Etonic shoes - ridiculous
« on: December 03, 2009, 04:12:08 AM »
Last I heard from them they told me November for the an interchangeable heel show. Haven''t seen anything so I just emailed them asking when the shoe was coming out.  They have told me 6 -9 months two other times I have asked about the shoe. This was starting back in 2008.  They still have the 2008 catalog on their site with a shoe that they have never offered.  Now it is going to take another year or two. Horrible..

Response below..

"The technology was postponed indefinitely.  This was a result of an unexpected quality related issue that was discovered in the wear-testing phase of this model’s development process.  The quality related issue has been dealt with and shoes should be out sometime in 2012."

Years ago I think it was their rep that told me they had a heel coming out that was adjustable.  You turn a dial and it gave you varying amounts of brake.

2012....Dexter and 3G will already have surpassed Etonic's technology by the time Etonic has come up with their new heel design.

YES.. that was the VHA heel that was supposed to come out in 2008.. there were problems in testing so they scrapped it.. for them to take 4 years to come out with an alternative is crazy... just make a heel that sticks on with velcro like the soles..
