text: All and all I loved how these boots looked and fit, really nice and snug. However I had been using them for about 2 weeks and I started noticing that there was a lump in one of my boots and it HURT my foot. After taking it to a shoe repair place I found out that the &#34;Triple Ribbed Steel&#34; shank snapped!<br />So I'm not sure if I got a one and a million defective boot or what, but I know I can't break steel that easily.
