I was brand lover of Bata for decades because of their quality and reliability of products were high. Now days they forgot their loyal customer base and just wanted to sell their NAME. Because their quality of products falling down and no value on the product for the price (road side shoes are far better) I am leaving from Bata loyal community.
Recently (that will be my last product from Bata) I purchased a casual shoe (Name: Jazz) for my morning walks. With in a week of time (I used it for 300 minutes only) the sole (right leg) started peeling off from the shoe. I started to adjust and wear. Now the status of the shoes (after 30 days walk) are NOT WEARABLE.
I could not use it now as both the sole are totally got crushed inside. I went to the store where I purchased and shown the shoe condition. "That is normal sir! You need to change the sole; it is 99 rupees only.", replied the store manager. Also he himself demonstrated the poor quality of a new shoe from the store.
The moral: Do not trust the name: Bata.
