My husbands work boots bit the dust today. They cost $70 dollars (sketchers) and today the sole came off. He's only had them for 4 months! So I've discovered that the Wal-mart boots are just as good ($30 dollars) and I will not be wasting money on expensive brand name boots again!

Oh I know! Sorry to hear about the boots.

I have found small appliances to be of really crappy quality lately. The last two irons I have bought are really not all that great. Sigh, nothing like the good old heavy ones!

Email the company and let them know that the boots have already bit the dust and that you really expected them to last longer as you were paying for their quality. I truly believe in constructive complaining. If I'm not happy with a product I always write or email the company. 4 out of 5 times they will send me items or money saving coupons on my next purchase. Sometimes even if I'm happy with a product I will let them know.

Ugh, I hate Sketchers... I bought myself a pair last year and they lasted a whole 3 months before they got a hole.
