Under consumer law, goods should be fit for purpose and last a reasonable lifetime (assuming no undue wear and tear). I'm going to assume here that you haven't done anything excessive with the runners.

Therefore, you are entitled to one of the 3 "R"s - a refund, replacement or repair. The law doesn't specify which one has to be offered, but it should be acceptable to both parties (the retailer and the consumer).
