Do these shoes look "never worn" to you?

No, these have been worn and the soles painted to try to hide the fact. new shoes do not have indentations in sole or heel.

The vendor is telling lies.

guys, if you go to the local nordstrom rack, you'll see similar sole paint. Its done on pairs that were worn and returned. Typically the soles are fine and the shoes have barely been worn.

depending on the price, I might just let this slide.


Interesting. I'd never buy a pair like that. It'll look ridiculous once the paint starts to wear-off in the toe and ball area, but is unscathed in the arch area that doesn't make contact with the ground.

just file a dispute with ebay/paypal, and you'll end up getting the shoes for free. Nothing pisses me off more than abuse of the the "new without box" description.


You know, I've used Ebay since 2001, but never filed a dispute before this one.

Going by Ebay's pages, it seems the only option would be for Ebay to force the seller to give a refund, then eat it on shipping & send them back. Unless I'm missing something?

If you mean that the seller "eats it on shipping" then correct. Have the seller either send you extra money to cover return shipping or send you a mailing label before you return the shoes.
