broken zipper

topic posted Tue, March 27, 2007 - 3:32 PM by  Daria
One of my beloved Oakley's has a broken zipper! Boo!! This is after less than a year (about 9 months) of wear, although I did kinda wear it on a daily basis and put it through some rough dancing times, but I've never had this problem on any of my boots (everything else fell apart tho), so waah!!

Will be taking it to a shoe repair shop tomorrow as Oakley definitely won't fix it.

    I would still shoot them off an email with a photo. You never know, they might just send a gift certificate.

      Their policy specifically excludes "excessive wear", which is frustrating but understandable. Dropped them off at a repair shop, just picked them up today and it's good as new. Cost $30, which isn't too bad.

      I have a feeling that the zipper broke because I kept on getting fishnets stuck in them. And basically I just tried to yank them into submission, and I ended up getting a big f-u in return. Oh well. I will be treating them a lot more gently.
