I ordered a pair of Boys Adidas X Ghosted 3 laceless turf boots for my 8 year old son to replace his well worn and well loved Adidas Nemeziz where the sole had finally come away from the shoe and I needed laceless so he would be able to change his shoes himself and I was unable to find his size again anywhere on the internet for the Nemeziz (13.5). While we waited for delivery he'd told all his U8 football teammates about his new boots he was getting for the next match. Unfortunately when they came I was unable to spread the elasticated top enough to get his foot in despite using considerable force. It was obvious he was never going to get them on despite them being the same length as his previous boots. A very gutted boy (I told my team mates etc) but they had to be returned. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN THEY WERE THEN RETURNED BACK TO ME WITH A LETTER STATING THEY WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED BACK AS THE SOLES WERE DIRTY AND SHOWING SIGNS OF WEAR!!! I have obviously not got their forensic eye but if these boots were tried on and even touched the floor it was not by my son. I could not physically get them on his foot, I didn't even try the other boot
