Default getting ticked off

Last fall I purchased a pair of Rocky goretex boots from bass pro and have worn them 30 times or so and the stupid things are already falling apart, the soles on both boots are almost completely off.I've been e-mailng them about this and they refuse to reply and it is really hacking me off. Why can't companies stand behind their products! These were $100 boots, and I know I could have gotten Wal-mart cheapies that would lasted a lot longer than that

I used to only wear Rockies and the last two pair, the soles started cracking and falling apart. Pathetic for what you pay for them. I dont think Rocky makes boots like they used to. Who isnt standing behind their product, Rocky or Bass Pro? I would think Bass Pro would stand behind their product justlike Cabelas stands behind all of their products. I would try and deal with Bass Pro before Rocky.

I switched to Danners and havent looked back..

rocky boots suck....i'm going on my 4 or 5th pair in two years...i'd give them up completely but i can't find any other snakeboots for women....so i keep sending them back and they keep sending me a new pair...eventually i'll find another dealer and move on.

My son got a pair of them at cabelas and they fell apart in 5 days elk hunting. My Danner prong horns have been going strong since 97 , I just broke down and got the kid a pair of Man boots. Danner is the best hunting boot I have ever worn. I don't sit in trees, I am up and down mountains all day for a month strait. They are the only thing that can make it in my testing grounds.

I'm not gonna say anything, and I'm definitely not going to get started on Red Head products, but I've had lots of boots and so far the ones that I have no complaints of are Irsih Setters and Danners. Irish setter makes every type of boot you can think of and they are AWESOME. Good Luck.

Also, If you want to send them to me with the receipts I will take them to the store and see what I can do.

I have some Irish Setter rubber boots. They are great and were passed on to me from my dad. They are still going strong. They arent insulated but they are tough.
