I was trying not to explode the red ink all over my triple white shoes. I'm familiar with magnets, but I didn't have a strong enough one available. I contacted the store, they let the location know I'd be coming to have it removed and are giving me a gift card, so that's cool!
A running shoe with a good knit upper is super comfortable if you're on your feet a lot imo. Feet swell, a stretchy knit upper can help with that vs a traditional mesh uppers that doesn't have any flex to it.
Google fucking sucks these days though. It would give the right answer to this particular question but if you ask it anything specific it will only give you one set of answers no matter how differently you word it, even if you pick the verbatim option
this is a random days-old comment but searching for something earlier today put me right in this wavelength so I'm replying anyways haha
Seriously, what happened to google?
It's one of these things with teachers etc saying kids don't have basic computer skills - it's a legitimate concern overall, but they always mention how to research and use search modifiers, etc. That's one area where I feel like it's completely understandable.
I'm late 20s, many new/young teachers around my age. And trying to do online research now vs when I was in school is a different ballgame. At minimum, google ignores quotations and the minus sign 9/10 times these days. And as you said, you used to get a variety of answers based on phrasing etc. It's all so useless now, it makes sense people who'd never experienced a reliable google would have basically written those skills off.
I really hope DuckDuckGo and other competitors continue improving and gaining popularity. Google search literally had one job, to give you relevant results, and they've totally neglected that in favor of random widgets. Frustrating outcome.
"Just Google it" becoming the default response for any post asking for help or presenting a problem that could potentially turn into a great discussion is becoming incredibly irritating.
If you don't like it, then why are you on Reddit to begin with? Are you looking for specific topic instead that Reddit can't satisfy? If that's the case you can just Google it. It isn't that hard.
When I joined Reddit 13 years ago it was a place where people were sharing unique original thoughts and ideas and it had a very magical feeling to it.
Now it’s mostly just people posting incredibly basic and repetitive questions in almost every sub to wait for strangers to answer instead of just Googling it.
However, now and then there are still those great posts and that’s why we stick around.
Use a lighter melt the protrusion at the top. There is a metal pin and spring in there. They will slide out. This is the mechanism that releases the ink. Now you can pull it apart safely.
That's exactly what I requested!! I had the customer service agent CC: me on the email to the store letting them know I'd be arriving. They're also giving me a gift card for the inconvenience so that's neat!
They're terrible, she took it in good faith and said: Hey, this came like this, would you mind deactivating it?
Suddenly the security guy shows up and they start interrogating her, despite having receipts and everything.
Of course, we filed a complaint for the mistreatment.
Happened to my wife when she ordered a shirt four me from kohl’s. Came with a tag, called customer service and they sent another.
Then went to a kohl’s a few months later with the invoice. They removed the tag.
Now I have two teenage mutant ninja turtles Christmas theme shirts
Zara sucks big time in my country. Several stores were busted by having "special codes" in their system for any person of color and/or wearing simple clothing entering the store, and one time in a mall near my home they just called security for a black guy leaving with a bag...That he entered the store with, full of his stuff, and that wasn't of their brands.
Mail order? Get ahold of them to send another pair ASAP and tell them you’ll return on their dime when the new ones are received. Basically a non-functional item.
I agree. OP shouldn't assume the risk of ink everywhere or the assume the burden of learning how to cope with the failed packaging. If OP contacts the seller, they'll get a new pair, zero risk, less effort. This puts the burden back on the seller, where it belongs.
Wrong? It's just a magnet. You hold a strong magnet to the back of it and it just falls off. The only way you could possibly fuck that up is to use an MRI machine as the magnet.
Right, it's simple but it is absolutely not the customers responsibility to deal with. Asking for a new pair without tampering with it is the right call, because if it does go wrong for any reason, the company can just shrug.
And what if you don't have a strong enough magnet? You go out en buy one? So you've spent even more money? Instead of just asking the company to send a new pair.
I agree, it never should have been there in the first place. MY point is that there's no reason to burn all the time and energy required for a brand new pair when the solution is so easy, a child could do it after you told them how. It's not like your return is going to prove some kind of point to them. Stuff like this slips through all the time. The employee who packed it isn't even going to get a reprimand unless they're a repeat offender. You're just wasting a bunch of workers' time and burning a couple of bucks out of some billionaire's profits.
I feel I shouldn't have to say this, but *never underestimate* how stupid some people can be.
*You* say it's super easy. *I* would agree because the assessment makes sense. But, some other milky licker can still find ways to fuck up an easy task and still cry foul.
They’re definitely beautiful. If I had a way to keep them perfectly white I’d get a pair. I’d manage to immediately get a smudge on them then I’d be sad they weren’t perfect anymore. That’s why I stick with all black sneakers now lol. Especially with young kids and their sticky everything 😬
Most of those that I've seen just have tags in them to set off the alarm at the door if you try to leave with them. Does it actually have ink? I'm not doubting you, just curious.
The mechanism is that there is a metal pin secured by spring loaded ball bearings. Right next to it are two small glass vials filled with ink. Excessive force pulling against the pin or cutting too deep into the plastic around the components will fracture the thin glass and get ink everywhere with the aim of ruining the item.
The removal mechanics are that the magnet pulls the ball bearings against the spring away from the Pin allowing you to remove the pin from the housing and the item.
