These ended up being the cheapest shoes I’ve ever bought in my life. This actually happened back in July, about a month after purchasing them for over $100. Been a lifelong fan and still am, but it sucked knowing they really were just trying to cash in on Pride month. Only reason I made this post is because their support finally responded after months of waiting to hear back, just to tell me they won’t let me exchange them. Frustrating but oh well. Corporations gonna corporate.
Same exact thing happened to my Pride’s. I feel 100% that the quality in these isn’t the same as the quality of a regular pair. To me, it feels like they rushed these out and didn’t quality check them first. I could be wrong and I HOPE I am, but after seeing lots of people burning through their Pride’s in just a few months or less, I really feel like Vans dropped the ball with their quality when they made these.
