As with any product there is going to be some issues in production.
Are you telling me you never give a product another try after a failure? I'm more judgmental of the company based on how they handle the warranty than I am worried about the failure. If this is your first encounter to a scenario like this you either have a horse shoe shoved up you know where or don't consume very much.
Just try another pair.
I've actually had $300 danners split at the insole before the one year mark, so that doesn't surprise about danners either. Like I said, I've had better luck with $180 sketchers with plastic sewn in eyelets (pictures above of those boots going on 3 years)Ive had 3 pair and put them thru it.Then I run them at work til I wipe them out.I did same thing on some Danners, on first lace up
Excellent service would have been for Kennetrek to pay the shipping.Darn!!
Not on any of my Crispis but did have exact thing happen on some Kennetrek pac boots. Cost me $20 to ship back for free repair. Excellent service but still a pita.
I believe Crispi is an Italian made boot if memory serves me correctly.I dont doubt that Crispi will warranty them without question. I've tried a few Crispi models in my quest for boots. The Colorado & Nevada were my personal favorites.
Crispi's are a high volume boot company mind you. They're comfy, work well enough, and break in easily for most. Ironically the cost about the same as say a Lowa or other high end "Italian Made" boot companies but without question the craftsmanship is not even in the same category as my Lowa's and Lathrop & Sons boots.
You are correctI believe Crispi is an Italian made boot if memory serves me correctly.
