I was the previous buyer for these shoes. The problem with these shoes is very obvious. The person who wore them never tied or untied them when taking them off or putting them on. You can tell this by how the heel of both shoes are completely broken down and really have no shape any more. It's as if the material in the heel has rolled down so many times that it has completely collapsed. I don't see how it could help hold anybody's heel in these shoes. The wearer of these shoes has no body to blame except themselves. Buyer beware.
For such broken down shoes with flattened material, they sure can hold on to my feet while I'm trying to force them out despite your claims:

There's nothing I can do about a situation I don't experience.
If there's any blame right now, it's you trying to muck up my thread and good name with your logic. You claim that the shoes slip off when you slide while you had them, yet I'm doing stupid kung-fu without shoe laces and they don't even leave my feet; it's obvious to anyone what's the problem: our feet our physically different. As a result, there's going to be certain tolerances despite us using the same shoe size (if true). It's one of the reason's why the bst in any place exists in the first place; but just because it doesn't fit one person doesn't mean it will fit everyone else.
Buyer Beware? Please. First of all, if your dealing with any bst on the internet, you should automatically assume such a scenario. Second, if I truly wanted to screw my buyers, I wouldn't give anyone a heads up before YOU came back to my thread and did so. There's a reason I put that huge paragraph in the first post; not only due to the problem but because I wanted to make sure people would feel confident with the purchase. I want them to ask questions because there's only so much I can do with a shoe I don't have problems with as both my testimonials and video indicate (I wouldn't sell my shoes if I was going to return to bowling anytime soon).
Again, considering I've treated you with respect by not only sending you a vid of the shoes going into the mail, but also accepting a refund as soon as you requested it, I would appreciate it if you don't butt in on my thread and sway my buyers, as I am more than capable of showing them what they need to know. You don't need to tell others if the wear is bad when a picture is worth a thousand words.
