The young woman didn't share the reason for the return. However, in the video, the 'G' printed on the shoe was already fading. One person in the comment section noted Sma should have returned the sandals after three months.

The shoe shopper replied with a picture of her refund receipt:

"I did, babes, three hours after I purchased them. I was so sad, shem. I will definitely buy something different next time."

@nolly_rose7 also wanted to know the reason:

"Why, babes? Please let us know before we go and buy."

@msmotaung shared their opinion:

"What bothers me about this store is the price, quality and quantity of items they sell. Mustn't the price of an item match the quality of the item?"

@d3440116 advised the woman:

"Never buy the first batch. Wait a bit."

Woman shows 'lazy' way to clean shoes

In another story, Briefly News reported about a young woman on TikTok who took a different approach when it came to washing her dirty trainers.

She popped the shoes into her washing machine and used baking soda, lemon juice, and vinegar. Some people on the internet approved this method, while others thought it would damage the shoes.
