Bata, the brand which was once used as a synonym for footwears has now completely lost its quality, customer service, and competition. Just bought a bata sandal for myself from a bata store at a mall for the price of ₹1200 with the thought that it would run without any problem for atleast a year. But just after a week, its lower part begin to separate from the upper part. It seemed like they were stuck using a third quality glue. So I glued them with a quality gum and ignored it. And again after few days, the other sandal got completely removed from its base. After shelling that much amount you get such a cheap stuff is completely unacceptable.
