"My husband loved these shoes and so did I. After several months the heel split in two and busted apart from the sole of the shoe. I was shocked! I plan on contacting the store whom I'm sure will be helpful. I think that paying over $100 for a pair of shoes you should get more than 4 months wear, don't you think? I have $40 Tahari shoes going on 5 years and only had the heel replaced. He does not even wear these everyday, he has shoes for different outfits. The look of the boot is excellent though!"
