I stumbled upon this pair and fell in love but wondering if there are other heels similar to it? I just can't justify £800+ on this purchase!

This is a pair of On Runner Roger shoes… they started to smell a little bad so I cleaned them per the manufacturer recommendations. The smell persisted, like a mildew smell. I noticed these spots on the bottom and at first I thought it was just first, but they appear to be underneath the gum rubber part of the sole and I believe it is mildew/mold and is what’s causing the smell. These shoes are a few months old and the rest of the shoes is still very clean and in good condition. This doesn’t seem normal that moisture should be able to get between the layers of the outsole like this and create mildew. I just wear them for daily use and they have not ever been in a moisture heavy situation, especially for long periods of time. Any thoughts this? ON is claiming it’s not a manufacturers defect… I believe it is, and whatever they use to adhere the layers of the outsole did not get full coverage and has resulted in allowing moisture between the layers. It’s very frustrating as they aren’t cheap shoes that I haven’t had very long. Never seen anything like this with any other pair of shoes I’ve ever had

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?
