I purchased sneakers from Asics around 5 months ago and only wore them occasionally. The material of the shoe had started to break on top of the shoe. I filed a warranty with a receipt and all the required documents. The warranty was declined as they advised that it was normal wear and tear. I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the sneakers which were quite expensive, but also with the customer service. After requesting the email of the CEO of the company to address the issue, I did not receive any response from Asics.Initial Complaint

I purchased asics shoes for my son. With two months of wears the shoes were damaged. My son owns 4 pairs of shoes and wears them all so they were not heavily worn. We have owned asics for years without issues. Asics is claiming the shoes are normal wear and tear when they are clearly a manufacturing defect. I want my money back.Initial Complaint

To whom it may concern, I have a few store credits that I received from returned gifts back in 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and shut downs or restrictions, I have not tried to use them till now. A few months ago I made a visit to the Asics store at Vaughan Mills to make use of the store credits. When I attempted to purchase some items with the store credits I was told by the cashier that I could not use them because their POS system was recently upgraded and that I would have to reach out to Asics Canada to have the credits transferred to the new system. I had no issue with that. The workers gave me a business card with an email so that I could reach out them. I sent an email to Asics Canada May 22 with the request to have my credits transferred. On May 25 customer service acknowledged my email and said my email will be forwarded to the correct department and someone would reach out to me. I didn't hear from anyone so I followed up on June 4 and finally received a response from customer service on June 14. The email said "We cannot assist you if your orders had been made from a store. We do not have a system to view. We can only assist you with orders that had been made online. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may caused." I phoned the store at Vaughan Mills to speak with a manager and explained what the head office said. The manager there said they would speak to their manager and escalate so that I could get the credits transferred from their end. I didn't hear back for a few weeks so I phoned the store again. The manager said they would follow up again and copy me on the email (which I did not receive). At this point I feel like there is no action being taken from either head office or the store itself. A customer should not have to forfeit their store credits because of an upgraded POS system. I would appreciate a resolution to this from either head office or the store. Thanks.

Hello, I purchased an Asics Gel Nimbus 24D from Sports Experts on April 4, 2022 with a cost of $209.99 before taxes. After a few weeks I've noticed that one shoe has a manufacturing defect which creates high discomfort. I emailed warranty customer service for a few weeks and I always got the same answer, the shoe has no manufacturing defect, I was denied a replacement. I offered to mail the shoes on my expense to prove to them that the shoe has a manufacturing defect that can't be shown in a picture and I got again a NO response. Now I have a brand new EXPENSIVE Asics pair of shoes that rest in my closet and can't be used.Initial Complaint

From: ***** ***** Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2022 9:38 AM To: ACA WarrantyCc: ************************** Subject: RE: [ ref:_00D1Uy7bj._5001Ux01LR:ref ] ******* *: Very disappointed with the customer service of ASICS Canada. I find it frustrating that the only lines of communication are via email. The United states has a toll free line, but Canada only provides on-line support. Furthermore, this request is really for an exchange for a wider shoe. (Again, one of the only makes of shoes that use to fit me properly). These shoes are painfully tight. I have purchased your shoes for many years and most recently, I now have 2 brand new pairs that I cannot wear. (Approximately $400) Both pairs were ordered on-line and do not fit properly. I am certain that the manufacturing has changed and that the shoes are not the same size as they were before? With Covid 19, it has been difficult for people who are Immune Compromised to go out and get fitted at a store. Furthermore, not all box stores carry wide shoes. You should really take this into consideration with your on-line customers. Regards, ***** **** Ottawa, Canada From: ********************** <**********************> On Behalf Of ACA Warranty Sent: Friday, May 20, 2022 1:51 PM To: ***** ***** <*****[email protected]> Subject: RE: [ ref:_00D1Uy7bj._5001Ux01LR:ref ] Good Afternoon *****, I hope this email finds you well. ASICS has reviewed your application for a warranty and determined that your shoes do not meet the criteria for a warranty, as the product has been determined not to have a manufacturing defect. This warranty does not cover any defects due to improper fit, normal wear and tear, damage due to improper use, misuse, improper transportation or storage, failure to follow product instructions, modification or alteration to the product, unauthorized repair, or negligence. ASICS has determined this product is not defective and the damage to the shoe is not a result of, Initial Complaint

I purchased a pair of the Asics Kayano 28s (womens), on March 3, 2022. I've been buying kayanos every year (or more) for well over 15 years and I usually love them. However, I noticed right away when I put this pair on, that the right sole felt off, like the sole was deformed and rolling my ankle outwards. I thought it may just be the insole so I've tried moving that around and have worn them only a few times because I'm noticing that they are making my right knee hurt. This is certainly a manufacturing defect, and I submitted a warranty claim on May 11th with all of the information they required, along with a video of how the shoe is misshapen, because it's hard to see it in a photo. I heard back from them on May 13th stating that it isn't a manufacturing defect and they won't do anything about it. I'd like to understand what they think it is if not a manufacturing defect?! I also bought this identical pair of shoes last September (2021) and have been wearing them for 7 months - they are totally fine. So the new pair is definitely off, and Asics won't take responsibility at all. Unfortunately for them, they are going to lose a customer of several decades... I can't believe their response to this.Initial Complaint

On January 18th I made an online order on Asics canada for $822.64. I ended up returning the other through mail. The order number is ************* and the return tracking number is #****************. Now, I've returned my order well over 2 weeks ago and still haven't gotten my refund. When I tried to call them, they didn't have a number and only worked via email! When I emailed them, they simply replied with a generic email stating there are delays due to Covid-19 and they are waiting an additional 14 days which is ridiculous! This is not correct business, according to their website: (*********************************************************) "Once received, please allow up to two business days for your return to be processed and 3-5 business days for the refund to reflect on your account." They also stopped answering my emails! They can't just change policies like that when they advertise something completely different. They've had my return for weeks now. I just want my refund now
