I bought these shoes for my husband in January 2016. Three days ago on April 20, 2016, the stitching on the upper left side of his left boot came undone while wearing it. I have ordered shoes of this brand/style before with no problems other than changing the sole. In fact, I ordered the same style in black in October 2015. These shoes have been worn minimally, probably less than 10 times in four months, so very disappointing. The only solution is to take them to a shoe repair shop to be altered.PS My husband just reminded me that we had to alter the previous pair.
