Hey guys. I'm kinda in a predicament... I got some custom 993s in March 2013. The other day i was putting them on, and the tongue completely fell off. Called NB and they said they couldn't go anything because they only accept returns on things 30 days or less. The lady's excuse was that it fell off due to "wear and tear".

Do y'all think I should call again? These were my everyday shoes.

well if you were wearing them everyday they were bound to get beat up weren't they??

Why don't you just get someone to sew the tongue back on.

 

[abracadabra]

they look beat for sure

Wearing everyday is a bit of a hyperbole. But, it looks like sewing it on is the only choice. I find it a bit interesting that NB doesn't have like a defective warranty returns like Nike.

 

[abracadabra]

They only give you a 90 day warranty.

Shoes don't get a lifetime warranty LOL

Some shoes do carry a lifetime warranty (north face, ll bean, etc...)

Lol. If every shoe company sent you a free pair of shoes after a year and a half of use had caused something to fall off then they'd all be bankrupt.

quick question for anyone that owns the "997.5" Nonnative Dune, you guys went .5 down for those as well right? 

 

[lukethewhale]

Recent pick ups. All DS except Regattas. All in the last month or so. Only paid retail for the CNCPTS and 997gy. Slowly building a decent collection

hair dryer and a toothpick. heat up the glue to loosen it, then gently pry at the edges with the toothpick

@kicksiscrack   @DUNQRICO   owned them, I believe half a size down was the recommendation, I've searched for a pair so I asked plenty times
