“Broke My Hand”

“I bought these boots last spring for this winter and pulled them on for our first big snow. After walking through the snow I came onto a walkway to the train and slipped up in the air and landed on my hand and broke it. After the emergency room and my hand put in a cast I wore the boots the next day and again after walking in the snow I came to a smooth surface of pavement and I realized it was the boots - they have no traction - it was as though I was walking on ice. They are in the garbage. I have other Mephisto gore-tex hiking boots that are great in snow, ice, rain and then to walk on smooth floors. These boots have a basic technology flaw and should not be worn in inclement weather.”
