Do not purchase Carolina Brand Work boots, I purchased a pair wore them one winter, and they fell apart, all around the sore. Call Carolina Brand Boot Com. and they were of no help, and really did not even care...You would think a $125.00 pair of boots would last longer than 13 months!!..I do not even wear them in the warmer months. They are just a pos...do not purchase!!!They are junk!!What more can I tell you..Why should I have to go and get the return form from a retailer? Carolina Boots Com. will not let you send the product back to them to be checked out, for the problem.. So my trash man has them now..I guess it is a long way back to China!!!
