I got these beautiful Vagabond boots at the end of November. I searched far and wide for boots with these specific features. Black, smooth leather, square toe, little to no platform and short heels. They were $200 and I LOVE them but just after two months of wear the right one started splitting and cracking.
I wear them approx 2-3 times a week and mostly to my office job and a couple of times on nights out. I am not hiking in them or doing anything that really warrants that amount of damage and none of my other shoes have ever done that before Thankfully Vagabond customer service was very kind and is letting me return them for a refund.
My problem now is that I LOVE these boots and I want to reorder but I am worried about the crack happening again. All the reviews on their website are good and I am hoping this is just a fluke but idk. If it were to happen again I don't think they would let me return them and it would be on me.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Do you think a cobbler could fix or reinforce the new ones if it shows signs of cracking?
