MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Well the ones I ordered are still showing at £20 so if it *was* a mistake, surely they knew and would have corrected by now?
Depends on the mistake, their systems and how quickly they can rectify this through the Amazon marketplace tools. All the same, I would have expected them at the very least to start pulling things from the marketplace to reduce the damage.
Could also be they don't know yet. Maybe the stock alert systems, which would show anomalies in order patterns, they have on their own backend doesn't work with stuff being sold through Amazon. So it could just be getting packed up and sent out by workers who just do what the tickets coming down tell them.
If you try to add to your basket the ones johndoh linked to you'll get the following message even though they are showing as in stock, so looks like they are on the case.
[i]We're sorry. The item Salomon Mens X Ultra GTX Walking Shoes Ortholite Insoles Lightweight Black/Autobahn UK 9(43) is no longer available from the seller you selected. To see if it's available from another seller, click here to return to the item's product detail page.[/i]
Well I will have to wait and see then.
Saw a nice pair of Converse pumps in TK to the Maxx at lunchtime at £16 so I will get those if this one doesn't come through.
Why not push the boat out and, possibly, get both?
Because we have spent an inordinate amount of money in the last two months (wife's 40th, our girls 7th birthday) and are about to book a summer holiday so I am trying to be good so we don't go overdrawn.
The ones I ordered earlier have gone back up to over a £100. Here's hoping.
Let the cancellation emails commence 🙂
Yep, mine's cancelled.
Cancelled not surprised really
Hmm. Given the replies, they must be processing the list in alphabetical order. Usernames beginning with C next 🙂

mine too. I now notice it's changed from 'field & trek' seller to 'Sports direct'
Ordered, now cancelled. Dammit.
I only got part of my order cancelled... What does that mean?
Cancelled here too
Bugger. Mine cancelled too. What a joke. Anything similar for a similar price???
[quote=Rogan Josh ]I only got part of my order cancelled... What does that mean?
you get one shoe?
You know what boils my piss?
I placed an order on Amazon and then had to cancel it about ten minutes later. They said that the order had proceeded too far and that I would have to return them and go through the refunds process.
Gah!
You know what boils my piss?
I saw that, and thought it would be hilarious if I posted a pic of something that could indeed boil piss.
So I searched on amazon for 'piss boiler'
Erm...ok.

Well, there's a niche market. 😯
I'd probably use one of these..

One cancelled, one in limbo.
I caved in and ordered some Salomon 4D boots. Still showing as 'we're preparing your order'.
How many of you above are Amazon Prime members (I am), and I wonder if that makes a difference to orders being fulfilled.

Makes no difference whatsoever on non-Amazon fulfilled orders.
I am surprised one or two orders haven't slipped through, but I expect everyone to get cancellation emails. I imagine they are cancelling orders one by one, in case some orders have correctly priced items from them in there.
well i placed an order and have heard nothing, we'll see what happens.
I am a Prime member and still showing as preparing for dispatch.
It is all a bit weird, I went for a different Salomon shoe from the same provider (Field and Trek).
Now they are showing up as over £100 and from a different store altogether. I suppose we are now the accidental gamblers on a bet between the warehouse and the people who are fixing the data. Come on! I need shoes!
I won't be too peeved if they do cancel - I'm already called Imelda in our household as I have a lot more shoes than my wife!
Bought a pair of GTX's, will have to see if they arrive!
Cancellation email received.
Was worth a try!!
The ones i ordered (@£20) are now priced at £94.99.
Haven't received my cancellation email yet . . .
No email yet. But will be expecting it
Cancelled here. Arse.
So far 3 orders, 1 cancelled. I expect them all to be nuked over the next 24hrs.
1 order of 4 pairs of Salomon's and no cancellation order (yet), trying to be realistic but I wish they would let them slip through the system.
...and there's the last two cancelled.
Ah well, it smelled fishy once it turned out a whole swathe of their stock was £20.
FWIW, I got a pair of Mavic MTB shoes from Sports Direct last year for not much more than £25. They do sometimes just sell off stock.
Cancelled here too
I know it's a glitch, but still doesn't seem right. Oh well, was too good to be true
Speedcross cancelled, I assume the boots will be as well!! 🙁
Boots just cancelled 🙁
Cancelled too! Sorry for the faux pas!
Yep cancelled. Ah well worth a go
My moabs just arrived!
Kidding.... Not cancelled yet though....
Kidding.... Not cancelled yet though....
same here. still awaiting the email
Thanks again STW. Postie just arrived with my Amazon parcel - a £9.99 Spiralizer 🙂
No cancellation email yet, but I'm sure it'll arrive soon.
Nothing here yet.
Still[i] Preparing for Dispatch[/i]
Same here, and pending transaction still showing on my bank account.
Nothing happening with the ones I ordered yet either.
Although I doubt they'll be turning up.
The salomon xlites are 30 gbp on sd.com, same lacing system and lovely light shoe. The ladies version is 25. Sizes on mens a bit limited now, I think they are last year's model.
Cancelled
What's the legality around this? If a product is displayed at a certain price, doesn't it legally have to then be sold at that price, or is that physical retail only?

