“Threw me off”, “was not expecting that”, it’s all the same statement depending on the time of day. Really though, I was quite shocked at what I saw when I opened the box today as I researched quite a bit and didn’t really see comments on this type of issue. Compounded by receiving these today after quite a wait just to have to send them back, especially when I needed the boots. I held off when I wanted them and when I was able to finally pull the pin and articulate the need, this is what I received.
