Trying to call helpline but No response. I have purchased a product for 1599/- (Size 6). I need to exchange the same for Size 7. The store at Katihar is not supportive & saying the size is not available. Please return the money or exchange or issue Credit note for the amount.

My shoes defect less than 24 hours of using it... So dissappointed.. The most annoyingly, I want use it for raya celebration but wore it for a few hours only so terrible.. Now how?.. I bought a new brand of bata in order to support bata but... Emm...
Please do something.. Don juz make a doll wihout a head.

I was waiting for the bill to be paid for5 minutes no body attended, suddenly one employee came with shoes and kept in front of the bill counter after one minute the lady attended him instead of attending me she billed other person i was waiting patiently, when I asked her about the situation no response and ignored me

We have been using Bata products for the past 15 years and we never found any problem. Last night [protected], Monday) at about 8.55 pm myself along with my father had gone to Bata Showroom in Chikkadpally, near Chandana Bros, Hyderabad to purchase a pair of shoes. The staff there were too irresponsible and they did allow us to go inside and the reason given by them was that the show room closes at 8.30pm sharp. There are more than 15 customers in the showroom at that time and we requested the staff that we will complete our purchase in 5 min as we had already selected the model. The staff told us to do what we can do and used very harsh words. This is not proper on your part to employ such type of people. I asked for the in charge but one person told his name was MUKUND RAO and he was the in charge there and asked me to do what i can.

Dear Sir,

I have purchase two pair of shoes 'Power' shoes from BATA showroom J.L.Neheru Road counter (Below Grand Hotel, Kolkata) on 13.05.2009 one for me and another for my wife. The sole of my shoe has been broken and the pasting of the shoe has also been broken. Unfortunately I have mispalced the bill. I went to showroom and meet manager, but he refused to take any complaint in this regard and also refused to talk without any bill, while I remind him the date of purchaes and the bill amount and the time of purchase.

In this connection, I would request you to forwrad my complaint to the Director of the company and give me a proper solution.

Thanking you,

I have purchased a pair of shoes from BATA, N.M. ROAD Chennai on 4-4-2007. The shoes got totally broken and the gum that they have used to stick the top to the sole got completely removed, just with in two months...and I approached the show room manager with the same.The show room manager calculated the no of days after the purchase and rounded it to 60 days...

Now comes the real story... He told me to pay 300 rupees to change the sole of the shoe that got damaged...and he even gave me the address where i can complain about the BATA shoes... that of the haryana... wow what a support...

Sir,

I bought a Bata Shoe with sl no 881-6822 7 two weeks back at an Bata Showroom, Malleshwaram, Bangalore. I find the stink of the leather is too much, but still i continued to use the same thinking that this would reduce after few days usage. But i find that the stink of the leather inside has been increasing & i have been changing my socks every day.
This does not happen in my shoes with other brands, hence kindly give me the solution for the same. I have paid the full amount for this shoes trusting the BATA brand name, But i am disappointed & have doubt on the quality.
Another issue is that my leg size is 8 for all other brands but found size 7 of bata in this model is still loose.

Thanks & expect early response on this..

A copy of email to Bata India Ltd:

I the undersigned have purchased from your mentioned Store a Hush Puppies Shoe on 18-11-2007.Copy of Bill attached for your ref. (Bill No.17518 dated 18-11-2006)

I had visited your Shop in 25th February 2007 (Sunday) to show the Shoe with a Complaint pertaining to Soles of the both the Shoes have cracked and wanted immediate replacement / repair as per your Company procedure for the same

I was surprised i was told to come on Wednesday [protected]) since Audit was going on. The Concerned person Mr.Roy was mis-behaving with me Ordering me that once it was told to come on Wednesday we should come on that date .It was pointed to me that some favor is being done on the me for replacement / repair as per procedure.

I was told that i could do whatever I can , for the complaint , go to the police or whatever can be done by me but he would not budge over immediate redressal to my Complaint.

Sir, my query is if New Sales is possible in the Stores during Audit, why complaint redressal is not possible during Audits..Also it can seen that the Present New Customer’s are assured of immediate guarantee upon fresh Sales,which is misleading the Customer as if the same Customer returning the next day after making complete payment will have to wait till 3-4 days as some Audit is going on.

As written above want to register Strong Protest Complaint , which clearly shows that the Customer is being taken for granted after completion of the Sale. We request you to look into the matter and provide us immediate replacement (free of Cost ) as early as possible.

I am also taking this matter to the Consumer forum as the above case looks to be a Prima-Facie case of cheating and harassment to the Customer who has to keep following up and visit again and again to your premise in spite of paying Rs.1,911/- (after Share-holders discount) as per the Bill attached.

Awaiting your positive and early redressal of the above complaint. My complete contact details as below.

