Really disappointed

<p>Ever since I bought my 1st Palladium boot I fell unloved with these boots But today I felt sort of let down. This is my 3rd boot now and decided to wear it today for the 1st time. For most of the day I have been getting compliments for them but sadly I noticed that the rubber on the front of the shoe at the top started to split. I mean I thought these shoes were "durable" as its the cevlar looking material which i might add wasnt cheap.</p> <p>If I was in the army I would understand but I work in a carpeted office where it's not subjected to any harsh conditions. I would love to have some feedback regarding this.</p>
