Le site verytangostore.com est-il sûr ?

BEWARE. See pictures and full story at ***** After my review, two things happened: (1) The merchant sent an email titled "revenge" and threatened to expose, publicize and spread my private home addresses all over the internet unless I remove all critical reviews (2) positive reviews started apearing. This merchant is quite new (US site registered ***** via godaddy.com) and lures you in with known brand tango shoes. I ordered two pair of shoes thinking "Hey, this site advertises big tango brands: Greta Flora, 2x4 AlPie, Artesanal ... so the shoes must be good quality". What a joke. The catch is that some of the other shoes, whose origin or brands are not listed, are MADE IN CHINA (brand name: Natural Spin). The merchant is selling these shoes, that looks almost the same as the existing brands, with almost the same price. I tried to discuss the quality issues with the seller but they did not acknowledge that anything was needed for further discussion. The quality of these made in China shoes are no match for real known brands, no matter how similar they may look in the pictures. The problems were many: leather is wrinkled inside the toe cup, the toe cup's upper lining is horribly cheap looking and exposed to the outside, the bottom's sole rocks the shoe when put on straight table, glue spots are visible etc. And did I mention that they look cheap on the dance floor? The seller's response for possibility to get a refund is illuminating: <quote>men's are lower quality (hence I sell 2x4) the women's are as top quality as any of the brands. I have many customers who have bought other top Argentinean women's tango shoes, and have rejected them to us, and tell us that our brand is superior</quote> Yeah right. Check out how Argentine "2x4 Al Pie" shoes with their specially constructed free movement soles that offer superior maneuverability for the ball of the foot -- usually considered the Rolls Royce of men's Tango Shoes -- are such a low quality at their homepage ***** My two women's tango shoe order was received ***** and the id from the merchant was #2254. It took staggering 5.5 weeks from order to shoes to arrive to doorstep. Happy throwing away your money with the "Natural Spin" women's tango shoes.
