              Drama in Danner land.

              I guess my boots didn't fit into the "resole package" so they tried to charge me $150 for the "premier Package." I mentioned to the nice lady that having to put $150 into $340 boots six months after purchase was a little insane. After a few emails and a phone call from a higher up at Danner, they decided to warranty the boots. The problem with that is that the warranty doesn't cover repair, but only allows for replacement. I'm not really digging anything else they have to offer functionally or aesthetically. I guess I'm just gonna have to pay for the repairs anyway. What a mess.

                  For what these companies charge for boots, You'd think they would just make it right and keep a customer forever. Oh well. Not every company can be run by Giles, right? 😃

                    ^Too true… I was quite pleased to just receive excellent customer service from Hank Player. One of my tees developed a small hole by the tag (too much pressure on the bobbin when sewing I think) so I contacted them and they sent out a new shirt right away no questions asked.

                            I quote this from an article on Qatar, reputedly the wealthiest nation on earth…..

                            "It's bewildering for students to graduate and be faced with 20 job offers," one academic at an American university campus in Qatar tells me. "People feel an overwhelming pressure to make the right decision."

                            My God, that must be tough, my heart bleeds for the poor dears….

                                    why not just order a replacement pair and sell them to get a pair of boots that won't fall apart?

                                      Update from earlier, in short order I am slightly screwed, but I kinda knew that. I have a prescribed route of treatment now though and a doc that I feel a bit comfy with.

                                      Step 1:
                                      http://www.apmhealth.com/conditions-treatments/treatments/thoracic-epidural-steroid-injection/

                                      Step 2:
                                      http://www.spine-health.com/video/spinal-cord-stimulator-implant-video

                                      Step 3:
                                      Surgery, let's not discuss this. This is much more life altering than the above and I don't like the ramifications as described today.

                                        That was the original plan, but the Danners have actually been the most durable and comfortable boots that i've worn. My Aldens were absolute shit, Red Wings were tough, but not near as comfortable, Quoddys are really comfortable, but sacrifice durability. I think the Danners should last now that i'm replacing the Cristy sole with a sierra sole. I really liked the Patterson boot they did a while back and these should now have a similar look with the added durability of rough out over nubuck. I like military inspired clothing, so it just seemed like the best way to go stylistically and practically.

                                          Nailed it.  Completely useless for doing anything more taxing than walking in them (occasionally)…...When my second pair failed, I was advised by the vendor, that if I wanted to actually walk in my Indy's, I should consider another brand....

                                            Weirdly, unlike most other areas of quality work wear that we're all into, price is no guarantee of quality in footwear. I have a pair of Dr Martens Valin oxfords that I have worn on and off for almost 4 years now and they are still pretty much in mint condition. They cost me £19.

                                            The failings of Danner and Alden as described above are absolutely inexcusable though, especially considering their price point and target market.