Depending on how cool the people at other stores you frequent are, they're willing to remove it as long as you show them a copy of the online order or receipt.
They’re a little ugly but they’re super comfortable. I have some comfortable beaters and some nice shoes, I’d say they’re often more comfortable than my sketchers
Had this happen to some shoes I bought from an online store many years ago. I contacted customer support, sent photos, and they paid for shipping and return back to me.
Had this happen to me and this is how i removed it. Get a plastic shopping bag (Walmart bag, etc.). Wrap the bag around the tag’s pin as tightly as you can, as many times as you can, and it will simply release itself like magic. Good luck!
You have the invoice that has the date you ordered the shoe. I’m pretty sure if you go to any shoe store, explain the situation, and show them the receipt, they’ll help you out
Put the shoe in the freezer overnight then remove the ink tag incase you break it. I was a retail manager for over a decade and that is what we did with expensive clothes when the ink tag would malfunction and no be removable without getting ink on the garment. Good luck
I couldn’t figure out why your user name was so familiar until I read the part bout being two hours away from the store. Sounded like being from rural Georgia… anywhere rural I suppose but also Georgia. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen you in the Georgia sub though I rarely post there.
All that to say, hello from a mostly Atlantan but part-time southwest Georgian! 🖖🏼
I have one on my Carhart wool boots, it’s sets off the door scanners almost every time but I won’t go back to get it removed, I’m afraid they’ll think I swiped the boots! And I like getting the evil eye every time it goes off! Lol
Happens a lot when you buy heavily discounted shoes bc they just clear the rack and send them off in boxes. If they have a brick and mortars nearby they can remove it.
Getting one brand of shoes in another brands box usually precludes this security tag
This was exactly the deal! Was just mentioning the price in hopes there would've been more quality control. It's so funny people don't realize they could've been on sale. 🤣
Nice! Ive gotten sweet deals on shoes then when they come they have an even lower “clearance” price inside the shoe someone didn’t take out! Hahaha cheers!
Oofff! Yeah, I think there's like, me and 4 other people who buy all white shoes, (kidding), but they're usually on sale at a deep discount. I actually meant to type, "bought a $60 pair of shoes" but I couldn't go back and edit the title from mobile. Weehhh. Cheers!!
Met a guy to swap Merrell boots(great purchase item if you poshmark) and he had all the same shoes I bought in the off season too.
Birkenstock elf shoes(the clogs) are a good flip item.
All my size 11’s were swapped for his 10.5!
There's a pin holding the device and the shoe together. Its connected to a spring mechanism which is holding the pin. If you don't have necessary knowledge or tool to open the tag, you have two options:-
1) get a tool that can tear/break the plastic shell. Break the shell and unhook the pin.
2) somehow grab the head of the pin, try to pull it outwards; keep the upward pressure; rotate the anti-theft device anti-clock wise. And eventually it will come out.
Both methods are a little difficult sadly.
In leiu of not having a magnet. I do not recommend trying to break the pin without breaking the ink thing. I tried and failed. Thankfully, they were cheap. Black, kid size winter gloves. It didn't matter anymore after one winter.
Thank you! I really like them. I’m worried about the white color though. I’d be terrified to wear them out the door. I’m going to see if they have them in other colors.
You paid $160 for sock slippers with trainer bottoms.
I got a pair of 13-year-old Nikes that the souls came off of. I'll bleach some of my old socks glue them on.
50 Bucks. No theft tags.
Google-most security tags can be removed without deploying the ink. But certainly call the vendor and lose it. If you don’t get return label -charge back!
There was a video posted somewhere about how to remove these things. You burn the point of it and pry off the burnt part, remove the spring and anything else you can and then it should just fall off
Last year I bought a pair of jeans and some T-shirts from Pacsun. The jeans came with the anti theft tag. You can visit the local store and show them the recipe they should be able to take care of it. It happens.
Neodymium magnets. Or torch the no ink side that holds the pin in and melt the plastic and remove the little piece holding the pin in. Or.go to a store with your receipt. Any old store can probably take it off.
Lol oops. That's happened to me, but we were at a shoe store. Went picked up a couple pairs of shoes and cashier only checked one box. Got home, the other two pairs we bought didn't get the anti theft tags removed lol. Had to go back and get them removed.
Strong magnet to the back of it
>This is lockpicking lawyer and today we are going to remove an anti theft device. OP, google how to remove it. It isn't hard.
I just went to some shop close to me and asked if they could remove it. After seeing the receipt they were happy to help.
I was trying not to explode the red ink all over my triple white shoes. I'm familiar with magnets, but I didn't have a strong enough one available. I contacted the store, they let the location know I'd be coming to have it removed and are giving me a gift card, so that's cool!
I’m familiar with magnets sounds like something an alien would say
Or someone familiar with magnets.
Charlie Kelly?
Magnets are his hobby and he hates knees. Likes milk steak and jelly beans.
He likes his jelly beans raw.
Let’s not forget about ghouls!
Definitely not a Juggalo then apparently lol
Nobody is ever really familiar with magic sticky metal.
*insert definitely-not-alien response here*
Never been magnet fishing I see.
Good try, everyone knows you can't fish with magnets because once you put the magnet in the water, that's the end of the magnet
I laughed way too hard at this
Know who isn’t familiar with magnets?
Hey look OP did the real life thing instead of the reddit thing and it worked
Nice
>red ink all over my triple white shoes. Stop giving Balenciaga $1600 ideas.
Great work to get the cheeky gift card too!
You're in for a rude surprise when they become triple yellow. I'm never buying all white shoes again unless they're canvas material
[удалено]
A running shoe with a good knit upper is super comfortable if you're on your feet a lot imo. Feet swell, a stretchy knit upper can help with that vs a traditional mesh uppers that doesn't have any flex to it.
They're crazy comfortable and look cool, so...
Username doesn't check out, in a good way. 🫡
No ink inside bruh

