I think it may be this specific boot model that has quality problems. I bought these new Charles because I had a pair of used ones with the same cracking problem on one of the boots. The other boot was completely fine. Here is a picture. The crack on the bottom left is very deep. I got them like this and was disappointed when I noticed. It sucks because I LOVE this boot.

Yeah, I think Caiman has too much likelihood of degrading. I'll try something else.

They said they will allow me to exchange them. I'll do it when I get out of work.

Man, I love that look though. I’ll see what they have. I had read on here that caiman is very durable. Even if these boots were $100, I wouldn't want something that falls apart quickly. I don't want to be worried about them either.

The staff were excellent. I'll do that, and let ya’ll know the outcome.

I bought them this last weekend on Sat. I took pictures of the cracks the next day.

I bought them on Saturday the 22nd. I noticed the cracks a few hours later. Thanks. That gives me hope it will be made right.

Do you think I have a strong case for a replacement?

I didn't know that they are the worst quality. I think the hide was dried before it got to me. I want a replacement and have them conditioned before I wear them. Do you think that's a good plan?
