Dear Converse Customer Care, I am writing as a loyal Converse customer who has proudly owned several pairs of All Stars over the years. Unfortunately, I recently experienced a serious quality issue with my Chuck 70 sneakers that I feel deserves your attention. After just one year of ownership, the glue on the shoe dissolved, and the sole wore down abnormally. This deterioration occurred even though the pair had never been washed, soaked, or exposed to rain. I also do not wear this particular pair often, which makes the extent of the damage even more concerning. While the QA feedback suggested negligence, I can confidently state that this is not the case. I am fami**** with how Converse shoes normally wear, and this level of deterioration is unusual and disappointing. I initially reached out to Converse before discarding the shoes because I believe this matter should be reviewed from a quality assurance perspective. As a loyal fan of the brand, I expect better durability and accountability. I kindly request that Converse investigate this issue further and provide feedback on how such defects will be addressed in future production. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I received the worst service from your the Sandton Converse Store. Regional manager, Store manager , shop assistants more than 7 calls , 2 stores , driving from Centurion to Sandton Converse and then Fourways Converse I still don’t have a resolution to matter that I needed urgent assistance with. The carelessness, disregard and rudeness presented by the Manager at the converse Store in Sandton is shocking and unacceptable . I had to deal with a rude Manager who didn’t care to do her job, employees who provided miss leading information and broken systems that cannot assist customers all because I needed assistance with exchanging a shoe I had purchased. I made numerous calls to make an Enquiry as to which store I could go to that had the correct size for the shoe I had purchased. After confirming with the regional manager, the shop Assistant at Mall of Africa advised me to go to Sandton Converse as they had the required size. I drove from Centurion to Sandton. On arriving at the Sandton store, I was met by a rude, non caring Manager that refused to hear why I had come to the store. She didn’t bother to contact Mall of Africa or any other store to find a solution. While I was making numerous calls on my phone to your various branches, she stood behind the counter and continued to have a relaxed conversation with one of the other shop assistance. She (Sandton Manager) was then advised by Tonny (From mall of Africa) that the regional manager said I should come to the Sandton store, and that they would help me. Her reply to Tonny was “ She/ he ( Regional manager) doesn’t know the systems and how it works and you guys are brave advising a customer to come to this store”. She then went on to continue with her conversation with her friend while myself and mostly Tonny ( Mall of Africa) was calling around trying to find a way to resolve the situation. Tonny eventually advised me to go to Mall of Africa as they could assist and have the size, this eventually changed as I found another situation at Rookie fourways mall where I left the shoe with no refund. The manager at Sandton Branch snarkily, without a care in the world said “ Good luck” as I walked out of the store. Manager at four ways mall took it on herself to assist. Tonny @ mall of africa went over and above making calls to try and assist. The shop assistant confirmed with the regional manager on how best to help the customer. Ashley was unavailable to provide any sort of assistance. Date: 6 Feb 2026

Converse Menlyn ****med me. Apparently someone signed out my order without my concern. They claim the person provided identification and its not even my signature that is presented. I only came to the store today on the 06/01/2026. I used the buy now pay later option to purchase the goods and set to collect it at Menlyn store. Please find out whats going on the staff is very disingenuous. Alex is very ****y. There is footage to show who picked up the order

I have received the worst service from converse. I ordered on the 26th of November and I still have not received my order. I have sent emails but I have not gotten a response. There is no communication whatsoever with regards to the order. It has been over a month since I have made the order. I am highly disappointed with their service