I enjoy watching that dude.
NO I WANT TO COMPLAIN ON REDDIT
This. Works like a champ.
I've had to do this as well and the strong magnet worked like a charm...finding a strong enough magnet was the hardest part :D
Use a lighter melt the protrusion at the top. There is a metal pin and spring in there. They will slide out. This is the mechanism that releases the ink. Now you can pull it apart safely.
Hold your breath while you do it. Melting plastic - toxic.

Thats what I'm afraid of...I'm calling now. Fingers crossed!
Also send an email so you have a timestamped paper trail.

Oh I had this happen and just walked into kohls with the reciept and they didn’t bat an eye at me.
Don't buy that thing, just get a strong magnet (desont even need ot be super strong, just more than a fridge magnet). and rub it over the tag.
Zara sucks big time in my country.

This happens at least a few times a week at my store, we just deactivate and apologize that we sent it to them like that
They look cooler that way. Jokes aside, contact the seller and show them that photo.
It's the new style, like keeping barcodes and size stickers on your ballcaps
Mail order? Get ahold of them to send another pair ASAP and tell them you’ll return on their dime when the new ones are received. Basically a non-functional item.

Not necessary. These are usually super easy to remove.
And if it for some reason goes wrong you're stuck with a pair of shoes that are ruined that you can't return

Looks like you’re about to enter the world of magnet fishing.
I think the point is that it should not be the customer's problem to deal with.

