My teenage son purchased many pieces of fencing equipment at a local tournament including shoes He tested the purchased shoes for fit and comfort at the sales table, but once he wore the shoes to his regular fencing lesson he discovered he had no traction and could not properly lunge The flooring surface at the sales table is quite different from the flooring surface at the Academy where he fences Absolute Fencing Gear's response was that they could not accept the shoes once worn and it was a lesson learned to test traction and lunging capability upon purchase I know of no other company that operates under such rude customer service I assumed merchandise sold by Absolute Fencing Gear would meet any fencer's needs, but apparently not so Absolute Fencing Gear is not in the business for customer satisfaction
