WTF is this bulls*%t?

Had these badalssi Grigio boots about 16 months. Not even that heavy of wear really. I raged my nattys everyday for almost three years and never had an issue. Anyone experience something like this before?

Just noticed this when I got home from work:

@Mizmazzle

If it’s any consolation a good cobbler can take care of this pretty easily. I would have them use heavier duty or higher quality thread just to be safe.

[Mizmazzle]

@northsouthdenimguy that’s good to hear. I know shit happens. But it’s annoying none the less.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Mizmazzle

For sure, I’ve never had that happen but I also would be annoyed.

[Mizmazzle]

@northsouthdenimguy I also emailed John Lofgren to see what they have to say about it. Maybe they will step up and make it right somehow. Though I’m not holding my breath.

[Mizmazzle]

@northsouthdenimguy reached out to Grant at unsung. He confirmed it’s no biggie. Any cobbler worth their salt can fix it.

@Mizmazzle I had something similar on a pair of Wescos. It took my cobbler 5 minutes to fix. Annoying, but easy enough to get sorted.

@Mizmazzle

Nice! I was going to mention reaching out to Grant

[NickD]

I got a pair of M43s. It looks like same size as the Combats was the right way to go.

@NickD Would be interested to see how they evolve. The ones on their site look like they were used in the trenches but assume normal wear will evolve in a less extreme way.

@will6er I'll post pictures during my journey with them, but I find my boots don't patina very quickly. I work at a desk, in a city so they aren't getting hard wear.