Suggest all others do not buy buy Bata products!

I have purchased one pair of chappals for my father from Bata, it was packed for some time, as I was out of station, today I took out to give it to my father from the pack, I saw that it’s sole was crack and damaged I took it to my near by Bata shop - ( chowk Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh), they advised me to take it to the shop from where it is been purchased, as I do not remember from where I have purchased the same.
I request the company to please exchange the same as according to me Bata is a trustworthy company who cares for its customers

Hello Bata Care, I want to inform you that i have purchased a pair of Bata shoes (Hush Puppies) from amazon during online shopping on 18th of Oct. They are hardly been used for a week because of holiday season and the sole is broken. It cost me around Rs 3000.00, You provide the warranty against the quality of the product for year. Please let me know what can i do, and get my shoe replaced. I am living in Delhi and my contact number [protected] Regards, Gaurav

This is Preeti and I bought a pair of shoes from Bata shoes(men)
store, 11-B, Rajpur Road, Dehradun, UK on 3-6 -2014.The article number is
[protected](charger) for a price of 1399, but the shoes leather developed
a crack only after wearing it for a few hours .

We went to the same store to return it back but the store
manager(Mr.Ashwini Gupta)told us that we can exchange it in any store
throughout India.I am based in Bangalore so I want to exchange it in
Bangalore in Bata shoe store Salarpuria, annex num-35/10, lLaskar Hosur
road Adugudi, bangalore 30.I was asked by the store manager in
Bangalore to get in touch with the customer care so I am writing this
mail to you.

Kindly d the needful.

The consistency of BATA's product is a mirage.I myself got the worst experience of purchasing power shoes from Bata's authorized dealer from our town( Nagercoil) which lasted for only 3 months after nominal usage.There is no use in complaining. I shifted to other brand.

Bata has always been synonymous with quality. Remember growing up wearing Bata shoes, they would last and last and the only reason you would change them is because you needed a bigger size.
Lately the quality of your shoes has gone from bad to worse, I bought a pair of Power (Adventure) shoes and they lasted me only 4 months before the glue on the sole started coming off and the threading / inside lining came apart. Now in March (24th) this year I bought another pair Bata shoes (Reebok Aviators blue size 7) and the same issue, The inside lining is so flimsy, I have sparsely used this pair and it has lining started to tear. I have written to bata customer customer service twice but no has responded yet

Bata is no longer the brand. They are going the Kinetic way, remember what happened to their Luna moped.

i m a regular consumer of bata shoes last 2 year the shoes not performing well yes the hush puppies is better then bata and the size problem i m facing in agra my size is 11.5 and its not avilavle here and quality is not good now days plz improve it.

I have purchased [protected] leather shoes from -

Bata shoe store, (557/02109) s no. 2552, babasaheb ambedkar chowk, opp deluxe cinema, lt road, pimpri-411017 tel no 020-[protected] -

against cash memo no.16/6/08/1/[protected] dated 16/6/08 20.08 Hrs,

However within single trial after started using the strip at bottom collects beneath the foot & starts pinching from bottom side. It is due to poor gumming, gum wet, ...& related reasons.

I went to the store to return the pair back & asked for refund as 100% compensation.

However the storekeeper / Manager upfront refused for repayment & wanted to settle with repair only. However I need repayment as I don't want to use that model of shoes& will prefer to buy another set of different model. But this was not accepted.

I feel that poor gumming & pinching due to accumulation of strip inside the shoe is a major Quality failure & needs to be addressed urgently. These kinds of goods should not reach Bata outlet since it damages the brand name of such famous shoe brand. Though it is economy class shoe still the required quality should be maintained in the goods sent into the market.

What is a minor failure in the product & what not is to be decided by the customer since it affects the body parts of customer. How to address it in the mfg. process whether major rework or minor rework that is not a question for the customer.

Hence I request 100% refund in this case. The shoes are given back to the store without any receipt obtained. Since they wanted to offer only rework receipt.

Kindly look into the matter & arrange for refund from the same Bata outlet.

I'm using Bata shoes & Chappals since childhood & very fond of. I'm surprised to get such poor quality goods from Bata shop, please keep the quality up & improve the service to customers.

Thanks,

after 2 months...

I have already bought another pair of Bata shoes for me & started using since long.I cannot wait so long without appropriate shoes to wear.

I repeat that whether the defect is " MINOR" depends on the feeling / experience to the customer.Though the defects seems to be minor to the supplier it may cause quite a good pains to the end user.

I still remember, what was the pinching at my foot while wearing the defective pair of shoes.It was unmanageable, That's why I decided to go back to the Bata stores at Pimpri.Else I would have repaired it any where in my nearby surrounding.

