No USA company would pay for the return of a pair of boots to a customer (or potential customer).Had a bit of a disappointing experience with Bakershoe today and figured I'd vent / get some opinions here. I post in this thread from time to time because I've had a hell of a time getting some shoes that fit my weird ass duck feet (and I have the double whammy of thinking PNW boots look really cool). I finally got a pair I loved (my MP boots in size 13E/D combo last) and everything was going swimmingly until about a year in when they started developing a squeak in both boots.
I tried the whole talcum powder thing but it didn't fix the issue, so I emailed bakershoe, who said that it'll cost $200+shipping to get them fixed. Expensive when you factor in the shipping from the UK but not quite at the threshold for me to consider it a sunk-cost fallacy.
I sent the boots over at significant cost, and after them arriving, about a week later I get an email from Drews boots telling me it'll cost $450 + shipping to fix the issue (!) because they'll need to be rebuilt. Obviously, at over twice what I was quoted, and acknowledging that I could just buy a new pair of boots at that price, I told them to forget it and send them back to me.; I wouldn't've have sent my boots over if I hadn't been misquoted by such a degree.
Now they have the nerve to ask me to cover the shipping to return my boots. The shipping back will be $80-100 I imagine, which is not insignificant, and the whole thing just rubs me the wrong way to be perfectly honest.
I'm rereading this situation and I'm trying as best as I can not to misrepresent the situation, but to me, they messed up by misquoting me, and I actually am quite disappointed that they'd expect me to cover the return shipping when I haven't done anything wrong.
Hopefully they'll make it right.
Anyway, if anyone is wondering how much it costs to get a squeak fixed, it's most certainly not $200.
I don't know what the solution to this particular situation is, but it sure as **** ain't this.No USA company would pay for the return of a pair of boots to a customer (or potential customer).
If the boots fit and you liked the way they look you should have lived with the squeak noise or bought yourself a pair of earplugs.
I have the same with Vibram 700 soles. I can compare them not to a 100, but a Sierra. I have a NW lasted six inch White's boot with the Sierra sole. The 700 is a bit lighter and broke in almost immediately compared to the Sierra.I’m considering switching out my soles for something lighter. I have the bounty hunters in Horsehide with a vibram100 lug sole. Would a different sole make a significant difference? Or is it not worth the change? Thanks
