text: After ordering 2 pairs with defects, I gave up on this boot. Major quality control issues. The first pair had a gash of leather taken out of the side of the boot. The second pair's sole was coming off from the inside heal, causing a loud noise &#34;pop&#34; every time I took a step. With the second pair, a gash was also taken out of the leather on the other boot. I don't think I'll risk a third pair.  I hope the company is listening to these reviews.
