Another Spanish Shoe brand - Yanko

[cshky]

What I am looking at? Is the problem a missed stitch or what?

a couple of missed stitches, one of them is almost an inch long...

 

[Mirrorkisser]

Where did you order?

skolyx, they say it wont affect the sturdiness of the shoe but just an aesthetic issue
still those missed stitches is quite an irritating thing to see...lol

 

[Mirrorkisser]

Well they are probably right. Unless you got them on a discount, I would ask for a partial refund though, as you probably paid full price for a product that is aesthetically and functionally 100%.

Just requested an exchange, the stitch is too obvious and I couldn't stand it(noticible from few feets away). Don't know if I need I need to pay for the return postage tough, if so it would cost me another $50...

 

[Mirrorkisser]

Well it's their fault, that the product is defective. They should pay for the return shipping not you. I guess they have an interest to be known to treat customers friendly and fair.

I think smaller imperfections, which aren't affecting the durability, are to be expected at such a low price point. If it's perfection you're seeking, prepare to pay more.

yes they are very kind and promised I don't need to pay extra for the return. Hope it goes well

Well unless you try to troll, Eutroll, this is not a cemented 5€ product made in China, but an almost 300€ shoe. Even with trainers/sneakers for 50€ you expect proper sewing. Of course you can not expect the same grade in the materials as with a shoe that costs double. But you can and should expect proper construction with the materials that fit the product price calculation.

I am ok if the problem isn't very obvious but as I said it is visible from a few feet away and there's no way to hide it until I resole the shoe. I don't expect c&j level of quality at this price point but I think a consumer deserves a proper product whatever the amount he/she pays.
Anyway there is no point to argue and Skolyx has handled it well and promptly, the rest of the shoes is very well made and I believe this is just a rare case.

After a long search across different makers' models, I am about to pull the trigger on these balmoral boots. I would just like to nail down a couple of things...

Unfortunately, these boots were a bust and I have to return them. This blows because the boots were beautiful, great color & design, no noticeable imperfections... It is just this 915 last and my feet that cannot agree. Size 7.5: too loose in the heel cup and across the instep combined with perfect width - so sizing down to a 7 would be too narrow for my feet. **** a duck.

For the record, ordering from Skolyx was seamless, with the boot arriving in just a couple of days. I highly recommend them. I will definitely order again when I can nail down the right Yanko last for me.

Speaking of which, are there any brick & mortar shops in Paris currently selling Yanko?

What a bummer! How was the opening of the boot, noticeably larger than other makers?

The opening was a good fit for me at 7.5. Size 7 might have been a bit confining. I have somewhat developed calves.

Anyone knows how Carmina Rain compares to Yanko 915?
Many thanks!
