I bought a pair of Adidas Ultraboost from Foot Locker online and got 25% off the $250 price tag. The shoes seemed to fit well and snuggly until doing some power routines on turf and my heels would slip out of the shoe. I tried thicker socks and tightening the laces as tight as they would go but to no avail - still heel slip.
I called Foot Locker customer support and the agent said no problem: go to a store and they will find you another pair that works as an exchange or provide a refund.
Off i went to the store a couple of days later. I spoke with Pacifique, who represented himself as a manager. I provided the shoes, the bill of sale and relayed what customer support said. Pacifique was insistent on the box that the shoes came in. The box went for recycling within a week or two of receiving the shoes because I had purchased two other Ultraboost shoes on previous occasions without any issues. I really did not expect that I would be returning the shoes because of past experiences with the shoes. Pacifique said it was policy to return the shoes with the box; I had no box. In spite of virtually new shoes, a bill of sale and a delivery notification, Pacifique must have repeated his position about 5 times, would not budge on the position and was quite rude.
I suggested he speak with customer service to get this resolved. I don't know who he called but came back and said they would do an exchange.
We found a pair online that was suitable and I relayed to Pacifique that customer service said that the 25% discount could be applied. He said it was not possible; not sure why as there is a discount code on the online site. I cancelled the exchange and had them put through the refund.
I asked to speak with a manager other than Pacifique. The staff did not want to volunteer a name saying that even the first name of a manager was "private". So with the "assistant manager" and the cashier chirping at me, I left the store after 35 minutes, expecting this to be a painless, 10 minute process.
One of the worst customer experiences I have encountered; I can't see myself shopping at Foot Locker ever again, even if the price is good.
