I used to really like Shoe Carnival and have bought shoes for my kids there several times. I purchased a pair of Nike tennis shoes for my 11 year old daughter at the end of February. I paid over $50 for them which I think is expensive for a pair of kids shoes. After 3 months, there were holes where the seams came unsewed and several holes where the netting pulled away from the stiching. I took them back with the receipt asking for an exchange. They were very unwilling to accept that this was not typical even when we spoke to the Manager. The most they offered was 20% off. I purchased several pairs of tennis shoes from Kmart for $19.99 and they are perfect. I will never purchase another pair of shoes from Shoe Carnival because they obviously do not stand behind their product. I have a pair of tennis shoes that are are four years old and still perfect. read more
