I do not walk wrong
I do actually but these have worn down on the backs of the heels, not the sides which is where my usual heels wear down. They're fuckin heeled sandals, I expected them to be a bit more resilient then this

If you bin them that's £2.50 a wear.
If you reheel them at £7 and wear them another 8* times that's £1.68 per wear. *more if the heel is better quality.
If you reheel them again at £7 and wear them another 8 times that's £1.41 per wear.
But you will probably get more than 8 wears out of each time.

It's definitely worth getting them re-heeled. The re-heel will probably be better quality and will wear better than the original heels (not difficult in some cases).

Go for it. I think shops will refund a lot more than people think they will. Next Directory refunded me the cost of Roberto Cavalli sunglasses because the arm snapped off after a year!! I didn't expect that, just thought they might send them for repair.
Magic Sam said it happened because I have a stupidly big head.

One small step for me
For £20 I'd be a bit embarrassed to take them back. I took a pair back - and got refunded - which had split down one side after just a month of light wear, but then they cost £65.

I think the time and patience you put into yours really shows though in accuracy and increased information, so well done.
That was my first graph ever, I think, so I'm not going to be too hard on myself.

Top pieces (the thingies on the end of the heel) are meant to be replaceable, so I don't think you'll get money back if the shoes were only £20 in the first place. If you paid £20 it doesn't leave alot of money spare for replaceable components. Get them repaired, you'll get better quality which won't wear down so fast.

They're not even leather
Still probably worth it for £7...
yeh there probably is Kanda,
and I have no shame for those that said they'd be too embarassed, why are you embarassed about returning their faulty products?

This.
They are £20 shoes the heel tip is £1.50* of that and you got £1.50's wear out of them.
*guess.

Well it's never anything to do with the price of the product when you're talking about faulty goods, the law is about it being 'fit for purpose'.

No, not faulty, just soft plastic - I'm surprised they didn't do what some stores do which is to put a disclaimer in the box pointing out that top pieces are meant to wear down.

The shoes will be £4 ex-factory, the top pieces will be about 10p at the very most.

You shoulda bought better quality shoes which have spares with them! Irregular Choice have spares but they were £50 in the sale
I generally only buy metal heels, the exception being the IC ones which are plastic but not for everyday wear.

It's satisfactory quality, specifically taking price into consideration.
