A City of Industry shoe distributor has issued an apology and recalled a combat boot after a customer discovered the sole left a swastika imprint. “This was in no way intentional, it was an obvious mistake made by our manufacturers in China,” the company wrote. “We never intended to have any swastikas design on our shoes.”The apology came after a Reddit user shared photographs of the work boot this week showing the sole and the swastika imprint it had left behind. “There was an angle I didn’t get to see when ordering my new work boots,” the Reddit user said. “We will not be selling any of our boots with the misprint to anyone,” the company said.
