In response to anonymous EMPLOYEE of FOOTSMART I have this to say:

a) A pair of shoes, especially house shoes shouldn't wear out in 90 days unless you wore them to the participate in the Boston Marathon, which I'm sure this consumer did not do.

b) Any reputable company (which FOOTSMART has proven repeatedly, it is not) should stand behind their merchandise and offer to replace or exchange an item such as this, it's just GOOD business. There used to be a business practice that was adhered to in America, it was commonly referred to as 'having a reputation to uphold' which Footsmart has tossed in the trashcan along with  integrity and honesty.

c) I notice you didn't address the recurring shipping scam that's been mentioned in how many of these complaints. You can't because it's crystal clear the company has a major scam going in that regard. I've never had ANY company give me a return label and then deduct the shipping cost AGAIN from the item, this is just an unbelievable practice.

d) I'm assuming you typed your rebuttal while you were at work on the company computer obviously since you're not properly assisting customers, (nor were you trained to do so), you have plenty of time to play masked maurader online.

I don't know how anyone working for this company can sleep at night knowing they're duping people out of hard earned cash and top it off with, most of these people are in pain and desperate to find relief from that pain, many of them elderly.

Shame on FOOTSMART and shame on you, try to find a real job with a reputable company before it's too late for you. If they're treating their customers like this, what do you think they doing to their employees? Wake up...

I have read both reports and I am amaze.Footsmart offers 60 day return policy on unworn item. Why do you feel that it is ok to wear a item for 90days and return it for refund? I can't believe you feel that you should receive a refund after you admit to wearing the shoes for about 90 days. I don't know of any shoe store that would accept shoes back after they u wore them that long. I think customers should read all information before placing an order with any company. I also think if you wear any item for 90 days it should be yours. As far as I'm concern the company have no way of knowing if its the wear and tear you put on the slipper or something else. By the way footsmart is open 24/7/.