This was my stand since the first time I went to the Bata stores at Pimpri, for replacement of that pair of shoe.& I, m still continuing the same.I dont require any repair of the shoe mentioned in below mail. I want only refund as mentioned in the conditions overleaf the invoice received while purchasing the shoe.

Even after 2 visits continuously the store manager was not able to give me the replacement stating various causes& reasons, I, m very much displeased due to his arguements & the way he denied to identify & acknowledge the earlier events.

In the first visit for replacement I was requesting him again again that I want a replacement of this pair of shoe & he even denied to take it in his custody saying that he can receive it & offer a slip only for repair not for replacement. So I, ve no choice but to drop it on his table & move out of the stores.

Even during my subsequent 2 visits he didn't acknowledged the event clearly, & maintained that I was behaving wrongly with him. In fact when I requested him to give his stand in writing he directed me to the website of Bata for complaining.

I have complained in most parliamentary manner in all this issue & now totally frustrated on this point.
So please dont tell me to visit that shop again.

Anyway ..my sincere request to you for refund please at my below mentioned address-

I purchased a pair of shoes from Bata India show room at 9 block jayanagar, Bangalore in October 2006. The brand of shoe is "Hush Puppies" which cost me Rs. 2299/-.

After few months of usage, in January end it was noticed the sole of the shoe ( on both the shoes, 3-4 locations )had cracked. Then returned the shoes to show and lodged the complaint. The store employee promptly took the shoes and ensured that he will get back to me as the warranty is only for 75 days. After that there was no communication from the Bata India. Later after one month gap, I again visited their show room and asked about the complaint. The store manager mentioned he can exchange the shoes with new pair provided I pay half the price. The surprising part is that he mentioned that it takes 3-4 months to get the reply and he is taking the personal risk!. Why a store manager should take a risk unless other wise it is proven beyond point it is defective product!. Also he started telling ### and bull story that the shoes will crack if it is kept unused. Since the shoe is only 3 months old, is Bata expecting people to use the shoe on 24X7 basis? When it was asked why is not mentioned, the store manager came with funny argument saying that it will told when customer inquire about how to use the shoes!

My contention here is that Bata product is not meeting the minimum quality. Probably had i checked the soles on daily basis, would have noticed the defect with in their warranty period. ( which no body would do!) The customer service is pathetic and they come with crazy arguments to cover up the defective products. As the product is defective, Bata India should replace the shoes.

HUSH PUPPIES BY BATA ARE HOPELESS...

I recently bought a pair of Hush Puppies from your Cannaught Place store in Delhi along with my friend who also bought the same pair.

Now both of our shoes have completely cracked up from the base within 1 month of purchasing them.

And believe me, my shoes have the pleasure on walking on the finest surfaces - 5 star hotels and the kinds... they have not even touched the roads...at all, well except when I get off the car.

I am extremely unhappy about how BATA is managing the hush puppies brand.

I did not go to anybody or the bata store as I did not bother to preserve the BILL, as HUSH PUPPIES being a brand I have trusted since long (even before they came to INDIA, under your name).

The purpose of buying such expensive shoes is completely defeated when you have to preserve a copy of the BILL..

That is not how HUSH PUPPIES works, am sure...

EXTREMELY DISGUSTED.

I totally agree that the quality of bata shoes have deteriorated. I bought a pair of casuals shoes, from Bata showroom, Pullimood, MG Rd, Trivandrum, costing Rs.999/- on 27th,Sept, 2006. The payment was made through HDFC credit card.

It has become practically impossible to wear the shoes due to the embarrassing stench of sweat emitting from the footwear. I have been wearing shoes since I started school way back in 1965 and never have I had such a revolting experience even with sports shoes.

I had called the showroom regarding this issue & was advised by the sales executive that a special shoe deodorant (Fresh Force form Kiwi, Rs.125/-) would rectify this. This however made matters even deplorable.

I have been a regular customer at Bata and I must say this is a big disappointment.

I bought a Hush Puppy shoe last year and few months back noticed that sole of both shoes have cracked. Being a long term hush puppy loyalist I was shocked that these shoes which are used 3 days a week had this problem. I went to the company showroom where the manger on seeing the shoes kept shaking his head but expressed his inability to do anything since shoes are more than 3 months old. he accepted it is a manufacturing defect. being a busy person i had no time to argue but did sent a short mail to the company on their website with reminder but have got no response.

This is a big disappointment for someone who has pain Rs 1800 for a high quality shoe for piece of mind and comfort would be grateful if you could help get justice and ensure that other customers are not cheated in similar manner.

Hello there,

I have also experienced the same thing with the same "Pinnosso" shoes. I think Bata should discountinue the "Pinnosso" shoes. I doubt you could get replacement from such a lousy company. May god help you and all bata customer.