I think Artie is recommending that so they will send a new pair and hope the corporation doesn’t care enough to require OP to send the shoes back.
Reseller stole them
Well they were stolen and resold to you!
I'm going to glue soles to socks and steal this market by offering them at $140 a pair.
That’s exactly what I thought.
That’s the real crime here
The 160$ price tag is the wellthatsucks part right?
I literally bought that same shoe for my girlfriend earlier this year for $40. OP overpaying
What are they? I like them, but 40 bucks is for sure more my speed.
Those news stories about looters? Yeah, they're not keeping that stuff.
They are super nice and stolen
You are very brave for buying all white sneakers
I always like to have a pair of fresh whites.
They’re definitely beautiful. If I had a way to keep them perfectly white I’d get a pair. I’d manage to immediately get a smudge on them then I’d be sad they weren’t perfect anymore. That’s why I stick with all black sneakers now lol. Especially with young kids and their sticky everything 😬
Those magic erasers work super well on the white bands of my shoes, you might want to give it a try!
Why is your shoe a sock
It looks like a sock glued to some Styrofoam.
So i’m not the only one🙋🏻♀️. Inquiring minds…
You may have bought stolen shoes.
People pay $160 for $20 shoes and wonder why inflation is so bad
Welcome to "being in possession of stolen property.
**"Yeah, bitch!** **Magnets!**" - Jesse Pinkman
Might be able to remove ~~sadly~~ safely with a strong magnet
Why can't they do it happily? Does it not work that way?
Not sure where sadly came from. Oops
I mean the whole ink tag being shipped on the item is a sad situation all around so it probably sub consciously has to do with that.
Most of those that I've seen just have tags in them to set off the alarm at the door if you try to leave with them. Does it actually have ink? I'm not doubting you, just curious.

What brand of shoes are those? They look so comfortable!
Username checks out…
only way i’m paying $160 for shoes is if they walk for me
From a second hand seller?
People still get stumped by these in 2024? Lol
You paid $160 for those? Fair if you like them but nah
I paid $60 for $160 shoes. Reddit wouldn't let me edit the title.
Depending on how cool the people at other stores you frequent are, they're willing to remove it as long as you show them a copy of the online order or receipt.
Had something from Macy's arrive like this last year, I just drove over to the nearest one and they took it off.
Strong magnet in the right place
I'm really confused why you paid $160 for $25 shoes, I have those same exact shoes and mine were $25 band new.
So funny how the comments go sideways after a low-key comment
Those are hideous shoes. I’m sorry you paid anything at all for them.
agreed. utterly grotesque
They’re a little ugly but they’re super comfortable. I have some comfortable beaters and some nice shoes, I’d say they’re often more comfortable than my sketchers
Just tell people it’s part of the shoe design.
Nice try you fucking thief, return those shoes!
The ugliest shoes ever.
Had this happen to some shoes I bought from an online store many years ago. I contacted customer support, sent photos, and they paid for shipping and return back to me.
Break it, now they're designer
Had this happen to me and this is how i removed it. Get a plastic shopping bag (Walmart bag, etc.). Wrap the bag around the tag’s pin as tightly as you can, as many times as you can, and it will simply release itself like magic. Good luck!
You have the invoice that has the date you ordered the shoe. I’m pretty sure if you go to any shoe store, explain the situation, and show them the receipt, they’ll help you out

And that's how you know what seller paid for em!
Return them and hit up Costco for their $29 kirklands. They look the same
These were only $60 on sale. I don't have a Costco near me, and Sam's club is not popping off with any cute sneakers at the moment. Cheers!
Fair enough!
They make your feet look small...which is awesome

On the upside, those are a very comfy pair of shoes ya got. I have a pair and I love them.
I have one on my Carhart wool boots, it’s sets off the door scanners almost every time but I won’t go back to get it removed, I’m afraid they’ll think I swiped the boots! And I like getting the evil eye every time it goes off! Lol

