“Will not last all winter”

“I live in central Alaska and wore these boots for daily casual wear around town, to shovel snow and to events where I would be outside for 1-2 hours at the most. I bought them in October 2008. Winter isn't over yet and the rubber bottom part had become separated from the upper material part on both boots. A good friend bought the same pair and hers are doing the same thing. We did not wear them for any extreme sports events, just around town and did not treat them harshly. They did keep my feet warm and dry, even at -40, but I do not feel they are worth it since they do not even last an entire winter. I am extremely dissapointed in these boots.”
