Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I initially wasn't going to write a review, but here we go. I love these boots, but they have a major flaw: they keep breaking along the seams. My first pair broke within the first six months of owning them. The seem along the sole broke, resulting in water/mud entering the boot. I contacted Nomad's customer service, they replaced my boots, with the message: "If you want to extend the use of the boots we advise not to use them in extreme weather conditions or soak them in water because they are water resistance and not water proof". Fair enough, except I never wore them in extreme weather conditions or soaked them in water. Just walked the dog on rainy days. So I get the second pair of boots in the mail (yay!). Initially I was super happy, only to find out today that the back of the boot is now splitting along the seam. I have worn these boots only during the summer time, when it was nice and dry. Disappointed :( Maybe there is a "break every nomad boot" curse on me, but I will not be purchasing new nomad boots and will be looking for something tougher to walk in.
