Kids' Brooklyn Sneaker

I bought these for my son for back to school and in less than a month they started showing signs of significant wear. In 5 weeks of wearing - just to school - the top part of one of the shoes was completely detached. I took the shoes into the store I purchased from and the manager wasn't able to help me at all. She told me that because it was outside of the return window and that the shoes were worn outside, she couldn't do a single thing. I mentioned that if I'd purchased from the Vans store (for just a few dollars more) they would stand by their product. She said that "well, yes, they would. But because you didn't purchase them at the Vans store, they won't return them either." Because the Rack won't stand by the products they sell, I will not be shopping there any more.
