I experienced it once when you don't wear your shoes after a long time the soles come off, this happened to me during my hiking trip back in 2008. I might not have worn the shoe for a year then wore it back and all of the sudden it gave way like yours.

Proly old stock tht was kept in storage for far too long. U can check the shoe's manufacturing date on the label (usually on the shoe's tongue), then U know la. I've had this problem with NB before, with the outsole. The outsole came off after 2 runs, they agreed to replace, then the replacement shoes also had the same problem even before it hit the road. Then I made some noise on their FB page, they agreed to replace it with a different model of the same price. I went to their store in KLCC, decided on 890v$ Baddeley edition & now I'm on my 2nd pair biggrin.gif At least something good came out of my ordeal.

Bought a pair of Sketchers Shapeups ...worn sparingly only over 5 occasions.  Shocked to find the soles crumbling and disintegrating!! Have never experienced this in my life with my other shoes! Contacted Sketchers and they said this is normal wear and tear. Normal?? The tracks of the soles are almost pristine , which proves no hard wearing . Paid a good RM399 for the shoes and they said that this is normal!!   I am seriously doubting the quality of the shoes from Sketchers as this does not happen to other brands that I own.
Anyone else experienced this before???

The important question here is, when was it purchased? Immaterial the number of usage. And When was it last used?

Any rubber based shoe, that had not been used or ventilated for couple of months, it will crumble and disintegrate due to dryness and heat.

Well, if you have other shoes bought around the same time and with similar usage levels, it is telling when only one brand of shoes disintegrates, but not the the others.

YA, I did that. All they are could do is to give me a rm30 voucher, expecting me to buy more of their crap shoes. Can you beat that?
