When was the last time a shoe store refused to refund and accept a return on a factory defect within just a few days from purchase? Actually, Encore doesn't accept any return, for ANY reason. It is deep within their website. Somehow Encore has silently changed from the common practice of being a regular store, a middle man responsible for the whole relationship between customer and brand, to being a fraud facing store built on brands that DO NOT reply to customer emails and have no intention of owning their quality.
Case in point: I bought Hi Tec work boots, 3 days later the metal lace hoop breaks. Took back with receipt, was informed they couldn't be re-sold so no return, also advised not to lace up boots because something like this could happen?Advised to work with the manufacturer. THE MANUFACTURER IS IN AFRICA and the UK, AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO EMAILS. We tried, and tried again. So, not one more time ever will Encore get my own or my kids business, their pretty young so us alone is 40 + pairs of shoes until they are all through school. To be clear, I'll harp on this for years to come to anyone who could appreciate the story..aka..anyone with $$ that wears shoes. FAFO read more
