I also told you a week after I got them that there was a problem and you said to wet them and wear the until they were dry. I did not do that. then you removed your self from the pms. and did not answer any more of my pms. that is why I went public. I am 74 and Just completed 40 radation treatements for cancer and only have about 1/3 of my body strength so what do you think I could possibly do to ruin the boots?
