Developed a fault in the sole of the shoe with a vertical slit appearing within 6 months of casually wearing them - brought the shoes back to the store where they subsequently damaged them further to beyond the point of use. Was offered a 50% discount on subsequent shoes bought - Did not avail of this discount as I had no intent of buying faulty shoes again or buying any items in that shop again. On reflection should have cited the EU consumer law relating to guarantees and returns which guarantees items for up to 2 years provided it's a fault from fair use and gotten a free pair
