text: The handle to one of the boots broke as we put it on my daughter. Now, as she was eager to wear them, she started to cry. Then I told her maybe we needed to send them back for a replacement, and it was the end of the world. I just tried to glue the broken part as best I could, because there was no talking the 4 year old out of wearing them. I know these are kids' boots, but they shouldn't break as they are being tried on. I've bought Western Chief boots before, Hello Kitty ones no less, and they were more durable. I guess their quality is declining, so it's probably the last pair for us.
