    was not hard, went to their website, found 3 stockiest and all where in the local Huge shopping area at the Mall in Cribbs close to Bristol

    First shop. great they got them,

    can I try them on in a size 11.

    Sorry sir we only have 1 size 8 and have not re stocked them on ages.

    FFS

    second shop.

    Do you do the tiger ...........

    The what??? is the shop assistants reply

    Manager comes over and they don't have them or know what i'm on about

    Last shop. Well known large retailer of shoes/trainers

    Asked if they have them. The reply. We should but have never bothered to get them in.

    Waste of a few hours. well no managed to get a few car and bike mags
    ------------

    But on topic I did not go for the yellow but black. I had a paid many years ago and wanted a new pair of trainers as most one's how a days are rather chav,

    So wanted Classic

    And Ken that was rather good

    And the answer to your question is ..The Internet ...High rates for poor shop owners...Over zealous and over the top parking restrictions , driving the shoppers away. You are not on your own regarding comments on either stock or staff product knowlage you only have to go into Currys to spend a Grand on a computer its like the parting of the waves as Salesman flee into the back to avoid even giving basic assistance .
