Goat's 'quality assurance' team 'authenticated' a pair of Nike Invincible ZoomX that were ultimately knockoffs. Though superficially identical, the coloration throughout the rubber outsole started flaking, cracking, and peeling off within 30 minutes of my first leisurely stroll to break them in. When I submitted pictures of these shoes, they told me that it was due to 'normal wear and tear' or 'a cosmetic defect from Nike', and I needed to take it up with them. After speaking to Nike, they assured me the shoes were forgeries and they could not assist me further.
I'm extremely disappointed and now out $250 because of these avaricious scheisters. Buyer beware, because they just recently paid a $2,000,000 fine to the FTC for failing to protect customers who had been defrauded in such instances.
Unless they respond with a sincere apology, refund, and/or new shoes I will never, and I mean never, use this wretched retailer again.
This whole experience is sickening. Vermin of this nature, who care only about protecting themselves and their employer's profit margins, are a rarefied form of cancer or pestilence in the shoe-collecting marketplace. In fact, their negligence and apathy makes them complicit in such criminal enterprises, and we, as consumers, must band together and work to hold them accountable.
