They are about 8 or 9 years old so don't think they will do anything. I my view boot should not just fail and fall apart but should wear out. Any way lads many thanks for all the input.

Arry 22,511 Posted July 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Well result. I a wrote a very polite emailed saying although Wifeys boots were well out of warranty I felt the soles should wear out rather than totally fail and fall apart. They emailed me a postal form and a question form and ask me to send them back which I did. As the boots were about 8 years old didn't think much would happen if I'm honest. They emailed me to say the sole had delaminated and the would replace the boots. Sure enough yesterday they turned up. Cant say fairer than that, was well surprised.

Second pair she has worn so she's keeping them the Scarpa lol are two small so she has had the cheek to ask for the next size up. They said no problem and even sent a postage DPD free postage back to them I cant believe how good they had been. The Wife likes the lightness of the Scarpa boots so who knows what will happen. Will keep you guys informed on the saga as it unfolds Lol. Cheers Arry 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
