"The heel came off! I have bought this brand more than once, because they have style and sophistication, but after about 6 months of wear, the heel of the boot cam off. The entire heel did not come off, but the bottom plate did in both pairs. Imagine my embarrassment when I suddenly fall as I got out of my car. I do not do a lot of climbing or anything that would remove the heel, but this is ridiculous. I would expect better quality from shoes that cost me $100"
