    Recent trip tried BBQing the soles ...still holding up.
    On a snow trip I sat a bit close to the fire, jumped up quickly as my feet were suddenly very hot. The soles had gone all spongy and had started separating from the body if the shoe. Of course I stood up
    Straight into ice cold snow which set the rubber, which would have been ok if they were straight. Two ruined ,pretty much brand new , Blunnies.

    Default Blundstone boots, Bah humbug!!!!

    Soooooo..... I broke down and got a pair of 500's, (always have wanted a pair) stout brown color (only way "stout" can be used in connection with these boots) returned the first pair after a days use for exchange, leather at the seam of upper to sole on boots had split in several places. Not a problem, now I notice on the second pair the stitching has failed on the back of the right boot, ( why only a single row of stitching beats me......) anyway I will be returning them tomorrow for a full refund, (having worn them for only a week, and only on city streets no less!) Thats it for me at $150 a pop ($ 195 at the local Orvis store :Wow1) I will not try a third time. POS from Vietnam.... should have known better. Oh well, No more rant. stay safe mjmcdowell
