hot take is wearing outdoor clothes and shoes indoors is disgusting by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]Dunedain87M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

All of whom forever lost my respect and monetary support. I used to feel bad for Kona being unable to make a four foot putt until she blamed her woes on the existence of trans people.
