Pieterlab1 Posted September 26, 2019 Share This is my second pair of Catlike Whisper shoes and they are really comfortable, but after less than a year, the sole just suddenly snapped while I was riding. Very Strange!I bought the shoes in April 2018, but didn't ride for 5 months due to injury. I do not think it's normal wear and tear, what do you think?And I do think that shoes should last longer than this.Any of you had this problem with Catlike shoes, or any other brand for that matter.I did email and call Catlike SA a few times, still waiting for them to get back to me... I'll update you when they reply to my mails, if they ever reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmorglebot Posted September 26, 2019 Share That is bizarre! I can only comment on the road version, but I've put 10000+km into my pair, and they were second hand. They're still as stiff as a diamond in an ice storm Hope you come right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If less than a year old you should have a strong case for a warranty. buuuuuuuut good luck with as I'm still waiting on a reply to other queries I've sent them and some are dating back a year now...Chatted to them at the Argust expo with lots of promises but still no responses... great products that of late seems to land with apathetic distributors. The last decent and passionate distributor they had was Cape Cycle Systems who really bent over backwards to make the brand work in SA.

Lets hope local dealers give you some decent support and feedback. Pieterlab1 and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieterlab1 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Got positive feedback from Catlike SA yesterday. They do not currently have stock in my size, but as soon as they do they will do a replacement for me for a small fee. Good service. JohanDiv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted September 27, 2019 Share Great outcome. But what is the "small fee"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
