Beware Falco Boots

I bought a pair of Falco Ranger boots from Sportsbikeshop just over a year ago. Recently I noticed that the heel reinforcements had sort of collapsed and become soft.
I returned the boots to Sportsbikeshop, but Falco apparently said that they expected the reinforcements to last approximately a year and that it was not deemed any fault in manufacturing.
So guys, beware when buying Falco products - they may not last as long as you'd expect.

 

That's what I thought too, as I've used Sportsbikeshop for years without any complaint, but they are just saying they can't do anything and are just sending the boots back to me. I did say I would be letting forum members know, but they didn't seem bothered !
