THis is all to funny to me, my g/f works at a shoe store that sells rockys.. she tells me that at LEAST 2 people per day bring boots back for various problems.. most common LEAKING when they say waterproof, an as mentioned the soles coming off.. most have pwned the boots less than 6! months. but i kinda like it when they bring back the "leaking boots" if there my size she pays 10 bucks for them an brings them home to daddy(i love my lil lady) lol. like snow seal an there waterproof again.
