    Looking at that pitcher I'm thinking those boot off yours had the pu shit in the middle & that's what's failed & that's what failed on my crisps it looks exactly the same as my boots that failed & what a lot off other people complain about happening & if that's the case that is where these Andrew boots are different they don't have the pu shit in the middle but time will tell

    These are Andrews boots so maybe there new boot has changed.

    I still think a lot of boot makers are shafting us. What are we really getting for $600 dollars
    Compared to a tire for $600 you can get 50000km millage from it, Ive said it before on here guys stay i got couple three years out off those lowas, chrispi or what ever brand but they aren't wearing them every day only in the weekends if you are lucky. If i was wearing my crispi every day hunting or tramping i couldn't see them lasting a year.

    I 100% agree there with what you saying bot getting shafted. I have 1 pair off boots & they do every thing from work to hunting & anything in-between so Im happy enough if I get over 12 months but I like to get 18 months & to be fair I don't oil them as often as I should but that a leather issue not a sole issue I also can't stand to wear gumboots so my boots see there fair shear of mud & wet I do have a boot dryer they always go on at night & I think that helps a lot drying all the sweat & dampness out at the end off the day.
