I have bought 4 pairs of Pikolinos. They made one casual pair which I liked a lot. Two years later I bought their 'updated' model of the same shoe, as well as 2 other models. Despite not much wear at all, within 2 years these were leaking badly. Even walking on damp pavements caused my socks to be soaking straight away. I discovered that there were slits in the soles. I then discovered on taking them to two cobblers that this latest model has been designed in such a way that they cannot be re-soled. I don't mind that in response to photos etc their eventual reply was 'out of warranty'. Fair enough (although I think they should be more serviceable than that). However why design shoes in this day and age when we are trying our best to get away from disposability that cannot be re-soled? Painstaking follow-up from me failed to elicit a satisfactory response. Their eventual reply was "Good afternoon Keith! Thank you very much for contacting us. There are certain models that, due to the type of shape or various factors, make it impossible to fit a new sole.If you have any further questions, we will be happy to help you. We wish you a great day! "As I say I don't think this is very good policy.....
