GOT MY CHECK TODAY IN CA. FOR $87.27 HAPPY ME.
I notice in most class actions they go pro rata and people get less than they were supposed to get. does that mean if not many people signed up we would get more than we were supposed to get hhmmmmmmm
Getting 43.63 for one pair is not hope nor is 87.00.pure rip off. Tell what quality shoe you can buy for 43.00.
Too many people who didnt buy the shoes reduced the real amount ..TRUTH…
What can a 43.ck or 87 buy nothing..not even 100. goes far.lol ..The joke and wait has been on us.I knew most unfortunately it would be low balled ..Thank God I have money in the bank and this will not break me like some other people most regrettably who needed that 100.00 .Its very sad..
Okay signing off Take care .this has not been fun.Life goes on and its beautiful.!!!!
I just called the 800 number my check was mailed in the amount of $87.27. I didn’t receive a skechers check so there is hope people.
