Some online shopping hauls are triumphant. Others become content.
Aus Pabi found herself firmly in the second category after posting a Facebook video on 7 September 2026 that showed her modelling a pair of metallic pointed-toe heels she ordered from Shein. The heels, paired with tan trousers and an oversized graphic T-shirt, looked the part at first glance. The problem was what they did when she walked.
The shoes bent. Not just slightly, but dramatically, folding mid-sole with each step in a way that no heel should. Aus Pabi filmed the whole thing and captioned it:
"Shein, when I catch you! 😭😭😭"