nope
Sorry they are x mission 2.....they are really lite though
http://www.sportsdirect.com/SearchResults?DescriptionFilter=X%20Mission
£30 for mens, £25 for womens at SD
My order still at pending dispatch. Expecting it will be for the chop though.

No it doesn't where the price is obviously wrong but they can cancel if the wish anyway. A shop can just refuse to sell you it.
Still not had the email yet. I wonder how many £20 items were "bought" yesterday?
I suspect somebody is wearing his ass like a hat today.
Just got the cancellation email
Mine just got cancelled
Cancelled. Gah!
Spoke too soon, now cancelled.
Death, taxes and Amazon cancelling your order for some cheap Salomons.
Just cancelled here too
Yep cancelled here too. Oh well.
Unless you have spades for feet I wouldn't get too upset, salomons are crazy wide.
I bought a pair a few weeks back to tide me over while waiting for warranty replacements from Walsh (again). My feet were in bits by the end of the first run, soooooo much movement inside the shoe.
We're writing to inform you that your order 204-8633207-7257908 from Field & Trek has been cancelled
Cancelled for me too...
It goes on for a few pages...

Some people are so entitled. It was obviously a mistake and we all took a punt on it. No need to whine.
Speed cross wide? I bought a size 10.5 as I'm normally between a 10 and an 11 and they were so tight I need a 12 just to stop my toes crossing over themselves.
Speed cross wide?
Yeah, I raised an eyebrow at that. I find them narrow, and was of the understanding that was a universal acceptance that you needed to size up .5+ to get the width.
No emails but disappeared on my Amazon account although it is still shown as a pending transaction on my online banking...

Are these your feet?

Why? I've had Salomon shoes from sports direct for a similar price.It was obviously a mistake
Why?
Because every single shoe they sold was reduced to £20.
Merrells, Salomon, Muddy Fox ....all £20.
Plus the price was different on F&T/USC/SD's actual website.
As I said on the earlier. I found them wide as well.
Interestingly everyone says size up. They said the same on the raidlight shoes earlier in the week.
I didn't and they fit
Makes me think folks on here just have bigger feet than they think.

Possibly.
All I know is I am 9 in Nike, Inov8, Keen, Scarpa, Haglofs, Puma, TNF, Converse....but always 9.5 in Merrell, Salomon and Adidas.

Which assumes you looked, i had a few doubts because the boots i "bought" had a fair chunk off, but came in limited sizes so took the opinion that f&t were shifting old stock on Amazon so never bothered to dig much deeper
I can't wear adidas
Too narrow. Even sizing up doesn't work they are just the wrong last because they end up too long then and my feet rattle about and my toe nails fall off.
Footwear is much like helmets and simply sizing up does not maketh the shoe fit ime
I agree trail rat. I love adidas but all my ones are loose at the heel but fit in the toes. Nike flynit are much better but the best fit for me is vibram five fingers.

The salomons I have fit me just fine.
Order just cancelled here too.
Two pairs of trainers cancelled. First Brexit and now this. It's all too much.