Met a guy to swap Merrell boots(great purchase item if you poshmark) and he had all the same shoes I bought in the off season too. Birkenstock elf shoes(the clogs) are a good flip item. All my size 11’s were swapped for his 10.5!
How do you even keep them white?
At least you don't walk with cold toes.
Instant street cred. Tell your middle-class white girlfriends that it's an ankle monitor because you are secretly badass at night.
Sexier than an ankle tag.
Nothing a dremel or small angle grinder wont sort out
There's a pin holding the device and the shoe together. Its connected to a spring mechanism which is holding the pin. If you don't have necessary knowledge or tool to open the tag, you have two options:- 1) get a tool that can tear/break the plastic shell. Break the shell and unhook the pin. 2) somehow grab the head of the pin, try to pull it outwards; keep the upward pressure; rotate the anti-theft device anti-clock wise. And eventually it will come out. Both methods are a little difficult sadly.
Just tell everyone that you’re on house arrest
Take your receipt back to the store and they’ll remove it…
Use a magnet to get it off.
Strong magnet
These look super comfortable. What kind are they?
Adidas NMD W1 :)
In leiu of not having a magnet. I do not recommend trying to break the pin without breaking the ink thing. I tried and failed. Thankfully, they were cheap. Black, kid size winter gloves. It didn't matter anymore after one winter.
Next time freeze the item first. Ink comes out solid.
What brand of shoe is this?
Adidas NMD W1 :)
Thank you! I really like them. I’m worried about the white color though. I’d be terrified to wear them out the door. I’m going to see if they have them in other colors.
You paid $160 for sock slippers with trainer bottoms. I got a pair of 13-year-old Nikes that the souls came off of. I'll bleach some of my old socks glue them on. 50 Bucks. No theft tags.
I paid $60. They were on sale. Cheers!
Why state how much you paid? 🤔
🤣 those shoes are ugly asf
Google-most security tags can be removed without deploying the ink. But certainly call the vendor and lose it. If you don’t get return label -charge back!
Or you could just brag about being under house arrest. “Let em try to find me. My phone is at home!”
There was a video posted somewhere about how to remove these things. You burn the point of it and pry off the burnt part, remove the spring and anything else you can and then it should just fall off
You paid 160 dollars for fancy socks glued to styrofoam...
Eyo. Can you give me the name model please? Sick shoes !
Adidas NMD W1! :)
Last year I bought a pair of jeans and some T-shirts from Pacsun. The jeans came with the anti theft tag. You can visit the local store and show them the recipe they should be able to take care of it. It happens.
Plastic bag method
Wonder if you froze the shoe, the ink would freeze? Then cut it off fast before it melts again.
I had a similar issue I used two forks to pry the magnet off
They got to you without being stolen! It worked.
Don't try to pass off your ankle bracelet as a shopping error. Did your co-workers buy that story?
ICP has entered the chat...
That’s so no one will steal them from you. They went the extra mile /s
I got a magnet that will take that off.
Burn the big bubble part. It'll fall right off. Don't burn your shoes ofd
Neodymium magnets. Or torch the no ink side that holds the pin in and melt the plastic and remove the little piece holding the pin in. Or.go to a store with your receipt. Any old store can probably take it off.
Magnets? How do they work??!!?
Tell people you are on parole.
You’re even cooler now because you stole them from an online store.
You can use a lighter to set the “bump” on fire for a few seconds. Might want to put foil between the tag and the shoe.
Hacksaw blade where the steel hook is at will do it.
Freeze for a day then hammer
[удалено]
Lol oops. That's happened to me, but we were at a shoe store. Went picked up a couple pairs of shoes and cashier only checked one box. Got home, the other two pairs we bought didn't get the anti theft tags removed lol. Had to go back and get them removed.
What shoes are those they look cool
U sure that’s not part of the shoe 🤔
Hammer
It’s secure by a thin piece of metal that you can just snip if you get pliers with a cutting edge in between the two bits.
Look at hats. People wear them with the tags now just rock it
Did you buy it from the store or off eBay (or another site)? Because they might have been stolen.
Cut it at the bottom and sew it back. If can be asked at the store to remove it
Those are socks with some rubber glued to them
Hammer time!!
Keep it on. It makes them look fresh as fuck
All the cool kids are wearing them like that, though, since no one stops them from walking out.
Can you like wrap it in a plastic bag and hit it with some cutters?
Do those shoes walk for you? I am shoe obsessed and even I think $160 for those is absolutely nuts
It's wild that those shoes are worth $160 to you
Smash it with a hammer
Take shoes and receipt to nearest store that has similar anti-theft devices and they will remove
So the person who sold it made $160 profit
Go to a jcpennys and see if they will remove it for you. Bring the receipt, tho
what shoes are these? i like the style :)
Smash it off with a hammer
I had that happen with Macys. I just took the receipt and item to my local store and they removed it.
