Netizens criticized the poor quality of the original bird shoes. The original bird shoes, which cost over a thousand yuan, broke in less than a month.

According to China News Network, "Middle-aged men have three treasures, fishing, Maotai, and Archaeopteryx," which is a popular phrase circulating online in recent years. However, nowadays, Archaeopteryx has encountered a decline in reputation, not only because of fireworks shows making headlines, but also due to frequent disputes over product quality. "I bought these shoes on July 20th, and they broke in less than a month," a consumer showed a picture of broken Archaeopteryx shoes. On social media platforms, many netizens have posted photos of their Archaeopteryx shoes coming unglued and damaged, some after only wearing them for a month or two. One netizen said they bought two pairs, both of which showed some degree of ungluing, which seems to be a common issue. Although ungluing is considered a normal phenomenon, it is still difficult for consumers who have spent over a thousand yuan to accept.
