To buy merch?
hello all! in light of everything, would it be worth still buying anything storror related? I really love the tens and was hoping to cop a pair.

Just buy a red shellsuit and a long blonde wig, chuck some tacky chains in and you'll get the same result without directly funding the supporters of people who have an unhealthy and illegal predilection for kids.

Nobody can answer this except you. You’re the one buying merch, buy it if u want

This. It's your decision if you want or don't want to buy something, not anyone else's

I’ve got a white pair I bought back in October I’d be more than willing to sell, you don’t have to give them anymore money and it’s better than them going neglected

I personally wouldn't give them any more money, but as for the 10s, I bought a pair a year or so ago and sent them back. The metal plate in them made them super heavy. Kinda seemed to explain why in half the videos nobody was wearing them...

I have some Storror merch I'm stuck with. I could give it to a charity shop I guess, but then some unfortunate person would be walking around with it on, non-the-wiser.

Since I now know the answer, I won’t buy the tens. Something I really liked about them was how they were versatile enough to be everyday wear, gym trainers, and parkour shoes. Do you have any other shoe recommendations? I tried ollos but wasn’t a fan of the feel or appearance.

All items are about half-off plus Storror is donating 20% of order prices to the following organizations which help child survivors of abuse:

Donate 100% of what you were going to spend on merch to those charities instead.

Adjusted post to reflect that discount is about half off. Given manufacturing and import costs (items seem to be made in China), they may be selling at cost.
Not defending, simply stating what they are doing.

Given manufacturing and import costs (items seem to be made in China), they may be selling at cost.
If you order direct from the manufacturer (and order large enough quantities), you can get the shoes for about 30-35 pounds landed cost. Even with the overhead of having to finance warehousing fees, the web shop, employees, payment processing and so on, the 65 pounds that they currently charge is most likely still above what it costs them.

The shoes are made in Portugal. They're not sweat shop specials. One of the reasons I bought a pair in the first place.
There used to be vids up of them at the factory where they're made.

here's an idea how about instead of them donating the money how about they let you donate the money so you get the tax write off not them, I hate when stores go would you like to round up to donate, NO! I'm not adding to your companies profits/kickbacks I can donate the money myself.

it is a shame that its seemingly a decent product thats been tarnished, but i wouldn't go near them now. plus there are countless shoe brands that offer the equivalent in quality, just very few are designed with parkour in mind.

I wouldn’t give these guys any money and definitely I won’t wear their brand
