Another Case of Sole De-lamination-SOL Warranty
These Lowa boots have had the same sole separation others here have experienced. These boots have very little wear on them, and have self-destructed. 90% of this failure happened on one 4 hour outing, and it was getting to the point that the sole was about to fall off. I would have had to pull the soles off in order to walk without tripping on them had I any farther to go. Lowa says this is not warrant-able, and is a normal occurrence with the material they use. I feel that if the boots have a “shelf life” where they fall apart without much use, they should come with a warning to that effect. I'm done with Lowa, and am buying quality USA made boots instead of Chinese made from now on. Sad, but Vasque and others have gone the same way. I have had many pairs of boots over the past 50 years, and none have done this.
