text: This is my second pair. My first pair I bought in Nordstrom, I really liked the Leather upper but in less than a year the toe separated from the upper this eventually happened on both pair of shoes. Than the whole bottom came unglued well before the soles showed any signs of wear. I never had this problem even with a cheap $20 pair of shoes. I assumed it was a bad batch and couldn't happen again so I bought another pair a year later and the same thing is happening on the right toe of the new pair which is only 5 Months old. I got upset that the company is obviously aware of the defect so I called them, they were nice, assured me there was a one year warranty but when I sent the shoes in I was told it was from abuse and they sent the old pair back. I sent them back again with a note explaining my position and they still would not repair or replace the shoes. What a sleezy way to conduct business. They need to get in line with all the other shifty companies that cove up their defects and screw the public. Shame Timberland.
