text: This is my first review but felt a need to warn buyers with the issues I'm having with these boots.  The shoe laces started shredding after the first use.  and the metal eyelets for the shoe laces holes are probably the culprit.  One of the shoelace eyelets is already falling off.  I have purchase Frye Boots before and they were better quality.  These just do not cut it.  Now amazon is telling that i cannot return because it is beyond their 30 day return policy. So I'm stuck with shoes that are falling apart and that cut through shoe laces every time i use them.
