THEN WHY SELL THE JUNK!!! Rocky is generous enough to offer a 1 year warranty on their junk. I wonder why only 1 year??? This outfit can keep their Chinese junk.
The same thing happened to my 2 year old Rocky insulated hunting boots. The crap that bonds the uppers to the soles just rotted to dust. I paid as much for those cheap Chinese made boots as a good pair of US made boots used to cost.
Since no one makes hunting boots in the US anymore, I bought a nice pair of German made Meindl hunting boots with my Cabela's points.
