Hi-tec leather boots

My husband insisted we buy only Hi-Tec shoes for work, since his old ones were done after 2yrs. After a long search we found geniune leather ones at Tekkie Town in Silverlakes. After one months wear it was torn on 2 places. The one hole not even possible to repair! That was really money wasted especially since it is the Foreman Chelsea Garrick Collection. And it was not cheap!
