Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the quality of 'Nike 230' badminton shoes which I purchased from your website nike.com on 2nd August 2024. My order number is 19923 as per the invoice. I am disappointed to discover that the shoes are not as expected to be. The problem with the product was that they were slippery on the marble floor,
however
,
while
perusing the product specification on the website, it was mentioned that the sole is designed in a way that it would be compatible to be used on any floor.
Due to
these reasons, I almost twisted my ankle
while
I was playing badminton with these shoes on.
Moreover
,
this
had caused me distress as ever since that incident I have been unable to play without the fear of slipping and getting myself injured. I would appreciate it if you could replace the item if it's a manufacturing flaw.
Otherwise
, as a resolution to
this
problem, I would request you to provide me with a refund. Thank you for taking
this
matter into consideration. Yours faithfully, Kinnari Bodade
