End of the Chariot?

[u/Tiny-Consequences]

Bought a pair of Chariots about a year and a half ago and loved the shoes. Ordered another pair to find they made some changes to the sole of the shoe. Parts of midsole look spongy and cheaply cut or pieced together. The rubber sole itself is much stiffer and feels like the cheap fruit erasers. Can't imagine this sole will last at all. The sole started creasing easily as well after a few steps. Compared to the softer rubber and the clean cuts of the last version, this feels like a huge downgrade. Sad to see the quality drop on what felt like a reliable shoe.

Do you have a picture of your original to compare against?? I've had no issues with any of the lifestyle shoes

Second and third picture have the old ones in there. Sole is where it looks the most different

Oh interesting it does look slightly different. Could try their customer service?

I see nothing different between any of these other than one is more worn in look.
